Eric Dolphy with Charles Mingus

[Thundermonkeyms]

What's this song called?

[Tengent]

Anyone know similar sounding music? (mixture of 20th century classical music + jazz)

[chemiah]

Mindblowing! Why couldn't I have been born in that era.

[abusedbynycpolice]

This joint sounds like something from"The Clown"Album. Hmm

[GlooStikk1]

if you're gonna cut off the vid, no better place to do it than when the drummer drops his cig and looks salty about it :)

[308miliyah]

直立猿人ですか？

[Dfrankjazz]

Enjoy a GREAT master class on the music of Eric Dolphy ! Type in "Dave Frank" Dolphy on Ustream. You vill dig this!

[clarkewi]

There's a Mingus among us....

[pfflam]

MORE MORE MORE!!

[pooperscoopr69]

Dolphy was the most accomplished jazz flautist in the history of the genre.

He could give Gazzelloni a run for his proverbial money.

[Tengent]

I've only listened to a few of Eric's tunes on Youtube. What is this one called? It's greaaat.

[fulzgy]

this is in such good quality....where is the rest of the video?

[Dfrankjazz]

Hi fellow Dolphy fans, join me for a fantastic Eric Dolphy master class free anytime! Type in "Dave Frank" Dolphy on Ustream website.

Big fun, entertaining , and very educational:) Eric lives!

[ZeuhlEmgalai]

This sounds like nothing I've ever heard, and I've listenend to a lot of things..

[MissEgasMoniz]

@vectortemple Waddle along you useless asswipe and get back to your Jonas Bros.

[rdevicsaint]

Meditations on Integration, Wonderful piece, great historic footage. Great stuff! Chris

[titass420]

wowzas mingus was FAR too cool for his time. the part where Dolphy gets on that bass clarinet sounds like Zappa.

[jfreijser]

Haha, I think Mingus & Dolphy were the source of inspiration for Zappa!

[rasjvon]

zappa does not have chops at all like dolphy------u should check out dolphy's rendition of "epistrophy"-----dolphy was one of the best soloists of all time----zappa. maybe in the top 500

[rceretta]

@rasjvon I'd put zappa in the top 50.

[MissEgasMoniz]

Dolphy was a rare talent

[jazzflutist]

He's lost the stopper on the end of his flute.

[Whatisthescore]

@jazzflutist and the drummer loses the tip to his stick.

[sclogse1]

At around 13 seconds, if he doesn't look like Chris Rock...I just don't know....hey..! an idea....

[lihujazz]

great flutist and maybe one of the the greatest jazz flutist ever!!! but his sound can be better...

[mahoose6]

Btw the song is called "Meditations"

[oOJimmySueOo]

Meditations on Integration to be exact

[mahoose6]

I guess it was just shortened to Meditations on the Cornell '64 album then

[mahoose6]

Ya, this is when they were at Cornell in 1964

I have the album

[saksenaz123456]

haha when the drummer's cigarette falls off his ear and he is bashful and looks at the camera loll

[lufelima]

Music can't get better than this.

[Chickenpainter111]

this is the clearest and most lifelike video I've ever seen of Eric! (even though YouTube compressed the fuck out of it) Is there any interviews or color photographs with him available.

[lovespinkchocolate]

Sorry for the delay in responding. Yes there are a few interviews of Eric Dolphy... busy seeking them. But there is a great biography of Eric. CD entitled: "Last Date".

I must post more of Eric. Hell I'll start tonight.

[zackthemack]

fuck, they took down the video with the mingus solo

[dbeckster]

Do they have any albums together

[MokshaIS]

yes, i forget the name of it, but it's live

[bethellodge]

it's called Charles Mingus Presents Charles Mingus ...it's on Candid Records. BUT it's not live...it's fake, or more like a joke... a studio recording where Mingus addresses a non audience -asking, jokingly, for them to hold their applause etc,

[charlieparkersgal]

Jazz Workshop. And the album is Live at the Jazz Workshop San Francisco

[jimmysticks]

Charles Mingus Sextet with Eric Dolphy - Cornell 1964

[bethellodge]

all of the albums mentioned are correct

[lovespinkchocolate]

Yes they do. I'll get you the list under separate cover. Must be Mingus' wife Sue Mingus having clips taken down.

[oegaziz43]

Just adding my thanks.

[hluttje]

beautifull!! Thanks for uploaden

[Plinblox]

wella, I couldn't see how silly the drummer's hat was, but I could hear how subtle the drummer's actions were. Eric Dolphy's always been my personal favorite diabetic wind instrumentalist. Though I must admit, I'm thoroughly taken by his presentations

[clewisfan]

incredible music. i was pissed off that the whole thing hadn't been posted.

[jaroslavmottl]

beautiful music ,please more of it !

[BuckshotLaFunke]

Jaki Byard on piano?

[ZappaJam]

Incredible, which concert is this taken from ?

[scoopdiesel]

Ahhh.... where's the rest of it? It was just starting to get into the tune... I've got blueballs.

[macthetablespoon]

it must be pretty serious, for darkies to address Congress with silly hats on their collective bonces

[macthetablespoon]

is this so serious, it's like darkies addressing Congress?

[gilesbarratt]

i love it

[gbtayc]

Greats, the best of the best

[07BSPtC]

One of the greatest jazz bands ever. Pure magic. Even Coltrane acknowledged Eric as one of the few players who could play at his level, and in my eyes Eric was a better improviser, he was just too far out to be mainstream.

[ContrabassSaxophone]

I completely agree.

[tmcdona1]

i dont think that it is about who is a better improviser. what you mean is technical ability. Creativity is more important and both had different ideas. Eric wasnt a better improviser, he was a different improviser.

[crazydhesi]

It must be pretty hard to play a flute with a bass clarinet at your neck!

[juicelayer]

lol dannie richmond loses his cigarette at the end

[thedbassist]

Thats pretty cool, he puts ron burgundy to shame.

[boazini]

Mingus, and Dolphy were both from LA.

[fiddlercrab3]

Eric Dolphy is such a genius.

[PinkCloud37]

I want that drummer's hat.

[Souleros]

He's obviously playing a C-flute, if it were an Alto, his hands would be further spaced apart. But whatever flute is in his hands, it's MAGICAL!

He was a truly unique & fabulous artist, an inspiration to me, both as a flutist & as an "improvising artist"! He died way, way, way too soon!

[Wackiavelli]

The flute Eric is playing is an ALTO FLUTE (in the key of G), not a bass flute. -Scimonetti

This is a C flute. Check the footage at 00:56 and you'll hear Eric playing a concert B. If this was an alto, his right hand would be covering F and E (to play an E on alto flute, which is concert B) And even though we can't see exactly what his left hand is covering, we can tell by his right.

[entengle]

The last time God 'spoke' was through Eric's flute!

[longboarder1960]

Cool Cats indeed !!!

[Scimonetti]

The flute Eric is playing is an ALTO FLUTE (in the key of G), not a bass flute.

So when is someone going to post the worlds most amazing bass clarinet solo EVER...which is Eric Dolphy playing OLEO on the bass clarinet? That solo he played on Oleo proved something to everyone about that instrument. You can get it on iTunes for a buck if you do not have it and would like to hear what I am talking about.

[fnoodle999999999]

does any one know the name of this song

[LuvsPinkChocolate]

Hey i see you found the videos good job..yeap i knew you were here

[moellanbo]

so fucking amazing

[07BSPtC]

Beautiful sound with the bowed bass and the flute.

[lovespinkchocolate]

Have you heard all of Eric Dolphy's flute works? His masterpiece of "You Don't Know What Love Is, is unmatched by anyone. If you think so please educate me.

[07BSPtC]

@lovespinkchocolate I have a ton of his albums, live and studio, and I have a few versions of it and I love it. I am a huge Dolphy fan.
