Everyone likes to meme about the lick since it's so prominent in this piece specifically, but this is probably my favourite ever use of it. Brubeck really brings out the best of the phrase through all the variations, he makes it seem almost touching and symbolic of something much greater. A fantastic example of how to use a recurring motif in jazz. Utter genius.
@@stangetz534 Hard to say.. Most attribute it to Stravinsky, because he is the earliest recordings of it publicly.. But it likely came from Classical origins that rubbed off into the Jazz and bebop playing of the 20's and 30's and became instrumental in bebop jazz language from then on..
Lick body what? That is the seed of the melody and the theme used for developing, that is present in every good piece of music, from any music ever written, to the Beethoven 5th Symphony, any other symphony, any concerto, to Brubeck's 40 days. Only music ignoramuses use the word "lick", when there was already a better one used centuries before the idiots who use word "lick"were born.
I am 44 years old and have felt like I haven't been truly moved by a piece of music in probably 20 years. I am hearing this for the first time tonight and that dry streak is now broken.
@@jayluvonde9551 I know it’s trite but probably it would be OK computer the entire album. With paranoid android and exit music for a film being standouts for me. But really that whole period of the early 90s was a great time in music in my opinion.
This isn't just the best version of The Licc, it's one of the best pieces and performances of jazz music ever written or played. When future historians or aliens want to know the epitome of jazz, they should watch this video.
This is both the hardest and easiest song to play on Bass.. lol... OMG i struggle with it so much! Its because they are all playing different rhythms at the same time and its so easy to go off course or lose pace. Its truly incredible. And its so bizarre how the bass line comes in and out of rhythm with the song. Its incredible and genius.
Mr. Brubeck was commissioned to complete a jazz Mass in 1980. He converted/joined the Catholic Church at the completion of the project. Many U.S. cities have churches that have gospel / jazz Masses. In San Diego - Christ the King @8:30am, St. Brigid's in L.A., Our Lady of Guadalupe and Int'l Shrine of St. Jude's in New Orleans, St. James in Las Vegas @ 11am... there are many more...
There are millions of musical variations in jazz. It;'s the most flexible and versatile kind of music in the world. Each person who becomes competent in musicianship has something different to offer. Hence the tremendous versatility in this glorious music called jazz.
Wonderfully phrased. I see an example of this in The Consouls - they use video games music as their jazz standards to great effect and they acknowledge the greats in many of their tunes, exposing a new generation to the wonders of jazz. A taste: ua-cam.com/video/TRFagVi0sBw/v-deo.html
Yeah, very dynamic. As someone who started with heavy electronica, I appreciate it very much. This bassline reminds me of speed garage or maybe atmospherric drum and bass.
@@Supakumo interesting that you interpret this song like that.. I don't think of it like a mission, I feel like it's more of a crisis that needs to be averted within 40 days to make things gone wrong return to normal
This gave me chills and goosebumps all over nearing the end and I know I’m late to the game in music but it’s never too late to start listening to great music. I’m envious of the audience who were able to feel the music in person
After listening D. B. Q. for the first time I am not able to listen any other music..I always come back to DBQ! It is The Real Art, each music piece is The Masterpiece! So nostalgic, so magical!
SIMPLESMENTE FANTÁSTICO!!!! E É COISAS ASSIM , O QUE FAZ A GENTE TER ORGULHO DE PERTENCER A RAÇA HUMANA!!! E É IMPRESSIONANTE QUANDO ELES TERMINAM A MÚSICA JUNTOS, NO MESMO EXATO MOMENTO! SEM OLHAR UM PARA O OUTRO!!! SINCRONIZAÇÃO TOTAL DE ALMAS... DE ESPÍRITOS!!!
One thing Ilike is that if you listen to this on loop, it sounds like the audience starts clapping for them, then once it loops, it goes to the beginning where they finish clapping, then the song starts. So it sounds like they played the song, the audience clap, then they do an encore and play it again for them.
@@leomoore3597 oh no, Desmond and Parker were like two peas in a pod at a point in time, but Desmond really did make his own way. I will say Some of the chromaticisms Desmond plays definitely has Parker influence though.
@@lennyappleton2840 Parker did not invent chromaticism. Chromaticism is a Classical idea, as old as the tonal approach to composition. Jazz is the continuation of the Classical tonal approach. But regarding the two players, they are two opposites. Even Parker's timing and Desmond's timing have nothing in common, and when timing is different, everything is different.
4:00 to ending, I am speechless I had to check my temperature I thought I had a fever because I got the chills….. man that did not make any sense I listen to it 3 times and it was phenomenal
I'm addicted to this but also to The Consouls (quartet) - they use video games music as jazz standards and I enjoy the music with my kids. I'm sure Brubeck would approve of the exploration. A taste: ua-cam.com/video/qEoBMvJLrsU/v-deo.html
It's nearly considered snobby to expect a high standard of musicianship when you go to see a show these days. If you're on stage I think you should have something to give to the audience, unlike most local shows I see today which are like beginner acoustic guitar players, and I often wonder "how did you get on this stage?"
@@Vigilante311 INDEED ! I agree ! Music has died! It's all to do w/ music educations & the industry ! Music educations in U.S.is almost the same as none compared to U.K., Britain ,Japan & Europe ! 💜💜💜🥁🎵🐉🎤🎶💞😢
This is truly sublime but I think we should give the young ones a chance. These clever boys take video games music as their 'standards' and do wondrous things with it, especially if you compare it to the original. Thus a new generation of listeners learns about the joys of jazz. A taste: ua-cam.com/video/qEoBMvJLrsU/v-deo.html and the original ua-cam.com/video/QDLG1bosqtg/v-deo.html
@Lilith does stuff I've tried and believe me , I could not find so much, I like several genres but I'd prefer to stay with the classic ones as they are much more better than today's music...as of now I keep on listening old stuff, actual music sucks.
This piece was arranged by Clarence Morris and interpreted by a 9-member ensemble from Tropical Angel Harps Steel Orchestra in 2001 for an album entitled 'Sweet Melodies'. It aptly demonstrates the versatility of the steelpan, the most significant acoustic instrument of the 20th century invented on the island of Trinidad, West Indies.
Thank you for that recommendation which I thoroughly enjoyed. I believe that the creativity of humans is a reflection of our Creator God and certainly music can be divine. On a tangent but following the thread of versatility and odd-metre time signatures, might I recommend The Consouls who turn video games music into jazz gems.

Bravo pour ce faux concert et merci aux Stranglers. Dave Brubeck joue e réalité Take Five dans cette vidéo. Le son de Golden Brown a été ajouté en 2020. Belle version quand même !

Great example of how it’s not the lock that’s the problem it’s how you play it.
A style very few can compare,i feel like a snake and they are my charmer,they make you move in such a way with eyes closed and taken away.
@@clarenicola1 where did this 'lick" come from not Charlie Parker.
@@stangetz534 Hard to say.. Most attribute it to Stravinsky, because he is the earliest recordings of it publicly.. But it likely came from Classical origins that rubbed off into the Jazz and bebop playing of the 20's and 30's and became instrumental in bebop jazz language from then on..

That’s the most beautiful version of “the lick” that I’ve ever heard.
Hahaha that's exactly what I thought too 😂
who is this lick attributed to?
Lick body what? That is the seed of the melody and the theme used for developing, that is present in every good piece of music, from any music ever written, to the Beethoven 5th Symphony, any other symphony, any concerto, to Brubeck's 40 days.
Only music ignoramuses use the word "lick", when there was already a better one used centuries before the idiots who use word "lick"were born.
0:08 Brubeck really was ahead of his time, he even played the L I C C
That should have been their seventh album with 'time' in the title - 'Ahead of Time'
I don't get it can someone tell what LICC is.
@@ym6294 a musical cliche

@@anigbrowl Thanks.
listen carefully, you can hear that someone even laughed in the audience

I am 44 years old and have felt like I haven't been truly moved by a piece of music in probably 20 years. I am hearing this for the first time tonight and that dry streak is now broken.
😊
So what was the last piece that truly moved you?
@@jayluvonde9551 I know it’s trite but probably it would be OK computer the entire album. With paranoid android and exit music for a film being standouts for me. But really that whole period of the early 90s was a great time in music in my opinion.
@@dkny02138 Paranoid Android was amazing- although the video a little unsettling. Radiohead were one of my favourite bands.
This video highlights UA-cam's lack of a "loop" button. Like, just play this all day long, every day, nonstop.
Should’ve called this piece ‘Lollipop’ because it has so many licks 😂 x
Oh gosh, I laughed so hard at this.
Its true, it got plenty of licks, but it's still one of the best compositions of all time.
One of my favorite Brubeck 🎵
still funny as hell
Goosebumps all the time, Desmond is superb, ...and Joe Morello- aka Blues Brother scratching his nape at the very end!
Great and the spirit of Brubeck.
Verliefd geworden op jazz door deze mannen, bedanken kan niet.RIP.
This is a spiritual piece - ah, there are no words to describe this music. I haven't heard this piece in decades. It is as magical now as then.
Amen
This is exactly what I was going to say. This piece speaks to your very soul.
Poëzie,.........
@@EllaGijsberta 40 days like Jésus in the desert !
Perfect
Thanks to Rick Beato I came down here to rediscover Dave Brubeck and Paul Desmond. I had forgotten how great they were...
Awe inspiring solo form Paul Desmond. I never tire of listening to it.
Definitely! Paul Desmond was particularly inspired that day. The way he TALKS to us is amazing
What a wonderful solo by Paul Desmond - and he knew it!
This isn't just the best version of The Licc, it's one of the best pieces and performances of jazz music ever written or played. When future historians or aliens want to know the epitome of jazz, they should watch this video.

If aliens ever came and wanted to destroy us.. I think we could play some Brubeck and it might give them pause.
For me that is the most beautiful performances of this piece.
Among the many versions of this piece, this is the greatest!
Absolutely gorgeous piano and sax solo, so much better than the studio version. Also the rhythm is incredible intriguing.
@@roguebuddha mooooohhhaa ua-cam.com/video/RllyiiNCmqQ/v-deo.html
Yes
무슨 말인지 알 것 같아요. 특히 폴 데스몬드 연주의 섬세함이 두드러지는데 그게 또 이 곡을 너무 잘 표현한 것 같은 ..리듬, 강약조절...먼가 대서사시 영화음악 같은 느낌!
Dave Brubeck was a genius! His knowledge of scales is incomprehensible.

Wow! If I visit the U.S I might visit those parishes. I've never been to a jazz Mass. That would be cool! 🎶 🎉
Masterpiece, 40 days in 6:29 minutes; just like god in genesis!
This is my fav kind of jazz
Charles C. LICC
i guess that is the Cool jazz, not the Bebop jazz, its more relaxed.
This is the best kind of jazz.
This spiritual feel is something hard to define. Mesmerizing. Perfect Quartet
This was LIVE. Absolutely incredible.
Brubeck plays chords better than most people can breathe!
Paul Desmond, Damn, that solo is soul killer
The best version of 40 days.
Это просто шедевральная музыка! Бездонное вдохновение!!!
Paul Desmonds improv is made me high,and i dont even use drugs
Jazz, baby.
Now just IMAGINE yourself on LSD
What if I told you improv was a drug
Buen aporte.....nada de drogas
something magical is going on here
Incredible, time does not pass for the great works of men...this piece is one of the most beautiful works of the quartet
I heard many versions of this piece... this live gives it's best expression. Glad to be born after Dave composed it..
one of the most beautiful solo's ive ever heard
Imagine sparking a joint with Putin and listening to this , and you start riffing over it in freestyle. Magnifique!
Blues Brothers on a mission from God to make music for heaven.

Masterpiece!!
To qualify the quartet, I need only a single adjective: terrific!
It gives me goosebumps. This is a true masterpiece.
Wow Paul what a smooth warm soud.
It may not be featured as much or be as creative, but that bass part really completes this piece imo
Yeah, very dynamic. As someone who started with heavy electronica, I appreciate it very much. This bassline reminds me of speed garage or maybe atmospherric drum and bass.
The bass is the thread that really holds it all together.
Yes. With the bass, suddenly someone is on an important mission.
