The shadow of your smile is perhaps one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've heard to date. Just amazing.

@leanmchungry4735 7 ай бұрын

Yusef had a mental block announcing the name of the composer of The shadow of your smile, after announcing the song was written after the death of the composer's wife. It looks like the bass player told Yusef it was written by Henry Mancini. The music was actually written by Johnny Mandel for the film Sandpiper.

Someone in the crowd even shouts out "Johnny Mandel!". Forgive the group, Tootie was dripping buckets and Mr. Lateef was out of breath after that blistering run!

Pas un Français dans le quartet mais ils commencent par " Frère Jacques ". Ca fait plaisir. 🙂

The expression of calm on Kenny Drew's face at 6:40 with that blistering solo. Great playing all around. Great energy.

The third number is called "Yusef's Mood" and the final theme under band introduction was "Delilah" written by Victor Young. Thanks for sharing this wonderful concert!

Hello vova47, I had a question about your opinions on nhops playing as I have noticed your comments on a number of videos where he is featured. Altough on a particular video you seemed to be very against the idea that he is the greatest bassist of all time. While I too agree that he isn’t the very GREATEST of all time I certainly think that he incredible. What do you make of him as someone obviously acquainted with his playing.

Thanks for sharing these wonderful moments. I saw him at Ronnies in London around 1967. I can remember the room fell to silence, he was a great musician and very inventive at the time. Brilliant!!!!!

Saw him around 1996, when Amherst declared Yusuf Lateef day and he performed with Von Freeman. Met him in the bathroom before that at Umass in 1986. He was Doctor Lateef- a professor of education there.

I’m sorry that’s all I know. The book was a flutist friend’s I saw in the 80s. He studied classical flute with a student of Rampal’s and jazz with Phil Woods teacher, and Shepp.

The song has nothing whatever to do with Mancini, young or old. Johnny Mandel wrote it.

Right, Johnny Mandel wrote the song. Henry Mancini was just one of the many that recorded it.

I first heard the Shadow of Your Smile around 1968 at Sahara Tahoe casino. I think the Sandpiper had just come out around then. Maybe Kenny didn't know it.

I love Yusef to life, but he struggles with the melody of this composition. Nothing to do with his tone or sound. He misses the notes of the melody for some reason or another. The timing isn't his usual perfection that lends tho his incomparable interpretation of a tune. Nice mysterious undertone but not Yusef's most productive effort. Great support and lovely arrangement. Drew and Nels are the most fantastic back up I've been listening to Dr. Lateef for over 60 years, he's the most complete musician in the same order of Coltrane, Miles and that caliber of musician. Yusef,Great technician and master musician.

"The Shadow of Your Smile" has nothing to do with Henry Mancini or his wife (dead or alive). The song is a Love Theme from a film "Sandpiper" and is written by the great Johnny Mandel. The ignorance of some (that well known jazz musicians) is incredible!! Can you imagine any classical musician not knowing a composer whose piece they're about to perform in concert?☹Sad!!
