@arhuxtable None of the Trio played instruments, or at least not during performances. Jim McGuinn (who later changed his name to Roger) was their backup musician in the early days, followed by Paul Prestopini and another chap.
The actual title of the album is BELAFONTE RETURNS TO CARNEGIE HALL,a sequel to BELAFONTE AT CARNEGIE HALL. Many people today can tell about their experiences attending this May 2,1960 concert.
Hey! Joe! vicar69 enjoyed talking to you today as you were so gracious to me and my son, Jed. I tried the "facebook" thing, not sure if I succeeded, but I did access the trio's web-site and look forward to seeing you boys in concert again. God bless you and keep you safe in His arms. In Him, Deborah Davis
PLEASE DON'T READ THIS you will die in seven days if you don't post this comment on 10 videos in the next hour. if you do, tomorrow will be the best day of your life
"12 days of Christmas", (HE is still alive??) and "we're your friendly liberal neighborhood klu klux can" ("that reporter was just obscene, yeah he can't call us those dirty names; what does anglo saxon mean?"") two of your best and most searing songs!!!
Actually, I didn't join the Trio until after this concert. We still sing it and our version is on our new DVD - as sung on "Hullabaloo!" in 1985. Really fun to sing. The text is Hebrew (Isaiah 1:!) and is read once a year during Mass. (I'm an Episcopal priest now. Fr. Joe Frazier
I was maybe 8yrs old when my brother (nine years older) bought your albums. I sat & listened to you for many hours. I later recall a Hootenanny performance with CMT & Miriam Makeba so beautiful that I cried.
Many years later, I became my church's choir director, singing Eastern Orthodox Church music. But I must tell you -- everything my ear first learned about musical timing, dynamics and harmonies, I learned from the Chad Mitchell Trio. And I couldn't have had better teachers! Thank you!
During that live concert at Carnegie Hall, the Chad Mitchell Trio also gave a rousing performance of "I Do Adore Her" and of "The Ballad Of Sigmund Freud."
I have the concert recording on LP. Still sounds great.
PS: Belafonte opened the door for the Chad Mitchell Trio to make it in the business. He came across them one evening and got the ball rolling on launching their career.
PPS: Belafonte and Odetta were incredible that night as well, of course.
That "Return To Carnegie Hall" album has long been one of my favorites, and The Trio's "Ballad of Sigmund Freud" one of my favorites in that album. (It closes with the Kinsey era: I've added two verses to update it a bit.) Been looking for someone to post "Freud."
I loved it when Belafonte introduced the Chad Mitchell Trio during that Carnegie Hall concert saying, "These young men are very young--as you'll see in a moment--and their main concern at the moment isn't recording hit songs. Their main concern at the moment is to stay out of the United States Army!" LOLOL. ;)P That was priceless.
Belafonte was indeed good at humor. One of my favorites of his droll introductions was the story he told on the original Carnegie Hall album to introduce the song, "Man Piaba."
Harry Belafonte first spotted the Chad Mitchell Trio at a nightclub called the Blue Angel not far from Carnegie Hall,labeling them "one of the newest and most refreshing groups I've heard in a long,long time". Another concern of the CMT's was not trying to get work.
No, this was long before Denver joined the group. John sang with Mike Kobluk and Joe Frazier after Chad left the group in 1965, and then with subsequent lineups.
No group could compare with the Chad Mitchell Trio's musicality in terms of the layering of a song or the breadth, depth and variety of folk songs and their interpretation of them in general. "Vaichazkem" is difficult to speak, let alone sing with the vitality that this group shows. Great!!!

This was Harry Belafonte's back-up band supplying the instrumentation. I thought the Chad Mitchell Trio played guitars themselves.

@scooterdudeofcopley Okay, so a year late... It comes from Second Chronicles 26:9/10
And Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem... and fortified them (vaichazkem). And he built towers in the desert (or wilderness) and hewed many cisterns.

Harry Belafonte should have become a comedian,secondarily. Noel Paul Stookey of Peter Paul & Mary fame is a secondary comedian also.
