I was most fortunate to have met Dizzy back stage at a show in the southern city of Bengaluru, in India. It was hosted by USIS a great pipeline of musicians visting culturally. A fun loving guy🙏🙏🙏
I'm so glad I saw Dizzy around 1980 in San Jose, Calif. I was really close to him. He blew me away with his ability to carry notes so long and fast still. He looked like a chipmunk with his cheeks inflated like balloons. Truly a legend.
Good to hear, thank you. Diz was great in person, of course. I saw him in San Diego, 1988. His United Nations Orchestra. I went to the stage entrance afterwards, hoping maybe I would see him. He did come out for a while, and talked with the few of us there! I got his autograph... to this day with his picture, hanging on my living room wall.
This is terrific! I started as a late 60s/early 70s rock guy but came to be a big fan of jazz, especially but not limited to the 40s to 60s period. One of my earliest encounters was seeing Ray Brown on TV backing Ella Fitzgerald and really liking the tone of his bass. Ten and a couple of years later I got to meet Ray Brown Jr. while I was in a band with a drummer who'd previously played with him and Ray Jr. came by to visit his former bandmate in Missoula, Montana where we were playing at the time. Wonderful to have programs like this readily available.
Thanks Ben!!! Its a dream come true getting these 70s concerts of the giants... thats what I love most about Pablo label in the 70s... getting the giants together for one reason... JAM!!!
I love the music, great talent all around. Agree with parts of the "preaching" during the breaks. Dizzy Gillespie's Be-Bop Reunion - 1975 records the Talent of the Musicians, and gives some insight into the personality of Mr. G. It is worth watching in it's entirety. I enjoyed it and appreciate Bebop more.
The "Gods" have assembled! Very nice thank you! Love the hilarious scat at minute 32 and the Dizzy band old clips at 37, as well as the Divines SV and DG as well as MJ etc. What fun and 'raw' and refined musicality the musicians then had....and with such character.
Long before smooth jazz existed, -- all this rugged, rough, and tumble authentic honest, virtuoso improvisational --expression of the human condition.... --and you?
I saw this on what I suspect was its original broadcast, near Christmas of 1975, and have intermittently longed for it ever since. Just registered with Google for the sole purpose (so far) of saying Thank You --for producing the program in the first place as well as for leaving a copy here. Is there a stereo version anywhere I can buy? Gods, they were all having a wonderful day! Mine just improved a whole lot as well!
As good a lineup of Beboppers as you could assemble in 1975! I can handle the leisure jackets, big collars and Dizzy's earth shoes when the music is this good!
DarkPoetik53 ...Birks was a great trumpeter. He's was the very first modern jazz trumpeter. Birks was a great composer, technician, arranger, band leader, time keeper and entertainer, PERIOD!!!
A big salute, and a token of comprehension to those 15 who did not like this video. In my coutry we use to say: "...all unanimity is dumb". Long live Dizzy, Bags, Al, Klook, Ray, and James.
All the below replies are wrong: If you research it, Dizzy never formally learned how to play trumpet-- You're not supposed to puff your cheeks out, supposed to keep them tight, but he never learned that. Self-taught musicians often have quirks like that. (Another example: Wes Montgomery playing everything with his thumb-- NOBODY teaches guitar that way-- but evidently it didn't matter, did it?)
James Moody, tearing it up on Alto Sax, versatile, plays Tenor and Soprano. I used to have great stuff like this on vinyl....Boy they sure suffered, having to make due with acoustic instruments, and no electricity, DJs scratching other folks recordings.....What a cultural degeneration, Justin Bieber, and Miley Cyrus, DJ Nothing....
Im blown away by this ! Kenny Clarke was an expatriate after blazing the trail along with Charlie Parker. My first year college just getting into jazz and Freddie Hubbard was my trumpet man. I knew who Dizzy was but didn't really listen to him. Everybody knows his signature tune Tunísia. If I had seen this I might have quit playing! Intimidating as heck.
Interviewer: What does it take to make a great trumpet player?....Got any notion? Dizzy Gillespie.....Well....the first thing is to be a master shit detector.
So awesome to see Al Haig play live, he is the most underrated jazz pianist there ever was. So sad how little music he recorded after 1960.
Thanks to you and this vid for introducing me to an incredible pianist.
@@jamesrobert4106 Glad you enjoy his music!
@@DaGhost141 He is superb. They are ALL superb.

Thanks for the track list thing
@@asellape9270 agreed, I was struck by Ray Brown's driving power on this one as much as much or more than much earlier recordings
Yes, this is Classical American Music, called Jazz.

I got to see him in 80 also! In Seattle at Parnell's.

Great concert, great people, great dialogue from Diz... thank you so much for posting!
Ray Brown is the star of the show here. Also nice to hear Al Haig, who seemed to disappear early in his career, but as seen here, didn’t.

ray brown keeping it all together with ease and harmony, milt jackson always full of soul and melody
Always good to see The Divine One / Gillespie together, since they started out together in that great bebop group, The Billy Eckstine Orchestra.
That's right,Lila. Together again after all these 30 years.A miracle!
Any relation to jughead Ms Ammons?
Sarah is always a pleasure to hear😄!

Bebop: what happens when a group of artists' skill and ability grow to exceed the limits of their medium

Nice beginning. Jeezzz.
Outstanding !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thanks a lot, ben sidran. this is great music. all the best
The bebop era didn't last very long.However. It's effect on jazz remains to this day
True, although this concert was also swing and trad-jazz, as well as bebop.
Honestly the bebop era never died.

Was it really awesome?
Головокружительный спел "Сольт пенатс",этого уже достаточно было обалдеть от такой величины.как Диззи Гиллеспи и от Рэя Брауна,тоже!!!
Just brilliant!
woow i remember sound stage, way back...
Amen to Bop Jazz ! ! !
As good a lineup of Beboppers as you could assemble in 1975! I can handle the leisure jackets, big collars and Dizzy's earth shoes when the music is this good!
Sarah really improvised, never showing off, no need for velocity, always the smarty classy Sassy.
Dizzy was a good trumpeter and a great entertainer....
DarkPoetik53 ...Birks was a great trumpeter. He's was the very first modern jazz trumpeter. Birks was a great composer, technician, arranger, band leader, time keeper and entertainer, PERIOD!!!
@@brucescott4261 all a matter of opinion...id rather listen to miles
@@darkpoetik5375 ...Go ahead! "No Dizzy?" "No Miles!" - Miles Davis
RAY BROWN,,TOCAS BIEN EL BAJO.....MUY BIEN
Claro, por algo le llamaban Mr.Contrabajo...tienes gracia tío.
Sin duda.

The real Masters!
Thank you.
¡Muchas gracias Ben!
"SALT PEANUTS" Amazing!!!
Maria Jones Einstein albert
Albert einsten
Its sounds like he is saying, "Soft Penis Soft Penis"
yes, but Bird was missing!
Dizzy's eye roll got me! ahha!
Diz's cheeks puff up like that cause he's storing up jazz for the winter. Now you know. ;- )
thanks!
Thank you for sharing this Ben... BTW have some of your work at the house.... :)
Ray brown the best

Long live Dizzy, Bags, Al, Klook, Ray, and James.
No, Nelson Rodrigues used to say it. In my country.
Love this soooo much
This is my type of music :-)
Awesome ..!!!
Dizzy ....Great work thx for ,,ALL''
Love their versions of "Birks Works" and "Salt Peanuts" on this. Wonder if there's any audio recordings of this performance as well?
Yes, there is.
Go Milt!!!!! Salt Peanuts!
초반 베이스 리듬에 맞춰 장면 편집한 거 진짜 미친 정성...
디지 길레스피 연주 컬러 버전을 유튜브에서 공짜로 볼 수 있는 세상 너무 좋다.
37:22 담배 기깔나게 피는 생생한 디지 길레스피
The Jazz standard Nardis is Sidran’s name backwards!
Those cheeks! Kills me every time!
Just quite nice!
Marvelous...
Ray Brown gives a bass lesson. Wow!
Nice music!
Joe Caroll is the Man !!
these be da heavies
The sounds of a *Free* America with _some_ growing pains.
"goobers"
These cats who lay down a "dislike" are either angry or bitter or goofing This group makes it!
Una Obra Maestra de concierto.
Delicious!!!
Old Times, Good Times...
31:17 so great :3

Yeah
why is Dizzy Gillespie's cheek really big when he is playing
The better to blow with!
ik
DG is really the big bad wolf. Sarah Vaughn is Little Red Vocal Hood, and the entire jam was done in Grandma's basement beneath Mt. Rushmore.
Circular breathing... When the lungs are empty there's air in the cheeks

It's too bad they didn't get a better recording of the bass, sound-wise.
