Mulligan, Brubeck & Desmond - the heroes of my youth in the 1950's. Their records took all my pocket money. I don't regret one penny of it.

Paul Desmond touches my soul. Thank God I discovered jazz!

What creativity !! Desmond was just so great. He's a poet on the sax. The whole group was great.

動画のデズモンド初めてでした。 心をこめて吹く姿、感動しました。 サウンドが美しいです。

Desmond and Mulligan and Stan Getz are instantly recognizable. I was lucky enough to see all of them perform - so long ago.

Nobody will do nothing better than Gerry & Paul in the future on that theme!! wooww brilliant!

I was jamming and one of the guys called this tune as "All the Chords There Are." If you've played it, you just laughed.

super-jazz .. it makes me happy ..

The immortal version of Desmond and Mulligan on steroids? (due the richness and incredibly rich ideas that come pouring throughout). Unbelievably Good. Bravo Dave and all of you!

What a tone, what technical ability, what thought process, what taste, what humor, what creativity. I guess that covers it all.

Paul Desmond - one word. BRAVO.

Getz Desmond Mulligan... All Masters ... all sound effortless.....

Gli assolo di Mulligan sono sempre particolarmente attraenti.... Brubeck indimenticato!

Genius at work

El diálogo de saxofones entre Gerry y Desmond es toda una obra de arte.

I am not so sure about some of the fashion choices on this one but the musicality is off the charts! I can't get enough of listening to Paul Desmond's tone.

This is when musicians had talent. But Brubeck and Desmond were truly special.

Never seen this before. How blessed we are to be able to see such wonders 47 years after the event!

This has to be one of the greatest Paul Desmond solos of all time--he starts swinging harder and harder, he plays louder, with real aggression but also real joy. And Ilove Brubeck's perfect comping behind him.

first time in a while I felt like clapping during a youtube video :D great Paul Desmond

All I have to say is YES

just unbelievable harmonic chamber jazz orchestra on a paradise level

Paul Desmond, sempre così impeccabile, riesce a pensare l'impensabile, jazzisticamente parlando, assecondato in maniera commovente da Mulligan. E Brubeck, in versione pseudo-frickettona.. Spettacolo puro!

Alan Dawson on drums. Desmond's playing was like gold pouring from a cup.

Paul Emil Breitenfeld. Genius. RIP

Any footage i can find of desmond playing live deserves a thumbs up for the upload. The rest is magic!

I love how Paul’s solo builds on this one. Alan the drummer does a great job of driving things along too.

The interplay between Paul and Gerry, especially at the end, is something that can’t be taught. Two of the best ever. Thanks for sharing.

wow lot of memories i was 6 yry remember stan keton

please beam me back to the 70's!!! those were the most amazing years ever!! these brilliant musicians are the truest example of what the soul of that time was. i feel so grateful to have had them as my formative years!!!!!!!!! bravo!!!

That´s jazz, that´s precision, that´s Dave Brubeck and Friends, that´s two great saxes playing off with one another. Beautiful.

amazing!!!!!!

Marvellous performance, a real joy to watch l won’t see the likes of them again in my lifetime.

Wonderful

Paul Desmond...respect Sir

Paul Desmond's tone is unlike anyone else. Saxophones can create a horrible honk but Paul made it sing with such a beautiful tone. Thanks for posting this.

Mulligan is really respectful waiting a bar or two to come in after Desmond's solo.

Paul Desmond was something else...

These musicians are so talented and it is so soothing to just listen. Close your eyes and it takes me back to the time when I wasn't even born. Anyone who enjoys Cab Calloway and Louis Armstrong knows exactly what I mean.

Treasure. Brilliant.

i agree -one of desmonds greatest...cripes i was starting to levitate i got so high off of it

Nice chemistry between GM & PD, w/solid rhythm of DB et al. ,-- blending & counterpoint & drive!

Ah mazing clip. Thanks so much

and a shout out to Jack Six on bass.... didn't see any comments for him :)

Sublime. Just some of the most lyrical, beautiful and free music you will ever hear. Thanks for this. Great quality too.

This is great! So aggressive in the end.

Artists collaborating on the stage. Magnificent. Rare these days.

These musicians are God's wonder.

The coolest thing about Paul Desmond's playing (besides his tone, which is often flute-like!) is that he uses this concept: he will take a short idea or motif, and then repeat it, keeping the rhythm the same, but changing the notes to fit the new chords of the tune as they arise. One of the ways that this concept can be used is to create tension that is finally released when the soloist stops using that motif (tho this is not what Desmond does here--he creates a momentary tension, but then steps back into his flow of ideas). You can also hear this "repeated motif" concept at 1:24 to 1:38, and quite prominently at 1:54 to 2:03, as he twists and turns that motif. Once you know what this concept sounds like, you will be hearing it in lots of his solos. Happy hunting!

Paul sax., a cool style as usual, effortless, great sounds, and in the rythm of perfect swing...Great applause, standing ovation!

Love all these guys, used to have many of Brubeck's Quartet albums (w/ Wright, Desmond and Morello) and I used to crank up the stereo after class in high school and try to keep up w/Morello on my drum set, LOL, but listening to Gerry Mulligan just stuns me. The way he does those runs makes it sound like a flamenco guitar transcription for baritone sax. Amazing technique. Thanks for posting this gem. Liked and Favorited.

Very sweet

Great sound!!!! These guys are the best!!!!!!!!!!!

The interplay between Paul and Jerry was a matching of genius. Counterpoint to a brilliant extemporizer.

geniuses

Gravação imortalizada

The interplay between Gerry and Paul is like a barock fuge, with the bariton playing the left hand, alto the right hand. This is exactly the right song to showcase their ability of chamber music playing. Genial.

So soficated. and uplifting...Greetings from Ireland

This was the era of fancy dress.

What tremendously exciting music.

Oh my! Is this wonderful or what? It doesn't get any better.

Desmond quotes "Isn't it Romantic" right at the beginning of his solo, using a motif laid out by Mulligan. Nice piece of interplay!

Great!

Paul and Gerry sounds like a perfect icecream.

Now I know I need nothing else for today.

Excepcional apresentação em Newport. Todos excelentes músicos.

Good lord

A majestic rendering of this classic!

Questi sono i pilastri su cui si basano i nostri jazzisti attuali, sono mostri sacri, e vanno ascoltati più volte prima di capirne la profondità, GRANDI !!!!

The three way fugal work at the end is incredible 😊

Gorgeous! Moves me to tears with its beauty.

Amazing performance. Thank you for posting this. For the record I believe that's Jack Six on bass and Alan Dawson on drums.

great great performance. I repeat and repeat this. Somehow, this one got all the elements there- team work, beautiful rhythm, talents, pure joy from the musicians.

Timeless Jazz poetry.You will not find a better and more soulful rendition of this iconic tune.

Intensely beautiful to behold this immense group of talented passion from an earlier age. 2021 and onward must remember this or things will most definitely not end up well. AI? Ha.... good luck copying this chief.

A melhor arranjo dessa música. Perfeita.

Beautiful!

Paul Desmond is Doctor H.C. mouthpiece

Eyes closed.. in the pocket. It’s bittersweet how such a unique and beautiful style of music has faded over time. I would give anything to have been around to see these guys in their prime. What a time it must’ve been to be alive! Thanks for this video it made my day

Аккуратный джаз-ничего лишнего. Классика кула.

damn that piano solo was like bach or something

Musicalidae muito especial do jazz de Brubeck, Desmond e Mulligan.

Here's what happens when the bank manager turns up to play with a jazz band and turns out to be one of the best sax players of all time

I JUST discovered this today on Spotify and cannot stop listening to it! I don’t know anything about Jazz, but this moved my heart ♥️

Bach, Prez, Desmond, Mulligan, Barry Harris -- the great musical poets of their respective generations! I feel so lucky to have heard the last three in person, to have Prez's recordings, and to have grown up listening to Bach.

Masters making something better than love with their instruments

Bravo in 2019!!

The great Alan Dawson on drums! I was lucky to have played with him a lot!

Very cool! wonderful!

the best

Uma aula de harmonia, afinação e talentos. Bravos

All masters. But Brubeck, man! Effortlessly time travels back to the baroque world then reappears in the hear and now.

Fact is the analogue era had truly great sound compared to todays digital productions. No wonder digital emulates! Sounds great from my samsung 50 and you just don't hear any noise.

As a bari player I’ve always gone for a rougher sound, in part because that’s what comes out of my Bobby Dukoff D8 and Yanagisawa B990... perhaps the best investment of my life. While the Harley Davidson sound has its place, I’ve always been envious of the beautiful tones of Mulligan and Desmond. With Stan Getz taking the tenor role... three unique and wonderful musicians from another time. I always get a kick out of Paul’s shoulder wiggles when he plays, almost reminds me of Petula Clark... lol. This is an amazing track and quality is almost surreal for something 50 years ago. Saved to my faves. Maybe I should find me an older rubber bari piece and try and tone down my Yani. And relax. I have a vise grip embouchure I inherited from my dad - a classical clarinetist. I can’t get anything above a high C or D out of my bari with a closed tip... that’s why I went with the Dukoff as a virtual beginner. I’ve become as dependent on my gear as Gerry. Although not as well known......

MARAVILHOSOS MÚSICOS QUE FAZEM MUITA FALTA .

Newport in Belgrade, I was there 71, amezing>>>>

Thanks for sharing! enjoyed this very much -- Gerry Mulligan is the one I am most impressed by -- love the way he digs in a really swings on his solo

its interesting to see how different Desmond sounds with different reeds and or approaches to tone on various videos of him playing live.

Wow! Talk about counterpoint!!!!!

Thinking of My Funny Valentine ..... Then sidetracked. So sweet. I love these guys.
