  • Nice to see Dave giving it socks

  • Superbe !

  • Rest in peace buddy :(

  • I Just LOVE this piece of music,Ive met Joe Morello and recieved a 2 hour intensive drum lesson from him,Treendous Guy and Musician........Great Clip!!!

  • @1981TURBOTRANSAM1 That is awesome that you got lessons from Mr Morello, may he rest in peace. I would love to hear your experiences from him.

  • he is the beethoven for piano jazz

  • @ozzieniowa well said XD

  • damn, they played that faster than the album

  • @wasian666 yeah this is like double speed compared to the album haha, i learned it on piano and first tried to play along with this version...yeah friken right haha super fast speed

  • A masterpiece!!!!

  • realyl great !!!

  • is that another song that brubeck is playing at 3:37?? it sounds familiar

  • Desmond's solo is just....daaamn.

  • I love that bit at about 2:13 that goes into the 4/4 section. So hard to play though

  • Pure geniuses at work here! Today's artist couldn't even begin to dream up that kind of talent...especially live!!

  • Even better than that recorded-at-studio's version

    =)

  • what's a Craven Filter?

  • Craven Filters or Craven A Filters were a cigarette brand. Cigarette manufacturers sponsored many TV shows around the world, until a bunch of serial complainers decided that it was bad to advertise cigs on TV, as it may corrupt children. Now we just have rap artists extolling the virtues of crack and marijuana, neither of which contribute money to the arts.

  • Bitchin'!

  • bin heute total streichel bedürftig , wer will schreiben oder telefonieren

  • why is Werner Von Braun doing the introduction?

  • Amazing!

  • I actually like how they rush the trips and sixteenths a bit. Its a great live intensity. And.....yes, Desmond is absolutely effortless and exceedingly clever.

  • Is it just me....or do they all look alike. Besides the bass. Talented musicians though. Love this song.

  • hahah well pointed

  • I think it would've been hilarious to see the bassist, Eugene Wright, put on a pair of the same styled glasses to see if anyone caught on to him. If the others accidentally caught a glimpse of it I'm sure they would've, at least, cracked a smile.

  • Isso sim é Jazz de qualidade.

  • Ótimo, perfeito!

  • Muito bom.

  • This music is so human to me..

  • Struggling ?!!?!?! The Desmond is effortless in anything he ever played... if the comment was towards the expressions he made , The man had a sometimes stupendous lung capacity for the amount of smokes he consumed ...

  • these guys could do no wrong. I don't hear anything but masterful playing. This music and these musicians contributed moments in time that shaped jazz music forever. All my thumbs are up.

  • they play a bit too fast in my opinion, but desmond's solo is wicket. even compared to his other performances.

  • amazing

  • agreed Tancred - don't take credit away from Desmond, the man is his own style

  • Superb!

  • Spectacular.

  • :)

    thanks for posting this

  • what a genius

  • Fantastic! Besides the truncated Blue Rondo rendition on the Ralph Gleason program, this is the only other Blue Rondo version I've seen, except this one isn't cut off 1/3 of the way through. Great!

  • You think Paul Desmond, one of the living legends of jazz, is struggling? Man, I think you just showed 13,152 (which is the number of people that have viewed this video so far) people how clueless you are.

    Paul Desmond was not only a legend, but one of the best alto saxophonists of his generation or any generation for that matter. I'm surprised that you don't your facts, so the only suggestion I have for you is to learn about jazz and actually listen, then you might learn something.

  • lol great comment bluemonk82 but he isn't a "living" legend of jazz lol he died in 77' or something like that. long gone but never forgotten

  • Comment removed

  • Thank you so much for posting this footage, I think this is the only footage of brubeck playing this live on youtube

  • ah! so much faster live

  • I've never seen how Blue Rondo Ala Turk played! Seems MUCH more complicated than I thought!

  • gracias! thanks!

  • brutal! sublime! grandioso!

  • 2+2+2+3 / 2+2+2+3 / 2+2+2+3 / 3+3+3
