  • Wow.. so that's Joe Gordon next to Paul Horn? Thought it was Art Farmer also. And Max Roach-? Amazing. I believe that is Jimmy Bond on bass. Very cool impromptu kind of combo. This is one of my favorite movies. So atmospheric. And Dennis Hopper is perfect.

  • Wow !... it only took me 47 minutes !... Feels like ages to me !... and excuse my english if it is not very proper or understandable sometimes, I'm just a frenchy !...

  • Part Seven: (this is IT, I swear !) I forgot to add black American's jazz players, started to make their music in France before going back in America (France had no racial issues... then !...) only the music was there, but not carrying beatniks with them. I guess it was a very "white" movement, no ?... And well, that's all folks !... See you around !... RIP to all great beatniks !

  • Part Six: (I'm getting way out of subject now !...) beatniks came around. Anyhow, the Beat Generation wasn't a french thing, as far as I know, there were no french beatniks around. Boris Vian or Serge Gainsbourg (Simone de Beauvoir too, in her own way, maybe ?...) could come close to the Beat Generation, but France wasn't as advance as America yet, even the hippy movement arrived later here than in America. Even though jazz became big in France and a lot of black american's made their ways in

  • Part Five: (wow !... what a speech !... didn't thought I was going to introspect THAT much !... sorry to whom ever I am bothering, you do not have to read or share my opinions !) give a shit about their fifty years old daughter who is, just now, having her adolescent crise !... Of course, with no adults around showing me which way to go and letting me "learn" on my own, I had to be a adult before I even was a adolescent ! Living home at 13, taking ether (like Baudelaire who was a beatnik before

  • Part four: ever, with whom ever watching our joining them would change the face of the world !... It fucked every bodies up you mean !!! Women madly in love had to face their beloved ones "making love" with their best friends... who could truly survive this ? Which kid would want to hear their mams or dads having a orgasm with a "stranger" to them. I know what I'm talking about, I'm a post sixty-eight kid and a fucked up adult still looking for recognition from her mam and dad who still doesn't

  • Part three: grounded than hippies were. They were more turn to psychology and philosophical thinking than hippies, they were experiencing, yes, but on their own, not trying to involve anybody else but themselves to find "the meaning of life" and how to manage life feeling "different" of the rest of the world, sharing their opinions and trying to learn from others, but always leading their own ways, not as hippies who were all sharing the same thinkings and believing that fucking whom ever, where

  • Part Two: image of human beings but so unreal.When William Burrought wrote "Naked" it wasn't about people living in teppies in hudge fields of green grass full of flowers and kids "sharing" their dads and mams with the others kids, being left to ground up with no authorities what so ever. Put the limits down and what's left ?... a scary space, so vast that it is like facing a dark hole, with no lights on the way and no signs to let you know which direction you should take. Beatniks were more

  • There was something about that era that was far cooler than anything that is happening today. The blues, the jazz, the avant garde poetry, attitudes, coffee houses, cafes, names & wacky sculptures & art. The ambience. Even the cigarette smoke swirling around. The way some of those hip snazzy chicks looked. The jargon. It lasted for a little while & it remains misunderstood. It's really too bad. Beatniks & Hippies....what was the real difference anyway? No one ever explained that one to me.

  • @lastrada52 Denis has been bought, first a young beatnik who became a "rebellious hippie", His movie "Easy Riders" is a mix of the beatnik spirit and the hippie's experiences but he doesn't go for the "Peace and Love" bullshit of the hippies, he didn't stop being like Jack: On the road.Hippies were kind of laid back, even though they moved and fight against the Vietnam War, nothing is left behind them, nothing but stupidities like dancing naked putting flowers in each others hairs...beautiful

  • Beatnik blues and walkin' basses..."somethun' funny" at echster...and I love this video.

  • I've been that sailor all my life...

  • the good days where we were allowed to smoke in bars!!!!!~

  • @TwistedMentality089 That's debatable for smokinh, but yeah. Times were much more carefree and, well, free, after all the time spent for the war effort back then. Music was "Swingin' ". You show the average kid this, but he or she'd say "What is this?".

    We could all ask the same thing sometimes for today's adolescence. Lyrics also had much more meaning when they were made around the mid 20th century for many songs they made. Too much perversion, man. People are getting evil all of a sudden.

  • Nice! Some good chops there. Who was the trumpet? Art Farmer? The song? Hard to tell. Looked and sounded like a modal in "G" minor though.

  • @warrenclarkable

    That's Joe Gordon on trumpet.

  • Swabby!

  • Amazing clip. This was the best era for Jazz..it was an era never to be copied. As guitarist Pat Martino says " ..the culture that surrounded jazz is what's missing"

  • Jazz and Dennis Hopper......doesnt't get too much better than this. RIP Mr. Hopper.

  • man i missed out a fun time to be alive a club to hang out and no worries at all, you can be yourself and not pretend to be someone you are not. great movie, great clip, great actor, i cried when i read he had passed away and not ashamed to admit it. take care friends.

  • you'll be missed Dennis.

  • Excuse my ignorance. I wish to know what is the name of this style of jazz.

  • yeah... man...! that's beat-nik... beatnik jazz... dig...? 11/32nds... you can't play that shit no more...with the bongos 'n the doghouse... cool jazz... kerouac is dead... ginsberg too... six steps down... the lost poet cafe... lennon was a beatnik... now i know that all along - i was really a beatnik... it's the birth of the cool...

  • Bohemic...!

  • beebop, isn't it? that's max roach on drums for sure.

  • Comment removed

  • Respond to this video...

    I was going to say it was Chico Hamilton judging from the Paul Horn association but after looking at period pictures of both it is Roach. It's more a west coast post-bop style though, which is another reason i was inclined to think it was Hamilton 

  • @coy0te9 do you know the song????

  • Great scene,cool club.Wish there were still places like that ! Night Tide was an excellent movie,too.

  • damn daddyo this is the mcdaddy

  • very "cool" clip. Paul Horn sounds great!
