@@jusin5482 Oh hell yes! Wynton Kelly Trio as a whole propelled many soloists to greatness - they are THE sound of late 50's early 60 's jazz, in my opinion.
This is insane that this was documented - a big chunk of this band's music is on the CD "Miles Davis & John Coltrane - The Final Tour"; Coltrane had quit the band to lead his own group, but Miles had already booked this tour, and begged Trane to come, and Trane acquiesced; Trane was apparently miserable to be there, did not speak to anyone in the band pretty much the whole time, and much to Miles' chagrin, just practiced his soprano on the bus the whole time as they drove from city to city !

In 1960, with all that was going on, these cats were making excellent music and killing it with style and superior musicianship. Thanks for sharing fellows.
Lucky you ! On a related note, one of the BIGGEST regrets in my life is ... in 2010, i was in NYC for 10 days or so. Sonny Rollins ( arguably my all time favourite jazz musician ) was performing at the Beacon theatre .... and I didnt know... hadnt occured to me to check his schedule before showing up in NYC ! If only I had checked ahead and bought a ticket ..... :( : :(
There is always someone that wants to complain about thumbs down. Who cares ! Jazz is a complex music, and so many don't understand it.WHAT THE HELL IS THAT ?" "THAT'S CRAZY MUSIC !" "THAT'S NERVOUS MUSIC" That's what I heard over the years. I understand, Jazz is not for every one. I've been around the block a 1000 times, nothing is new to me. I'm 79.
Dan Celli Thank you so much for your feedback. I think I understand so much better now from your explanation. It’s just hard for someone who worships such brilliant music and that has such few moments documented. I’ll try to be more understanding in the future. Take good care my friend!
Such a privilege to hear, especially, Wynton Kelly. After the first wave of neo-bop pianists appeared (many, sadly, already gone), I continued to admire the techniqe, the faciity--and at any tempo--of a large number of young pianiss. But Wyn Kelly's.struggle brought with it the sound of accomplishment, of coherence, of swing, and sbove all of melodic inventivenes.. He plays and every note has a purpose. Rhythmically and harmonically, he's in control of the solo from beginning to end, alwaya the most melodic. keeper of the flame. After he died, I dived deeper into Bill, Monty and Ahmad.
The first rhythm section I fell in love with...Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers, and Jimmy Cobb. Highly recommend checking them out backing Wes Montgomery (+Johnny Griffin) on the album "Full House" recorded at Tsubo in Berkeley (1962). Trane..what can you say?
I'm sure that John dislike this highlighting of himself. He was such a decent and fine friendly person, you have to be, in order to produce such tremendeous art! To be a bit humble is the crown of each genious showing the deepness of a transcendantly enriched soul, praying his experience of the worlds nature !
Do yourself a big favor and find Coltrane playing with Stan Getz and Oscar Peterson on Hackensack. They also play a 3 ballad medley that starts with Wynton playing piano on Autumn Leaves. These were all recorded the same day and can be found on UA-cam. What a wonderful documentation - thank the Germans. Same black background - great job on the audio as well as the visual. We are so lucky to have these!
Yes, Cobb was one of the premier artists who graced many recordings and influenced many musicians in the annals of jazz. Rest In Peace, Jimmy! You are gone but never to be forgotten.
Actually Bill had left by this point. He had left before the Kind of Blue album but agreed to play on it since Miles had planned the album around Evans's sound. Wynton was Miles's new pianist by this point and in order to not leave him out Miles featured him on the track "Freddie Freeloader".
Cannonball & Trane in your band alone is mind blowing. Two of the biggest influences on their instruments. Their vocabularies are unparalleled!! Everyone else in the band is royalty as well, but Coltrane & Cannonball is just.....WOW!! #MDDIII #greatestbandleaderever
@@kevinguillaume7895 And the fact that Trane and Cannonball have an entire album with just them and this rhythm section playing off of each other is even more insane! Not enough people know about Cannonball & Coltrane (or the album's original name The Cannonball Adderley Quintet in Chicago)
Unbelievable how Jimmy Cobb propels the groove while staying understated with the comping... his quarter pulse vs traditional swing on 2&4 must’ve been revolutionary. In jazz history I don’t recall a jazz drummer in the 50’s who swung from a propulsive quarter note like him. And then he’s got this beautiful crisp comping that often emphasizes 2 and 4 with his left hand or the kick. He’s super clean! It’s scary what Jimmy Cobb can do. He swings hard but his feel is different than the past. Another cool thing is he doesn’t mind just leaning on the cymbal for a very long time and not comping much. He’s a master at simple. He doesn’t feel a need to fill every 4 or 8 bars. He’s very disciplined. That live set with miles davis Live at the Blackhawk is great Jimmy Cobb. And I can hear from his playing that the great Lewis Nash must’ve checked out Jimmy’s playing extensively. Nash’s ride cymbal beat sounds similar to Cobb’s. That’s not an easy task!
@Kent Byron Great, spot on observations, Kent. You made me want to go back and give those neglected Blackhawk sides another listen. I've got the 4-CD "Complete" set.
SO great to hear Trane play with Miles' "middle" rhythm section. I think Miles' "middle quintet"(with Hank Mobley, Wynton Kelly, and Paul Chambers) gets overlooked and underrated. Great to hear Trane play in a quartet with this PRISTINE group. Great stuff!
C'est pendant cette tournée de mars 1960 que Coltrane sera hué par le public de l' Olympia à Paris. Sa musique devient de plus en plus originale et "extrême". Encore plus provocante d'ailleurs sur la scène de l' Olympia. Il utilise encore plus ce son crié, déchiré qu'il utilise avec parcimonie ici. En novembre 1961, ce sera avec son propre groupe et Eric Dolphy que viendra jouer Coltrane.
Unfortunately, Jimmy Cobb just died recently. One of the smoothest cats on drums. The sextet with Mile Davis, Coltrane, Cnnonball, Bill Evans, Cobb, and Paul Chambers was probably the best 6 I ever saw. Everyone of them was superior in all aspects.
On a personal note, Jimmy was once married to a woman named Eleana Steinberg who was very much responsible for getting Miles to come out of hiding and start recording again briefly in 1978 She was also once married to keyboardist Richard Tee and was in a long relationship with saxophonist David Liebman. I had never heard of her until around a year ago. I had always assumed Cicely Tyson was the woman who saved Miles. She tells the story of her involvement with Miles here: thelastmiles.com/interviews-eleana-steinberg-tee/
Like you, Mark, I love this music...but different strokes for different folks. I suggest allowing people their taste. Hell, I stayed married to a woman who likes Lionel Richie for 13 years!
good ol' Wynton Kelly was still there. He did not live very long, dying in 1971 at 39 years old after an epileptic seizure. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wynton_Kelly
@@porterhall27 It's a great tragedy that these musicians didn't live to continue to push their music further. At least we can be thankful that they left us with so much beautiful music in the short time they were here
All swingin' in a better place now, RIP Jimmy Cobb. Baddest drummer in the baddest rhythm section ever!

This sounds so hip it‘s hard to believe that it‘s almost 60 years old
I get a kick out of Vivaldi, who might be even longer ago.
That happens with universal art form
Thank you! Wynton Kelly at his very best, and the piano is even in tune.
that rhythm section is on fire son

I was lucky to see this group live with Miles in San Francisco, 1959 at the Black Hawk in the afternoon. Cobb is till around.
You are more than lucky !

there's nobody who plays with
such a light-hearted swing like Wynton Kelly
I must have re-played this a 100 times - need to transcribe and play it on a Steinway someday :)
He.s my favourite piano player.On this he really reminds me of Bud Powell.
This as good as it gets. 60 years old and cool as heck. Wynton blows my mind.
So cool to watch his fingers. Really helped me a lot

Rest in Peace Mr Cobb.
What a jazz group!
CLASSIC. Exquisite rendition of Jazz music.
Thank you
Wynton is sick !!!
Stole the show for sure!
My fav of all time, so good. Often plays just slightly behind the beat, love him.
Outrageous, is more like it...
Sooo good.

It is unbelievable-I think one clip only anywhere of Wynton and Brownie.
This Quartet was the Post MILES DAVIS SEXTET era. Wynton Kelly & Bill Evans took turns on the Piano with MILES, TRANE, CANNONBALL, & CHAMBERS.
