Horace Silver, Blue Mitchell & Junior Cook

[beShur]

Fantastic! Brilliantly awesome )

[clh2192]

@FoundCakee Would not have thought, nor heard of Buck Clayton. My list Diz, [Donald] Byrd, Armstrong, Miles and Morgan.

[montyladd]

No such thing as BO spray back then

[drstrangelove09]

Like it so much that I've now listened to it five times!

[drstrangelove09]

Excellent!

[Bamaguze]

farismas3ad. Gene Taylor on Bass and Louis Hayes on Drums

[jazzjanne1]

Outstanding!

[torageba]

Carmell JonesやWoody Shawも良いけど、ぼくは断然Blue Mitchellが大好きです☆

[MrLsouza77]

Señor Blues. George Shearing's version is great too.

[farismas3ad]

what are the names of the bassist and drummer?

[glassroom135]

@farismas3ad Same thing I was thinking!

[Arborwaychet]

My take on this fantastic piece reiterates cartoonlike's comments. As a player I'd say the horns blow heartfelt beautiful lines, but if you can understand my meaning 'nothing out of the ordinary' ... the statements that Horace makes are extraordinary especially given when this was played. Those lines are nothing short of genius at work and much to be learned from them.

[7Bobby7Platinum7]

so gangsta

[nobb0801]

@shlomonew never

[nealmabrey]

lets not forget Chet Baker

[kirkfeather1]

I'm a sax player and I had the unbelievably good fortune to hear the following quintet once at a place that was called Boomer's on Bleeker Street in NYC, in1976: Blue Mitchell, Junior Cook, Ceder Walton, Sam Jones and Billy Higgins! The most unforgettable night of music of my life. They played a number of Horace's tunes that Blue and Junior tore up and one that was out-of-this-world beautiful: "Rapture." Blue's solos that night convinced me that he was the greatest modern jazz trumpeter.

[HornsOfJericho26]

What a great drummer... who is this?

[soulgriot]

@HornsOfJericho26

That's the great Louis Hayes!!!!! He was also with Cannonball Adderley. He's still active and can be heard often in NYC.

[ocnoreen]

One of my fave cuts. Would that jazz still had that edge in the music biz. Blue Mitchell, a heavyweight who left too soon.

[claryscat]

Aaaah, yeah! Tha's right. So in the pocket iss like layin' in the cut. Not completely nasty, more like in love!! Laaawd hamerci...

[PhillipNicewaner]

@FoundCakee: Heh...I can't think of anyone besides Mitchell and Davis, mainly because I Mitchell blows me away and I am not the biggest fan of Davis.

[bakeredward1]

henrimoon, yes, all of the above, but especially diz, clifford, booker little.

[otmq]

I'd like to know who the bass player and the drummer are??? Anyone know?

[boricuatrumpet69]

I lobe it how he describes to the audience what style of music and what time signature its being played in. You do not get that at all these days.

[DreamofWires]

Wow! Awesome. I grew up on this amazing music, thanks to my dad. Blue Mitchell is one of my favorite artists of all time. "I Never Asked To Be" was my childhood jam. And it still is.

[henrimoon]

miles davis,freddie hubbard,lee morgan,louis ware,tommy turrentine, buck clayton, webster young

[custardapple777]

Very cool.

Personally I think all the dudes in this vid are under-rated.

[espMF]

muy buenos

[cackoboo]

[SonofHelge]

@cackoboo

I think it's louis hayes

[cackoboo]

Junoir Cook heavely underated tenor player. Horace didn''t think so thank god

[hylozoik]

YES!!! =))

[kwena7]

cooking!

[ks02351]

凄いですねー、ふむっ。。



[vinvid2u]

So nice of you to post this clip. Hard to believe this was over 50 years ago.

[trmptdreams]

Such a simplistic style blues, especially in the piano behind the band. But it still has that cool, laid-back style that I love, this is a really cool video!

[jay1beaux]

some of the best music of the 20th century (or any other)

[Ratamacui]

Does Somebody know when and where this set was recorded?

[OscarJPoiesz]

@Ratamacui I believe this was recorded somewhere in the Netherlands. Apparently this was made for broadcasting in 1959. Could that be right?

[BebopAuthor]

Horace Silver is heads above the madding crowd with his focus and intensity and so damn sweet it blows my mind back to yesterday when he was cooking with Junior and Blue; there is a joy that "smack's of a blues that soars and heads right up into the rare and toxic upbeat ether of making it happen...even on a blues. You have to have been there to know that they are playing inside of a flow of burning wonder.

[edrjazz]

@BebopAuthor WORD!!

[BuckshotLaFunke]

Drummer looks like Louis Hayes.

[sitarnut]

This has totally wiped me out! Where is this kind of music now? I always think of Pops first too- Kenny Dorham also with Cannonball- back in the 60s we thought we were something with our minor walk-downs, etc- then an old neighbor man told us- Jazz began and ended with POPS- 30 years later I heard Louis' groups from 1925..they already had EVERYTHING covered - maybe he was right?

[BRUITBLEU]

Jazz ended with each musician death and rebirth whith each new musician All over the world, young musicians discover and plays this music far away the music business (And the money too....!)but its carry on . The 4tet of Horace was(is) incredible; enjoys!

[brewepau]

I met Blue back in 1978. He was a sweet guy. So underrated, too. Who could outplay him on a ballad? No one, in my opinion.

[cartoonlike]

That's a wiiiild descending run around 4:40. Silver was a deceptively sophisticated player.

[edrjazz]

@cartoonlike , deceptively sophisticated indeed. so many of his tunes are such incredible melodies over grooves that are also killer. check out his tune Pyramid if you get a chance... its all good; cheers.

[pavelcheshev]

@cartoonlike And, fortunately, he still is!

[soulgriot]

@cartoonlike

That's a double-diminshed pattern, I believe!!!

[cartoonlike]

Junior Cook, vastly underrated player. Would like to see biographical essays on him, plus transcriptions.

[ravengal44646]

Who is the bass player?

[heyjude8er]

The bass player is Gene Taylor.The drummer is Roy Brooks.What an awesome group!

[upjumpedspring]

@heyjude8er

It's great reading something intelligent (and accurate) in the responses. I thought I was familiar/knowledgeable, but I had no idea who the rest of the rhythm section was. Thank you.

[blue47er]

Let's mention also: Clifford Brown, Buck Clayton, Fats Navarro, Joe Newman, Art Farmer, oh i could go on and on, the list of giants is a long long list.

[kingoliver45]

Thanx for gettin my brain workin! Blue mitchell always comes to mind!! Pops comes first though.

[JazzPoetic65]

@kingoliver45 Great Choice!!! I was introduced to Blue Mitchell's music thru a pianist named frank Stagnitta that worked with Chet Baker and Eddie Gomez in the late 70's. thanks again keep posting!!!

[PeeWee81horn]

Horace Silver and Blue Mitchell together!!  FANTASTIC!!!

[trumpetgod3]

I hope you know that Blue Mitchell was in Horace's band in the albums "Finger Poppin'", "Blowin' the Blues Away" and "Horace Scope"

[hommedelamer]

he looks like Charlie Rouse

[BrunoJazzmanLeicht]
