Dave Brubeck - Things Ain't What They Used To Be - 1970 part 2

[dinasaur2]

what a great bunch of muso's.

[zman1937]

Great, Wonderful , no word

[Ligalkp]

wow! Alan Dawson.

[ksenos69]

The best Brubeck Quartet ever.

[tenorote]

is there a bari, or, any other sax player, that has Geru's scale, tone, and inventiveness today?  Please advise if you know... I would really love to hear it.

[archlordXd0]

@tenorote Well, I thin Gerry borrowed alot of concept from the great Lester Young

[drdeathbass]

@archlordXd0 Everyone in the 50-60's took the style of Lester Young.

[DrumTchr]

@tenorote George Young, Gary Meek, Joe Lovano, Sonny Rollins.... I mean c'mon... we have lot's of great sax players with us. You didn't restrict your question to baritone.

[afinkeln]

is that a tune gerry plays when he starts or is that part of his solo?

[Thenerdydrummerguy]

Where's joe?!!?

[jonathansmb]

[ComicSaxProductions]

i barely recognize him. his sound 9and the name if the vid) were the only things that told me i was listening to gerry.

[sk8erboy1414]

Beautiful sax playing Gerry. You made the bari sax fashionable.

[adiclm29]

Gerry Mulligan is dreamy.

[bassoonguy240]

awesome!! i love this recording

[tlengland2007]

Brad Hall looks like Gerry Mulligan. Awesome.

[da19lila38]

What's the use of comparing absolutely different musicians? They are both wonderful in their own.

[da19lila38]

Of course, Gerry is wonderful and I admire him but to say he was better than Carney is to say nothing. " Живущий несравним."Each is in his own. Listen to Harry's solo in: Duke Ellington-Lotus Blossom(live version&trio)! Btw, Duke loved Harry greatly. And, please, don,t mix Music and Race. Just enjoy it.. Sorry...

[MyManDan]

uh that is dennis leary on the sax

[HammondB200]

hahahhaha

[aoz089]

mulligan was beter than carney he even played with ellington when carney could not make it but thanks for these mulligan tapes they make my day

A little trivia about this video. Does anyone know why Dawson is pulling up his pant leg at :35 ? I'll give you a hint...this was in the early 1970's. The 1st right answer I bet is a drummer that played in the 70's.

[sofo1000]

I guess the bassdrum beater got lost in his endless trousers...

Anyway I'm far too young to have played in the 70ies but this still happens from time to time :)

[ggnzlz2008]

Porque en los 70 se usaban los pantalones MUY anchos y se trababan con el pedal del bombo. No es necesario ser baterista para saber esto, yo soy saxofonista.

¡Salud!

[ThousandEmbers]

Bellbottom pants will do it every time

[WafflesAndKetchup]

nah.black men r best at saxophone and clarinet.

[nodder1]

apparently not....

[Jazzman303]

I agree Waffles... Black people are just better at stuff. But this Jerry Mulligan and Pepper Adams, Nick brignola were still as good as Sahib Shihab and Harry Carney.. harry Carney is still my favorite though. It's black music though... What do white people expect?

[HammondB200]

something similar has been said about bassists

[morkbutson]

It so amazing how every other rendition of this song sounds so BAD compared to this version.

[brokeandhungryxx]

this is great!!!

[gregs5000]

only fantastic!

[pizzicato16]

I am overloaded by genius.

[ContrabassSaxophone]

Awesome.

[woffie1947]

Gerry Mulligan didn't like pianists. But his collaboration with Dave Brubeck seems effortless and without any stress. The rhythm section with Jack Six and Alan Dawson is impeccable. Thanks for posting this musical gem.

[cdadave83814]

Maybe Mulligan and Brubeck clicked so well because Brubeck is actually a very percussive pianist who plays with a lot of drive, and perhaps that's what Mulligan missed in most pianists. That's my theory. Whatever the case, this is a great Brubeck lineup as well. I have the 1971 Newport album (jazz festival) and their version of Take Five on that album is astonishing.

[primobaritono]

Awesome ! Thanks so much for posting !

[matamor78]

fantastic! thx for the vid!

[saxophoney]

You found another classic 70-'s Brubeck video! That's great stuff. This is on the audio CD "The Dave Brubeck Quartet featuring Gerry Mulligan at the Berlin Philharmonic" from 1970.

Thanks for posting.

[zcx99]

I am listening to the double CD set "Live At The Berlin Philharmonie" right now and the version on this double cd set is not the same as the one in this video.

[zcx99]

Sorry, I was wrong, this version is on that CD! However, it starts (or picks up) almost 11 minutes into the audio cd track of the same name!
