Do you people see this, DO YOU?
This is incredible, this is a gift & a treat. This is so amazing I dont have words.
THANK YOU to whomever made posting this possible.
This is where the stupid internet & UA-cam become invaluable means with which to behold unbelievable history.
PBS why didnt you safeguard this series better? They indicate some episodes are "lost"? Please let that not be true.
Jazz history. Music history. Black history. World history. Human history.
Nice. Almost as good as Jazz Club: ua-cam.com/video/TebUMhJAKSM/v-deo.html
I want more live videos like this absolutely brilliant 🥰🙏🏿thank u so much for up load making this possible 🤛🏿🙏🏿🥰💪🏿😊truly awesome
All my heroes and heroines in one place in the prime of their talent. This footage is a vital education to what authenticity looks and feels like. Yes, my brothers and sisters, show the children how it's done. Lee Morgan is dead 3 weeks after this was broadcast. Wow. What a blessing.
"I Called Him Morgan" is a fascinating & heartbreaking documentary on the life & death of Lee Morgan.
I thought I saw Helen Morgan in the audience. Anyone know if she was in attendance ?
@@waltgdrums1 ...Helen More wasn't in the audience.

Thanks for posting this, I always enjoyed the live version of 'Angela'; its interesting to hear Lee Morgan playing flugelhorn. It seems to be so much more powerful than the version on 'The Last Sessions' LP, for some reason.
@@Modernjazz1 way more powerful
THANK YOU
I'm relatively new to the internet and I'm 66 years old and have missed so much never having the ways and means to see and hear this before you had no idea what this does for me. I'm practically in tears right now
Phenomenal
Salome Bey (Andy's sister) came out of the Newark, NJ churches and had a long and successful performing career. As this video attests, she was a powerful physical force. She died, as did Horace Silver, from effects of dementia. Last year, Canada issued a Salome Bey postage stamp.
Jaw has literally dropped to the floor. I had absolutely no idea there were live recordings available of music from Horace Silver's Total Response let alone video footage - with Andy Bey and his unique voice to boot. Remarkable!
Seriously...this is a-MAZING footage. The sound, editing, playing, etc. Historic. Thanks so much for posting! (ps: I had the honor of playing with Harold Mabern quite a few times between 1996-2019, including one last gig about three weeks before he passed in 2019.) RIP all of these amazing heroes and masters of this quintessential American art form.
A week later, Silver would return to the studio with this band to lay down tracks for the final leg of his controversial United States of Mind trilogy. The tunes performed at this PBS show are all from the 2nd installment, entitled Total Response, which was recorded about a year previous.
It’s a shame that Horace’s United States Of Mind trilogy was so ill received, I personally LOVE this period of his career.
@@williemakeit2346 Yeah, there are some brutal reviews of that material on Amazon. But Milton Suggs has been touring successfully around those tunes for a while:
MILTON SUGGS QUINTET: HORACE SILVER’S THE UNITED STATES OF MIND
August 26 | 7:30 p.m. & 9:30 p.m.
In his return to Dizzy’s Club, Suggs and his band will perform selections from Horace Silver’s The United States of Mind, a three-album collection from the early 1970s that saw the iconic Silver place a greater emphasis on vocals, soul, and funk. It’s a great songbook for a singing showcase, and Suggs will bring to life Silver’s famous meditations on his physical, mental, and spiritual states as the 1960s gave way to a new era.

Three weeks and three days after this episode of SOUL! on February 19th, 1972, Edward Lee Morgan was murdered by his common-law, Helen Moore. It was a tremendous loss.
Andy still SINGING and sounding GREAT TODAY AT 80+ YEARS OLD!
The great artists that performed on this coveted PBS series…just golden…the 70’s and the streaming of consciousness expressed thru music was beautiful to see some 50 plus years later…
I found out about Bobbi Humphrey through this video. And it is one of most beautiful things that i've ever heard. It even made me want to play the flue. I don't know why, but Sad Bag gives me the same feeling as Duke Jordan and Chet Baker's "No Problem" ,which is a rare and weird feeling I cannot understand. When I listen to them, there is something about some specific notes [No problem 3:45-3:60 // Sad bag 38:58-39:10] that pulls me in and I can't think of anything else except the instruments. Maybe that is why they are special to me because I am usually so overwhelmed by my thoughts. Also I love how the lights slowly just focus on Bobbi Humphrey at the beginning. I wish I could hear this live.
Check out her album from this time 'Blues And Twos' produced by the Mizell brothers.

I remember all these episodes my parents watched this show!
Now that I’m 65 I appreciate viewing, just phenomenal! Man I lost my mind!👊🏾
😂
The Canadian Press: "Singer Salome Bey, known as Canada's first lady of the blues, dies at age 86."
To audiences, singer Salome Bey was billed as Canada's first lady of the blues. But among the Canadian artists she helped nurture, she was better known as "Mother Earth," her demeanour as soulful and sincere as the voice that won her success both in the studio and onstage.
Bey, who began showing signs of dementia in 2004, died August 8, 2020 at the Lakeside Long-Term Care Centre in Toronto, according to the family's publicist. She was 86.
Singer and actor Jackie Richardson, who describes Bey as a mentor and "sister," says her contributions to Canadian culture will live on in both the body of work she leaves behind and the talent she lifted up along the way. "She definitely was an ambassador of what is wonderful and beautiful in our community of artists," Richardson said. "Salome was a bottomless pit of soul, the best in human values and being willing always to be that rock for those that needed a rock. That's Mother Earth."
Dig the words of the vocalist-what he was saying about the food, air and water then are just as true(if not more so)today! In retrospect it seems to be also, very prophetic! Also-you were blessed to have the great Harold Mabern Jr. playing as the pianist in your group back then-and while he was not heralded as greatly as Herbie Hancock, McCoy Tyner, Bill Evans or even Chick Corea back then, in my opinion he was just as great a pianist as all of them...
Also dug Bobbi Humphries' piece also-a nice mellow tune(w/again the great Harold Mabern Jr. on piano-and of course the rest of the band was sounding good also(first time I also ever saw a live performance of bassist Jymie Merritt; he was puttin' it down also...
Salome Bey was just another fine example also, of the numerous excellent Black female vocalists of that generation and time, who, for whatever reason, never made it to the degree a lot of other contemporaries did back then, in terms of the fame that eluded them(though they were just as qualified to have obtained it)...
And last but certainly not least, let us not forget the great Lee Morgan who was sounding in his prime(Billy Harper on sax was killin' it also, on the last tune on this video)throughout this RARE VIDEO FOOTAGE that for many fans of these artists, I believe still remains yet unknown...
P.S.: And as quite as it's kept-these are the fathers and originators(along with a few others)of the music known as "funk"...6-19-22.
too bad they are not very musical and ruin what would have been a great instrumental performance
@@juliosanchez95 That's very funny-ha-ha-ha-ha. 7-6-22.
In an interview about these tunes, Silver commented: "The music came through me, not from me."
I cannot thank you enough for this upload!!
Horace Silver was a fascinating businessman as well as musician. Silver had the foresight to incorporate his music under Ecaroh Inc. to ensure that he was paid whenever other musicians did his / her / their own versions ( Cape Verdean Blues, Serenade to a Soul Sister, et al.) or played off a particular melody ( Steely Dan's 'Rikki Don't Lose that Number' / Song for My Father ).
A few years before his death, Silver did an interview with Downbeat magazine at his home which was on a cliff in Malibu overlooking the Pacific. He was basically retired, and stated that he only went into Los Angeles and performed as either a favor to someone or when he needed something to do.
This transports me back to 1972, more than 50 years ago . . . WOW!
Directed by the great Stan Lathan. This was great!🔥🔥🔥
One of youtubes's greatest offerings
"I Called Him Morgan" (2016 Documentary) the tragic life of Lee Morgan.
Mickey Roker played with Lee Morgan often. Amazing, unsung drummer.
Agreed. Loved his work with Dizzy.
Yes. Mickey Roker is an unsung drummer. Loved him in Lee's Lighthouse 1970 live album. He killed it in The Beehive
Freddie Waits… like Roker also very underrated!
Mike Longo has an excellent album entitled " 9,000 shares of the Blues " it has Mickey on Drums, Randy Brecker on Trumpet, Joe Farrell on Sax and Ron Carter on Bass! Amazing recording well worth picking up!
I personally discovered Mickey on the "San Francisco" album by Harold Land & Bobby Hutcherson's quintet. I must have been 15 at the time, and listened mainly to trash metal. I immediately fell in love with this album and this drummer's playing. It was a sort of gateway to jazz for me. A few years later, slowly but surely, I discovered the brilliant Freddy Waits...then the no less brilliant Nasheet. Thank you, thank you, thank you 1000 times to all these giants for all these moments of complete bliss.
This is an amazing recording of some my favorite jazz artists that I have learned to love over the years. However, it's really so sad how the lyrics of in Horace Silver's song @2:19 are INCREDIBLY RELEVANT today. Wow.
I DONT BELIEVE IT MY IDOL LEE MORGAN IN COLOR!!!!!!
This just brings tears down the face.
Classic episode of this show. I'm a huge fan of Lee, Horace and Bobbie. Good stuff 👌🏽
@ranesesstafford4640 ...Bobbi*
This is incredible, seeing all these people playing live, thanks!
Horace Silver served as pianist on Lee Morgan's first LP, Lee Morgan Indeed! (Blue Note BLP-1538) in 1956 and contributed the tune "Roccus" to the sessions.
What a treat to see and hear this.
Wow, there’s so much to connect with here, I will be thinking all day about these things, and won’t trouble fellow viewers with a long rambling response. Great to see these great musicians in action. I think only Bobbi Humphrey, the Beys, and Billy Harper are still with us. Thank you for finding this and posting it.
Thank you for this concert!
Thanks Jay! Much appreciated... nice to see the whole show!
'When you're able, read the label'. I hear you man!
Andy Bey came to Nashville to perform in the round at the Bluebird Cafe around the turn of the new century. He played the piano and did a lovely version of 'Like a Lover'. It was a treat to see him live since he mostly performs on the East Coast and overseas. I guessed that he was in town recording and took up the Bluebird Cafe proprietor's invite to grace her club with his vocal and piano-playing presence.
And the pleasure was all the audience's that night.
Wow so unbelievable and would love to see some more of this Series😀😀❤️
Horace and THE UNITED STATES OF MIND ! 🙂 Horace made 3 albums under that title, wrote the lyrics and the music, I bought all 3 albums back in the 1970's, they were Beautiful
Everytime I get to experience such classic quality I know there are many more videos yet to explore and enjoy
Thanks for sharing 👊🏾😎👍🏽
Been looking for this vid for a while. Only had pieces of it in B&W. Just seeing now. Thanks for sharing! 🎶🥁🎹🎤😎
Billy Harper the only one (i think) still going strong to this day, one of the greatest composers in the history of jazz.
According to Google, Cecil Bridgewater currently teaches as adjunct faculty at Manhattan School of Music, New School, William Paterson University, and The Juilliard School.
Andy Bey just appeared a few days ago at Dizzy's Club in NYC.
@@Vanguardsman thanks for the info man, great to know that some more of these legends are still going.
Blue Bamboo Music ...Lee, Harold, Jymie and Freddie are no longer with us.
@@Vanguardsman Andy Bey is a living legend. It's incredible that he's still with us, and Experience and Judgment is one of the most underrated albums ever made.
That was/is a great 3 part series. United States of Mind...Total Response... Pursuit of the 27th Man. Brilliant!
The United States of Mind was That Healin' Feelin' (1970), Total Response (1971) and All (1972).
@@tommeggison1466 Yes, thank you.
Silver and the band had first recorded these tunes a year before for the album. Here, both Bey singers add some non-album gospel-inspired flourishes that visibly delight Silver.
Andy Bey and Horace Silver would work together numerous time in the ensuing years but, after the upcoming recording sessions of Feb 14, 1972, Silver never worked again with Salome Bey.
I'd like to see all episodes of this progressive television show from the 70's
You and me both. I'm beginning to think that WNET lost the tapes.
@@Vanguardsman There is a documentary that details the creation & demise of this show. Amazon Prime Video had or has several episodes of this program.
24 episodes from season 1 can be streamed on Crackle.
This video is a jewel. Thank you.
I remember watching this when it first broadcast. The I recall learning that Lee was murdered a few weeks after the airing. I was so distraught, as I was just beginning to explore his music. What a senseless loss. Rest in peace my brother. 🎺
What a relic! I didn't know that Blue Note would air jazz on TV 📺
This was one episode of a program produced by NYC's WNET (channel 13 back in the day) called SOUL!. I was just getting into jazz at the time and I loved this show. Bought Billy Harper's first album because I remembered him from this show.
@@michaelEvans-zo4lt 🔥
Wonderful music, amazing musicians. Many of whom were/are legendary. Speaking of legends, it's sad to think Lee Morgan would be killed within a month of this taping. RIP, Mr. Morgan.
Wow this is part of those legendary PBS Specials and now there thousands of channels and still nothing on TV.
Preach.
@@R0bstar-YT
Lol. I even just bought a brand new TV and they won't even let me watch my cable. They want me to watch Amazon. I just wanted a clear TV. Here I am watching your tube on my phone and enjoying PBS.
Wowwww,,,,,,,,,,,,,these are all the songs I listened to in high school then college. I’m in heaven watching this.
Oh boy! Thanks for uploading this Jay. Sometimes wishes do come true☮️❤️
Recorded January 11, 1972. Lee Morgan died by gunshot on February 19, 1972.
his wife shot him!
This is really beautiful beautiful & uplifting I love this kind of blue note jazz thank u very much for the up load very much appreciated thanking God for musicians like these I would like more of this pls thanks again 🥰🙏🏿
What superb footage. Music for the soul. What a line up.
Thank you Jay Glacy.
Thank you so much !
I remember first buying blue note albums in the 80s and I also was lucky to see Art Blakey and Kenny Burrel live in Edinburgh.
It's so great to see more of these wonderful artists playing, thanks for the upload.
Such prophetic words 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Gobsmackingly rare and brilliant.
Silver, Morgan, Merritt and Harper were all alumni of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers. Silver, of course, was co-leader of the Messengers between 1954 and 1956.
Thank you for the upload, excellent music!
Jay Glacy ...It was originally called THE JAZZ MESSENGERS featuring Kenny Dorham (later replaced by Donald Byrd), trumpet; Hank Mobley, tenor; Horace Silver, piano; Doug Watkins, bass; Art Blakey, drums. Horace Ward Martin Tavares Silver (new Silva) was the quintet's main composer and musical director. Art William Blakey. Sr. took over after the latter left to form his own group.
Wonderful upload!!
GOD GIVEN TALENTS FROM THESE MUSICIANS WATCH & LEARN
I didn't know Lee Morgan also played flugelhorn.
This is great FOOTAGE!
Horace Silver is a treasure.
ANDY BEY !!
SALOME BEY !!
Andy Bey is one of my all time favorites. His sisters are all phenomenal too. I happened to meet Andy about 10 years ago while on line at a falafel spot with my then girlfriend who was also a fan. Mr. Bey seemed delighted that a couple of youngsters like us knew who he was. He was very warm and courteous to us.
I caught sight of Andy once on the train from Manhattan to Newark. Made eye contact and he nodded.
Horace Silver playing an RMI Electra-piano it seems. Makes it work somehow although it has no touch sensitivity.
I had one for a few years. Definitely had to work to play it dynamically like he is here.
In the hands of an ARTIST, ANYTHING will work.
すんげえお宝映像だ！リー・モーガンがサイドワインダーを演奏する映像なんて初めて見た。他にも写真でしか見たことない人達が大挙出演、ちょっと凄いぞこれ！
Questo episodio è da incorniciare.... Lee Morgan, Horace Silver.
My goodness what an assemblage of fierce North Americans. That roll call gave me chills
Amazing quality, considering the year. Pre-PBS.
This show *was* on public television.
Historical and Imperatives.
Lee Morgan was killed in the early hours of February 19, 1972, at Slugs' Saloon, a jazz club in New York City's East Village where his band was performing. Following an altercation between sets, Morgan's common-law wife Helen Moore (a.k.a. Helen Morgan) shot him.
yearrr so amazing !
Great group!
Great line up!
13:24 anyone know who the lady in the audience with the hat & golden necklaces is ?
Richie Resnicoff, who appears here on guitar, was killed by his wife in 2013 by vehicular homicide.
OMG, I had no idea. I really liked Richie as a guitar player. He first came on my radar on those classic Bob James and Hubert Laws albums.
Damn…
LOVE IT
Amazing
Fudge man, seriously? You guys have to leave something for us ah... whites this is Ssssooooo good. Hope all of them are doing well cheers mates
...just... Wow!
Way cool. Must have been about Lee's last gig.
👏🏾👏🏾
Sublime 😎👊✌️💞
great archive, do you happen to have other episodes?
Very tasty music!
Staggering.
Sensacional!!!
No disrespect to Suzi Ormond and Irish dancing, but when it was NET, public television meant something.
Does anybody know who is the drummer in the shadows at the very beginning of the clip?
Always assumed it to be Freddie Waits.
I don't think so, doesn't really sound like him and the body language is different.@@Vanguardsman
A mystery to be solved. 🤔
This my birthday 1/26 ♒️♒️♒️
Reportedly, Lee Morgan's common-law wife Helen Moore was in the audience for this filming.
I saw her in the front row, and thought from the time of this program's airing 26 January 1972 to her murdering him 19 February 72 was about three weeks. Lee looked skinny, perhaps it was the dope, but his playing was superb. His last recording was either the 18th or 19th of February 1972 on Charles Earland's Intensity album. Earland covered Chicago's "Happy Because I'm Going Home." Lee Morgan fronted a brass section that included a young Jon Faddis. He plays inspired on this project, like he knew this would be his last.
Lee was always skinny. In footage of him as a 20 yr old pre-dope, you can see he was always skinny.

Unlike today's entertainment industry with cookie cutter music, horrible artist who can't hold a note without auto tunes, this is so eloquent from the intro to the music,stage setting and artist. What the hell happen.
Wow... I came across this by accident. WOW, whatever happened to MUSIC??
Music is dead, sad to say....ELITES ONLY!
Owooo! 🐺
Lee Morgan sidewinder should've been longer 😡🥰🙏🏿
Fonly.
Hiya jay Clancy send me more live blue note sessions pls thank u
grace à eux les aliens ne détruiront pas la terre ! que dieu les bénisse !
The sound quality of this is not good.
Says you
For a television broadcast on WNET / PBS / Channel 13 from 1972....Its fantastic sound.
Fastastico
Legendary musicians obviously, but that first Horace Silver tune was awful! The drummer looked embarrassed as he was playing and listening to the "lyrics" 😁.
I love it! Loved everything about it... even the RMI piano has a charm!
I dug it lol. But then again, I love to hear Andy Bey sing just about anything.
