- Gary Valente's stunning raucous trombone work featured in Carla Bley's Band soloing in "Hallelujah tha Lord is listening to yah!" recorded live I think at the Roundhouse in England--early 80s?? Go them Bb blues scales!
This is just the best! I first heard it in 1988 and it has stayed a favourite ever since. Gary and Carla for ever.
Heard this yesterday on Radio 4 and it stopped me in my tracks.
I want this to be played at my funeral
5:54 "mamma's little baby loves shortnen shortnen, mammas little baby loves shortnen bread". MAGNIFICENT STATEMENT OF LOVE AND HUMILITY IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD.
a friend, at his party paused the music, said to me duke , i think you will like this, and he played this track, that was somewhere back in the 70's 80's everybody was blown away, especially myself. lost touch, with both for years, but the trombone piece haunted me since first hearing it .. luck has it I found my old friends number asked him the title in an instant ,replied GARY VALENTE found it on UA-cam thanks GARY , MARTIN, (the friend) and youtube
Trombone All-Powerfull
Thanks ! Great Gary Valente
Le plus puissant solo de tous les temps et pourtant si simple !
Heard this for the first time yesterday on Jazz 24 - call the doctor! Thanks for the post.
Perfect song for 2020
I watched this and recorded it when it was broadcast on tele many years ago. Since lost the recording, and so happy to find it here. One of the great pieces of music.
A great track this - I first heard it on Humph's jazz record programme around 1987 and I never grow tired of it.
Humph loved it and played it many times....
A real treat to see and hear this version
PIECE OF ART
I also taped this way back in the 80's and it takes me back to blasting it out on my Trombone in my classroom on a summer Saturday waiting for the school fete to start when the deputy head walked in on me, was about to let rip, then thought better of it :)
heart rending with precious memories of the great trombonist sandy axon
I LOVE this solo this is my favorite solo E.V.E.R - SOOOOOOO THANKS!

I also heard it on Radio 4! Since bought the record. What a fabulous piece of music
Wow....heard this while in my car ...thank you Rainier Ave. Radio in Seattle!
a true genius
I taped this from an Alexis Korner show in the early 80s (?) and just rediscovered it today thanks to a borrowed tape player and now your crisper recording. Thanks for uploading it. Years rolling back.....:-)
Una maravillosa banda, admiro a madame Bley. Siempre se dió el gusto de hacer su música.
Hacer su música (y qué música tan hermosa y heterodoxa!), armar sus bandas de formidables interpretes (hasta grandes bandas!) así como hacer maravillosos arreglos musicales y dirigirlas, tocar piano, órgano, teclados, cantar, hacer uso del fino humor que la caracterizaba. Todo eso siendo mujer desde los años '60 es todo una genialidad y proeza. Que ¡Viva la música de Carla Bley!
Absolutely stunning> The late and very great Humph played this regularly on his Best of Jazz series.
Niiiiiiiice Garryyyyyyyyyyyyy
Lady C , the Lord heard yah
Hey, Rob Rakaia, I too had this on a cassette tape from the late Alexis Korner's 80's Sunday radio show...the tape now long gone...but UA-cam comes to the rescue!

Profonde musique.
My God, is that a young Kenney Walleson on drums!?!
That is my late friend, the great D. Sharpe.
Kenny Wolleson. Yeah I was wondering too but he pro would have been younger.
D. Sharpe (1947-87) played on several Carla Bley albums and tours around this time. She also wrote "I Hate to Sing" for him. He was a rare drummer who was in demand for traditional swing-to-bebop jazz (Illinois Jacquet hired him, for example), modern and avant-garde jazz (Carla Bley, Michael Mantler, Tony Dagradi, Jon Damian, etc.) and pre-punk, no wave, punk, etc. (Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers, the AlphaBettys, subbing with various punk bands in Boston). His own band, The D. Sharpe Group, , which played regularly at the 1369 in Cambridge, featured Gary Valente-trombone, Bill Frisell or Wayne Krantz-guitar, John Lockwood-bass, and Taylor McLean-perc. There's an obit by Bob Moses in Modern Drummer, July 1987 p. 96/98 here www.moderndrummer.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/md92cs.pdf and I'll post the text of his Boston Globe obit below, can't find a link.
"Jazz Drummer D. Sharpe is Mourned" Ernie Santosuosso, Boston Globe, January 23, 1987, p. 55
The national jazz scene mourned the death last Friday of D. Sharpe, one of the most active drummers in Greater Boston clubs. Only 39 when he succumbed to pneumonia in New York, Sharpe, who was born in New Jersey, leaves an impressive list of credentials amassed within a very active career. His highest level of visibility was related to his membership in the Carla Bley Band from 1978-83. A versatile musician, he also had recorded with Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers. He was conversant in jazz, dixieland, rock and funk but his favorite music form was jazz and in his capacity as a jazz artist performed in major international jazz festivals. He also had performed on three albums with the Bley aggregation. He had also appeared with Gary Valente, Bill Frissell, Gray Sargent, Marshall Wood, Whit Browne, Phil Wilson and many others.
He was named Davey in honor of the famed big band drummer Davey Tough and his first drum teacher was his father, William Sharpe, who had made many USO tours with comedian Bob Hope. Among Sharpe's other instructors were Alan Dawson. Sharpe himself taught at the Farr Academy in Cambridge and at the Community Music Center and played drums in the Zion Fire Baptized Holiness Church for two years. A music score he composed for the motion picture "Yours for the Taking" earned him several prestigious awards. A memorial program is being planned by Dan O'Brien at one of the local clubs sometime next month.
Here's some D. Sharpe music: ua-cam.com/video/cxi1f3POK1s/v-deo.html
excelente
Carla Bley looks like she should be a replicant in Blade Runner.
Yes! You’re completely correct, she’s a Darryl Hannah Replicant 🕺🏻(one of the best films of that era).
@@robertgoodale362 ahem - Who is who's replicant ???
RIP Carla 😥
G Factor...
Herrlich wie Carla Bley hier die Orgel gurgeln und Steve Swallow die Gitarre ploppen lässt. Passt wie die Faust aufs Auge zu der schmetternden Posaune.
Where is the remainder of this concert please?
Did you have the full concert as a single video please?
Is anywhere the whole concert available? On video or cd ?
It’s on a CD, Carla Bley Live
@HarringtonMan me too
oh man...all that HAIR!!!
I think it's a wig she stole from a drag queen. 😂
36 years late to the party!
This is absolutely major; no blues scales (in the melody)

Who is on Piano, Tenor and Drums please?
I think it's Kenney Walleson on drums!
@@Lanearndt I have not heard of him?
Personnel is same or close to this album: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live!_(Carla_Bley_album) Arturo O'Farrill-piano, D. Sharpe-drums. (See more info on my late friend D. Sharpe I posted above. I also know Kenny Wollesen, who was about 14-16 years old at this time! It's not him. I saw this band several times, and have played and recorded with both drummers.)
@@jazzprof56 Thanks, it's a very good concert. I don't own the audio to the recording in the Wiki link.
Dreadful sound, thats not worship,but showmanship, the Emperors cloth!!!!
Hermann Otto dude, wtf are you talking about? That’s some of the most soulful trombone playing I’ve ever heard.
How on earth can you criticize a virtuoso???!!!
????
With all (un)due respect you are the embodiment of the problem with religious people in the world everywhere!!
It’s not meant to be worship. Your god has closed your ears to human expression at its best,- or most likely your just ignorant.
