*_Check the description for the track listing and personnel._*

I’ve been in this concert as a student in Berlin. It began at 11 pm. I’ll never forget it: it’s part of my life…: “Take five” at midnight

I haven't heard Gerry & Paul (2 of the Greatest of JAZZ-SAX) in a long time. Love the Way KZfaq resurrects these genuine "American Greats".

Love that Desmond is still wearing a suit and tie. Respect!

These men are all dead. What a treasure to have this with video. Utterly amazing. We don't have talent like this today.

The standard of jazz perfection...they made their mark in the music history archives.

WOW... listen to "Blessed Are The Poor" has a kind of "therapeutic" effect on me... the Power of the Music !

Saw these guys in Detroit that year. All icons in their own right. Had breakfast with Dave once...long story.

Wie entspannt Paul Desmond spielt. Seinen spezifischen Klang erkennt man sofort. Sehr gute Filmaufnahme des Konzerts, als hätte ein Regisseur das alles perfekt zusammengeschnitten...

I love the part it "All the Things You Are" where they go into counterpoint.

Klimat muzyki jazzowej jest dla mnie jak wdychanie aromatu lasu podczas spaceru. 🎷🎹🎺🥁

This group is full of the legends of Jazz. I never saw Brubeck play with such energy, and enthusiasm .

If this was recorded in 1972, its absolutely amazing. I never saw such quality from 1970ies recordings.

paul desmond, pura poesía

When you’re a genius improviser you don’t need to think what to play, you just talk effortlessly , as simple as breathing, walking or dancing together with your best friends!

Seeing (and Hearing!) Alan Dawson in this setting is so great. A real player and craftsman. I mean, listen to his time and soloing! When it comes to real playing he was one of the Greats.

all Masters on their respective instruments ....love Desmond

Questa si che è musica... anzi questa è arte pura!

absolutely no words, a deep sigh, great....

Dave Brubeck is a legend!!

Mexican bean jump:41.00 to 47.00: this excately why I like Dave Brubeck so much: like a locomotive ramming the piano. What a drive.

Paul Desmond is a true GOD of alto sax !

How Many Times have I seen and heard these incredible '5'..Let me count the ways...Going way back to the '50's & 60's. from there on at various venous through out their fabulous careers. Live jive sessions mostly at California jazz joints. The start of West Coast sound,which sounded for so many a years. Brubeck serviced in the Army during World War 2. There is story of Dave Brubeck touring with an Army Wolf Pack Band during the war. There is on the internet an article of Brubeck's time while yet in unforme when he began his musical career ,touring time in Europe during the war entertaining the troops,not with military sounds of the days popular music.Go ahead on...look it up!..

Now this is the kind of jazz I grew up with in the clubs of Montreal in the early & mid seventies

THREE OF THE GREATEST MODERN JAZZ PLAYERS......MARVELLOUS ALBUM......THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE DOWNLOAD.........

The talent in this performance is unreal! A brilliant show

The difference between the dress in this video versus the '64/'66 Jazz icons DVD is awesome.

Five people who have the harmony on the top level to have the perfect gift, when is JAZZ. Thanks all of you.

Art lives! This was 52 years ago, at this time. All are gone, but the beat.

In Sign Off, Mulligan around the 50;37 mark, absolutely kills me, can't listen enough of it

I was born in 1940. Don't know why I never heard of this album. Excuse is kids were born in '69 and'72 and had a lot of new stuff going on. Thanks for posting. It's 1 Am and I know I will listen to end. Probably close to 2. Need my zzzs but to good to listen to later.

Touchdown, we are on the landing strip, the Jazz eruptions like bellowing into the Night!

Brubeck's first solo of the the concert was mindblowing!

I got to see them in Central Park during the summer jazz concert back in the early 1970 and right after the concert they headed to. Boston MA.

Sublime and scintillating jazz legendary trio riveting and a revelation Gerry Mulligan, Paul Desmond and the incomparable Dave Brubeck.

fantastic elastic enterprise. wise ways plays on sax. maximum impact of peacemakers of music. for mind waves. hello. hi o

Jazz legends. Wunderbar!

Legendary Drummer ALAN DAWSON from Boston's Berklee School has turned out some of the worlds finest drummers.

I love Mr Brubeck is a master in jazz that beat for me made cool eternity to end.

What a superb line-up and what great music, those of us who heard it first time round are even luckier to be able to hear it again.

One of the best moments at the spacetime!

I don't find words to express my gratitude to you and to these great musicians.

Paul and Geru(this is how Miles Davis called him) are two of a kind!

I started out on alto in Jr. High and the first time I heard "Take 5" I wanted to be Paul Desmond. I switched to bari in high school and the first time I heard "Song for Strayhorn", I wanted to be Gerry Mulligan. So to hear them both together: It's like being in a threesome with your high school and college sweethearts. Mulligan's wife donated his instruments to the Smithsonian to send on tour with info about his career. I saw them in DC at the library of Congress, of all places. I was so close to getting locked up on God knows what charges, but it was just me and his gold-plated bari in a glass case, calling to me; saying "Come, my love: we can finally be together!" But since I wasn't picking up the soap for anybody, I got out of that room and went upstairs to the copyright office to copyright my music and get out of there!

line for lyons one of the beautifulest melody of jazz

take the A train, conocí por medio de los Rolling Stones, del disco Still Life de los 80. En la intro sonaba esta cancion y me llamo la atención, y desde ese descubrimiento quede inmerso en este mundo.... Saludos a todos

It's very good jazz.... C'est du très très bon jazz !

Wow, that’s a great bass solo in the first cut !

Unreal how smooth Gerry mulligan and Paul Desmond are.

the drum solo is fantastic!!!!

La grande classe. Paul Desmond est un magicien.

Три кита от которых JAZZ ещё долго будет подписываться! СИЛА!!!

Amazing!!!! ❤

Jazz gods at play

This video is a historical document, Wonderful thank you Gerry, Paul

To play as they did under those hot lights is testimony of a dedicated group of all-stars performing at their best under less than optimal conditions. What a performance especially on “All the things you are,” a favorite of mine!

Brubeck put the gate!!! Damnnnn!!!

Le saxe de Mulligan une merveille

Thanks so much for posting ! A real pleasure to hear again. This same group toured Australia where I was thrilled to hear them 45 years ago!

I am amazed by how high the recording and filming quality is especially since this is from 1972. We can see and hear everything fantastically. Those German audio engineers and filmmakers (I wish they were credited) did a fantastic job capturing this fantastic live performance.

Say what you will, but I think this group really brought out the best in Brubeck. I have seen so many videos of him playing that I've lost count, but playing with Jack and Alan gave him a rhythm section that was able to go with whatever crazy energy was flowing in Brubeck's veins. When he really started hammering the keys, they just played harder and harder and the whole group was incredibly alive. Don't get me wrong; the classic quartet had some amazing qualities too and a lot of incredible music wouldn't have happened without them, but I think Brubeck had some form of musical chemistry with Alan and Jack that no other group seemed to feature. Adding Gerry was already an ingenious move, but the soloist that Dave really shined with was Paul. I think, as a soloist, Gerry and Dave had similar ways of acting. They were constantly going "out there", while Paul had a restrained, composed and almost withdrawn approach. He was soft, gentle and incredibly witty as a soloist, while every other player in this group had a very wild side. I guess the wildness and raw energy surrounding Desmond made him go for some fresh ideas, which is kinda obvious especially during Sign Off. I have decided to hunt for every album by this group (minus Desmond, sadly) that I can find. I have two already and they're among my favourite jazz records ever.

Faszinierend... Fascinating.

Una verdadera constelación de estrellas brillando con todo su potencial artistico en este concierto inolvidable. Agradezco mucho esta colosal publicación. Lo mismo a KZfaq por permitirla. ❤

Мой папа который не так давно покинул этот мир, всегда любил и слушал джаз, даже в советское время когда он был запрещён, в 60 70 годах и до наших дней до 2018г. Осталось много пластинок, бабины только размагнителись. Мне джаз сразу понравился ещё в пять лет, и вот уже 35 лет как я слушаю джаз и буду его слушать всю жизнь. А всем джазменам и всем кто слушает джаз желаю крепкого здоровья счастья любви и долгих лет жизни.

Paul Desmond (and Johnny Hodges for that matter ) has the most beautiful tone on alto sax

espectacular trio de ases +++

GREAT, for certain!

grand merci pour ce document .

who requires pills/doctors/etc, when we have BRUBECK for health and happiness what more would any want, just BRUBECK absolutely right just dear dear Dave; bless you Dave

TEŞEKKÜRLER, So Beatiful, Thanks from legends.

I have driven Mr. Brubeck multiple times as a Limo driver...as we chatted in the car about jazz,i learned much about classic jazz...

The bit at 8:45! I see your double time and I raise you... haha freakin cool.

Thank you for the video !!!

WOW! Che bello..incantevole ! ✨ Thank you very much!

Thanks for posting!

INDIMENTICABILI ,GRANDE MUSICA!!!!

Formidável

Fascinating that a good musical performance can cause so much pleasure

Excellent !!!!

Dave Brubeck at 22:08 blows my mind

This is a documentary not a concert, There was a time with real musicians playing on stage !

As evidenced in this video, somewhere between about 1967 - 1970 something crazy happened in the minds of fashion designers and hairstylists. I mean, look at Dave Brubeck's hair and outfit. Within the space of less than 5 years he went from black suit/skinny tie and tidy barbershop trim to a crazy mix of patterns, flares and a shaggy mane. Someone should write a thesis on it, seriously. I guess it's all traceable back to the explosion of the drug culture, it just permeated everything it seems.

Many thanks for this wonderful post. Most entertaining jazz concert . I really enjoyed it Dave Brubeck really drives this quartet ,outstanding performance by everybody .

Jack Six!!!!! what a monster!!!!

MITICI !!!

Bravo!!!

Whoa...some sweet stuff. Looks like those camera spots were wreaking havoc on the musicians....pretty hot on stage for a Nov. concert!

Thank. You. The best

Vielen Dank für dieses Video !! Ihre Musik ist "cool" wie Steve McQueen und zeitlos wie Mozart.

Alan Dawson is a great drummer. He solo on Take Five is sublime.
