- Gerry Mulligan, Art Farmer, Lee Konitz), The tentet also included Rob McConnell on valve trombone, Mike Mossman (who took some pointed solos) on trumpet, Ken Soderblum on saxophone and clarinet, Bob Routch on French horn, Ted Rosenthal on piano, Dean Johnson on bass and Ron Vincent on drums
Wow!!!!
So beautiful.
Thanks
It's interesting that Joan Chamorro published this video of famous American jazz masters. I always thought that Mr. Chamorro had great admiration for American jazz. I also believe that many American jazz players, both current and past, would be pleased with the teaching and great accomplishments we can attribute to Mr. Chamorro. His Sant Andreu Jazz Band is now known and admired worldwide.
this tune puts a smile on my face
one of my favorite standards
Just WONDERFUL!!! With this vídeo, just one have a visual document to appreciate how was the birth of Cool...Thank you very much for sharing!!!
Awesome Jeru reenacting his initial performance with Miles, Lee & the other Cats of the Tentet 1949-50!
Thank you Ron Vincent [ronvin1] for your fine tasty drum work on this date. You’d make Max proud. And thanks for letting us know that it was the 1992 tour.
Ron - Terrific playing...thanks for the music
Ron
🎼Thanks for posting 💕✌️🎷
A jazz landmark by Gil Evans and Miles Davis from the birth of the Cool.
Gracias 😊
Gerry Mulligan looks like my science teacher lol
A wonderful video, thank u, Joan! The fact that the piece was composed by Miles adds to the pleasure.
It was composed by Gil Evans
Cleo Henry was Miles's mother. Miles and Gil used her name because Miles wanted to use a different publishing house than the one he was contractually obligated to at the time the tune was written.
Immortality is a condition that very few achieve. The musicians involved in the project that would be latter known as Miles Davi's "The Birth of the Cool" , in 1949-51, are true Jazz immortals. Gerry Mulligan and Lee Konitz were then in their 20's, and these recordings were milestones in their future high profile, history making, many decades career. If you don't know "The Birth of the Cool", hurry up!!
I am happy to have the book by Ashley Kahn " Kind of Blue" with the Miles' disk enclosed and foreward by Jimmy Cobb/
This is so great!
Heavenly......
Boplicity was actually written by Gil Evans and Miles together - I forget the reason they had to use the pseudonym Cleo Henry. The classic arrangement is by none other than the great Gil Evans.
Cleo Henry is Miles' mother.
Definitely has the sound of Gil Evans
Du jazz sur M6, le monde à bien changer !
I wish someone would post a video breaking down all the individual parts. I've been trying to break down the parts by ear but it's not working.
I love the Mulligan Tentette. Absolutely great sound as are all Mulligan groups, large or small. But the reproduction of this rendering is not the best by any means. Sounds very much off-key on my mobile!!!
@agmart100 You do realize when Miles wrote this composition and the circumstances of the time musically, right? Maybe this rendition was slower than Miles' original tempo, but I still feel the perpetuity of the tune. And the phrasing is similar considering that many of the same musicians of that original cut are here in this video. So what am I missing, what wasn't proper? No argument, just curious.
a whole flotilla of brass just to emulate a song that only had about 6 pieces? never the less very nice,elegent. a right lot of seasoned fellows too.
Great song, but hard. I played it myself so I can tell.
A quelle époque M6 était une bonne chaîne ?
Tellement !
Wonderful music but one problem! Our small group sounds awful compared to the perfection of these giants of jazz.
Gerry mulligan misses a whole bar at the end of his solo in this tune. Am I going mad or what. The head should be two, eight bar 'A' sections. In the second 'A' he only plays 7 bars. Everyone else covers for him very well, and this tune is slightly unusual in its structure, but c'mon... He's the leader of this band. Should be nailing that surely. Nice track though.
...shit happens.
James Stewart No, he doesn't. Are we talking about 1:35? He plays the correct form.
Gerry Mulligan was a famous jazz musician for very good reason - one of the greats. While the only James Stewart I've heard of was an actor and not a great jazz musician. I don't really hear what you're talking about. Even if he made a mistake, so what. I suppose you've never made a mistake on a gig that you were leader of - that's why James Stewart is a household name in jazz (or maybe not - I should have said cinema)
