@@thekeygod9810 -Thank you so much for your courteous reply. If you enjoy them, I will happily recommend some more, but, please remember, "one man's meat is another ones poison". Regards.
Sonny's improvisatory explorations are beyond genius....he is more spontaneous and free and yet he is also one of the few masters like Monk who never abandoned the melody during his solos. Sonny took tunes like this and especially the tune "Three Little Words" and played them more times than anyone who ever lived and yet, he displays fresh new ideas each time no matter how many times he has played that song. An absolute improvisational master and saxophone giant. (A colossal one). Of course, Alan Dawson and N.H.O.P. are both masters and are truly amazing as Sonny's accompanists. Alan is way too underrated in the music world.
At Northeastern in Boston, I took a couple of lessons from lan at Berklee. I thought Buddy Rich had fast hand, but Alan was exceptional. What a great person!!! @@thekeygod9810
The world was so different then, Sonny had been a beacon of jazz genius and integrity for a decade, and along with Coltrane gave us all enough so that we should be still digesting and admiring his gifts even now (in 2020). THIS IS HIGH ART.
So wonderful to see Alan Dawson in action. There is not a lot of video of this great drummer. Of course, the whole video is a joy. I don’t understand these people who go around hitting the thumbs down on great performances like this.
I highly recommend Alan Dawson playing Take Five with Dave Brubeck and Gerry Mulligan in Berlin in 1972. He substitutes for Joe Morello and does a magnificent solo - see ua-cam.com/video/1tbSyrmXo60/v-deo.html.
Thank You, Rolling Sun, for guiding us poor souls groping in t he darkness, for giving us strength to go on to our deliverance. A bow to Your gurus too
I love these kind of trio's horn bass n' drums. Sonny and Allan are in state of pure Zen. So relaxed and powerful. The Bass is nasty. Sonny really stretches out without a piano. Man he blew me away on this performance. In the moment improvisation at it's best! He's still here and boping!😎
These guys make it all seem so easy. Surely, even non jazz fans could hardly fail to nbe impressed by such talent. Have bookmarked this and pplay it regularly. Aren't we lucky to have in whenever we need a little real music. Regards from England.
Awesome playing all around. Sonny was at the height of his creativity here, NHOP's solo is fantastic as is Alan Dawson's. I don't know why he never got his due because he was a true master.
I would say Sonny was at his best in the late-Fifties, but still very good in '65. Dawson is on a ton of recording sessions, so he is pretty well known.
Remember my Dad (who was a drummer and public school band director for years) coming back from a summer camp with his older students. Telling me all about Alan Dawson. This would have been in the late 1960's or early 70's. My dream was to get to Boston area to study with him when I got older, alas was not meant to be....I studied his approach to the kit as much as I could. Even thou I never got to met him in person, he had a very big influence on my playing.
Listen to Dawson's bass drum especially during the solo! Amazingly powerful and dynamically smooth and Beautiful. The doubles between the r foot n' snare Tom's (sometimes HH)
There used to be a great concert he did with Brubeck where he played a maraca in his right hand instead of a drumstick as a ride on the hi hat and across the set. That was brilliant. That should be up on UA-cam. Peace, Mike. He was a player-not just a teacher.
He did stuff like that on his records too, at least moving around with the bell, and it creates a sort of "phasing" effect. Always loved that. Joe Henderson got that too sometimes.
Such a fun, spirited, spiritual, swinging and exciting period for Newk. So fortunate to have theses videos- ty for upload, snd whomever had the foresight to- record them!
The Danish bass player, NHØP (Niels Henning Ørsted Pedersen), was 19 years old when this was recorded in the concert hall of the Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen (Denmark). The drummer is Alan Dawson. As far as I know, the three men had not even had a rehearsal.
Sounded to me like nhop went into his walking out of his solo kind of early, maybe feeling the pressure to create. Nice how Sonny started adding some background tones to flesh it out out a bit. NHOP solid though young.
He plays good, but, sorry, not that level of those legends. He shouldn't be alowed to play with masters just because of mutherfucking rules of fucking TV.
Getting a chance to play with more experienced colleagues helps young talents mature, and Mr. Rollins’ decision to give the 19 year old a chance at his Copenhagen concert was not influenced by the TV broadcaster. Dexter Gordon spoke highly of NHØP in letters he wrote to friends at the time, and Ben Webster and Bud Powell also said they enjoyed working with the teenager. However, I do not have the time to look up those texts right now - so suffice to quote what Oscar Peterson wrote about a more mature NHØP in his 2002 autobiography, A Jazz Odyssey: “Niels Pedersen is the type of player whose talents on his instrument are such that he is almost unaware of what he does. His virtuosity on the bass surpasses anyone else that I have known. His melodic sense is impeccable, his choice of harmonic sequences is a pure delight to play with, and his time is flawless … He is now arguably the most inventive bassist in jazz.” When given a choice, pianists as different as George Shearing and Michel Petrucciani also asked for NHØP to accompany them. And, by the way, on top of his facility on bass NHØP, an autodidact, was a decent human being, tolerant & appreciative of others, firm but polite, highly intelligent, and quite erudite (particularly in the field of history).
yeah I mean I can HEAR the changes in everything they play, that's what separates the men from the boys in jazz. I'm a pianist and saxophonist and the lack of a chordal instrument is what makes this amazing to me, they improv over every change, never play the head once and if you know the song you can hear it all. nothing but greatness.
Quite superb. 3 extremely talented musicians who gelled brilliantly. I have been a jazz lover all my life and really do appreciate this. Thank you so much. Have bookmarked this for regular future visits.
First time I heard A longer solo from Alan Dawson. Wow. Really kept the overall theme going, while playing interesting variations, swinging hard, with super smooth chops and an obvious economy of motion around the set. No wonder the Bigs sought him out as a teacher.
5:52 Sonny quotes "Them There Eyes" Simply incredible communication through the horn; during the trading with Alan he's literally taking the figures he's playing and translating it on the saxophone
MEN at work. Three masters, each with their own distinctive sound signature, in an epic colloquy on a jazz standard Sonny Rollins' has staked an irrefutable claim to-- transforming it into something iconic and breathtakingly personal. Anyone miss the piano? I didn't think so.
I'm going to state the obvious: Sonny Rollins was born to play the tenor sax, and we are privileged to hear it.
Attire
It doesn't work the other way round.
lOVED JAZZZALL MY LIFE AND AT AGE 83, STIL ENJOYING IT AS MUCH AS EVER. THANK YOU SO MUCH THIS. sORRY ABOUT CAPITAL LETTERS,
May you please share some other songs like this with me?

When I studied with Alan in 1976 he said Sonny Rollins was his favorite person to play with. It shows! Thanks. RIP!

There Will Never Be Another You, indeed, Sonny

Alan Dawson has to be one of the very most understated drummers in any category. Stylish, ergonomic, and oh so punctual.
Wow I thought I was the only person that felt this way , you should check out his work with Coltrane !
@@thekeygod9810 where can I find Dawsons work with Coltrane?

I also recommend the footage of Bill Evans, Lee Konitz, NHØP, and Alan Dawson in Copenhagen 1965 if you haven't seen it.
What a dream rhythm section: NHOP and Alan Dawson. Heaven.
Niels was a truely great bassist. Great groove.
Amazing bass solo! The young bass players should listen to every morning the great N.H.Ø.P
Hey man who was playing the bass on this one ?
Craaazy that he was 19 or 20 when this was recorded
Happy 90th birthday to Sonny Rollins, Sept 7, 2020.
man.. Alan Dawson's swing is truly second to none.. love it!
Alan Dawson is incredibly underrated. The phrasing in his trading is so fun to listen to, it never gets old.
I could listen to hours of Sonny playing 4s with Alan Dawson. Happy Birthday, Mr. Sonny Rollins!
whatever song sonny plays sounds like he wrote it incredible!
Yeah his flow is so flawless it’s scary
Thank You, Rolling Sun, for guiding us poor souls groping in t he darkness,
for giving us strength to go on to our deliverance. A bow to Your gurus too
The great Alan Dawson on drums.
N.H.Ø.P is the most wonderful cat, besides how crazy good he is on the bass his fat TONE is amazing. Beautiful.
Dawson! What a match with Sonny. Powerful.
Really beautiful playing the three of them. Alan is so masterful here! clear and fluid... just amazing, delightful
Great living improviser? G.O.A.T. !!!! The baddest man on the planet .......and amazingly, one of the nicest ...

This a big dude make it look like a Alto saxophone
they are vibin' here and that bass solo is worth it's weight in gold!

I would say Sonny was at his best in the late-Fifties, but still very good in '65. Dawson is on a ton of recording sessions, so he is pretty well known.
I got 7minutes into the track and half way through the comments before I realized there wasn't a piano player. Rollins et al. really kill on this
yeah, man. who needs a piano player anyhow.
same
Sonny best there is at 4hrs…so creative
One of the tenor giants.
Rollin's restatement and invention upon the melody of the tune, so fucking brilliant... !
Fantastic drum solo!
Alan Dawson, che meraviglia di batterista! tecnica fantasia musicalita! Best!
My Lord that is sweet,,,,love the drum solo
I must say, this is easily my favorite version of this tune.
Alan Dawson was my drum teacher
That is incredible. He was one of the all time teachers. Rudimental Ritual. Geez. Played with Brushes!
I've been to his clinics , a Master
Amazing like Tony. Luck you! Did you run through his rudimental warm ups regularly?
Remember my Dad (who was a drummer and public school band director for years) coming back from a summer camp with his older students. Telling me all about Alan Dawson. This would have been in the late 1960's or early 70's.

Even thou I never got to met him in person, he had a very big influence on my playing.
that's awesome - the Richard Davis/Alan Dawson rhythm-machine is a great team!
That bass player held it down for the piano never noticed he was missing
What piano? Rollins didn't work with them very often. Monk being one exception.
god d! that section cooks ! yowza!
Listen to Dawson's bass drum especially during the solo! Amazingly powerful and dynamically smooth and Beautiful. The doubles between the r foot n' snare Tom's (sometimes HH)
Denmark is jazz heaven. They sound so good with Sonny.
Young NHØP (Niels-Henning Ø P) in 1964 with Sonny Rollins in CPH, I was there! (The"old" 78yrs today 2021) It was cool man!
Sonny's trio playing is his best work in my opinion. W/O the burden of a chordal instrument he really flys!!!
wow. it takes a damn good bassist to nail it like that. chapeau.
There used to be a great concert he did with Brubeck where he played a maraca in his right hand instead of a drumstick as a ride on the hi hat and across the set. That was brilliant. That should be up on UA-cam. Peace, Mike. He was a player-not just a teacher.
I like the Sonny controlled his dynamics by moving around the microphone.
He did stuff like that on his records too, at least moving around with the bell, and it creates a sort of "phasing" effect. Always loved that. Joe Henderson got that too sometimes.
En fantastisk koncert. Har aldrig glemt denne store oplevelse.
Such a fun, spirited, spiritual, swinging and exciting period for Newk. So fortunate to have theses videos- ty for upload, snd whomever had the foresight to- record them!
Oh my goodness They are cookin BIG TIME!
yes sir Mr. Rollins! He defies being bound by the beat!

too bad he totally lost the form during the trading 4s
and the spirit of the Lord came on Sonny Rollins
Of course Sonny and Niels are top-notch, but my oh my, Alan Dawson sure is awesome That drumsolo was next level.
Folks! Dig that young cat on bass Niels Henning Ørsted Pedersen (the dane) I heard/saw him in CPH in the mid 60's, allready then he was great
one of the best drum solos I've ever heard
Oooowwwwwwwww... What a triioooo....beyond beautiful, thanks God
waoou, what a great quality sound!! that bass, killer!!
John Bresnik You don't see it often because it is very hard to make it sound good, and Sonny is definitely one of the best at it.
yeah I mean I can HEAR the changes in everything they play, that's what separates the men from the boys in jazz.

Three maestros. Sublime. It doesn't get better than this--and just think, NHOP was still a teenager here!
So,so fine!
This trio is pure dope, unadulterated.
Quite superb. 3 extremely talented musicians who gelled brilliantly. I have been a jazz lover all my life and really do appreciate this. Thank you so much. Have bookmarked this for regular future visits.
I'm still visiting regularly, a go to trio performance 🔥
probably the best jazz bass player of all time...
I saw Rollins live. What was it like? Like ice cream on a sunny summer day.
First time I heard A longer solo from Alan Dawson. Wow. Really kept the overall theme going, while playing interesting variations, swinging hard, with super smooth chops and an obvious economy of motion around the set.
No wonder the Bigs sought him out as a teacher.
WOW! What a phenomenal posting! Such smooth, melodic playing by all. And wonderful footage of Alan Dawson!
Unmatched..anywhere, anytime..any universe!!
Holy Crap! The bass solo is amazing! And Alan Dawson is fantastic!
this is kickass. what a trio
The greatest of all times . I'm holding my own 86 years young . A jazz fan all my life . Love 💘 it or leave it.
5:52 Sonny quotes "Them There Eyes"
Simply incredible communication through the horn; during the trading with Alan he's literally taking the figures he's playing and translating it on the saxophone
There are no mistake s ... Silly sax love from Tucson Arizona Sonoran desert. Praises Africa
Alan Dawson is a monster - Great video.
There could never be another way to play it any better.
Great Sonny doesn't get any better than this what's not to like, must have perfect ears no holes.
Very esence of jazz drumming in this single clip...
One of saxophone ' s original voices.
So great!!!!!
Best performance of Sonny Rollins I know
He's just so cool ...
One of the coolest things ever made
Another masterpiece!
And this is why I love Jazz
Great thenks
There will never be another NHOP!
This is just a masterpiece
Un grande del saxo tenor!

Incredible drummer!
What a Trio. All Great Musician.♫♪ ♫♪ I Love It. ♥ Thanks.
Giants do still walk the earth.
THAT DRUM SOLO!
Sonny is so powerful.
man young nhop was truly a different animal...
his swing feel at 19 playing those lines is just insane
also that line at 9:02 to 9:09 mindblowing
Where my heart is!
MEN at work.

Anyone miss the piano? I didn't think so.
Who the hell are the 7 people who clicked thumbs down on this video? They better not have had ears.
Marcus Cornelius Aurelius
like a person who has never studied math opening a calculus book and saying “it’s nothing but gibberish. I don’t like it”
Mr. Rollins love the way you have always make great things happen, what a phenomenal trio 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thanks for sharing this great performance
Fantastic.
What a groove...fantastic...
