Chère Nathalie, votre glorieux papa est selon moi, le plus grand contrebassiste français de tous les temps et très probablement un des meilleurs mondiaux. Vous pouvez être très fière de son oeuvre. Quel groove, quel swing !! En dépit de son grand âge, continue-t-il à jouer ? Bien cordialement. Gérard

Cette vidéo est vraiment remarquable. Merci de l'avoir mise en ligne. Pour beaucoup, le talent de Gainsbourg ne se limite qu'à des albums comme "Love on the Beat" ou "You're under Arrest". Bien que précurseur, Gainsbourg vient du jazz et cette vidéo est un véritable petit bijou !
@Koliopter Je crois qu'on est tous d'accord que cette version est moins bien que celle de Charlie Parker etc. , mais là n'est pas la question... Ce video est un vrai bijou. Voir Gainsbourg en train de jouer des vieux standards, c'est enorme. En plus, il a sa facon tout propre à lui d'interpreter ce morceau, qui est chouette..
Gainsbourg était un bon pianiste...mais un GRAND ARTISTE! Elek baksic était un grand guitarriste et n'oublions pas à la contrebasse Michel Gaudry. Le bassiste aussi oublié lors de la présentation aux capucines en 1963 pour les amateurs avertis...Gainsbourg forever!
0:53-0:58 are great. love the way he hits that bass note and then the phrasing over "i'll know that moment divine" are so nice for a guy who isin't a virtuoso. Just a very musical guy.
If I had passed by that bar and heard the music, I would have popped right in, sat down, had a beer and wondered if it would be possible for me to sit in for a jam...
@JazzyGiord The problem with knowing too much about one thing (music on its technical side) is that it sometimes makes us forget that it is not all there is. This piece, including the video itself, shines for very different reasons that can't be find by someone who only listens. Enjoy.
I found this on wikipedia: "The beboppers introduced two favourite devices into performances of this tune, which are still sometimes encountered in performance: one is a brief introduction and conclusion that parodies Rachmaninoff's prelude op. 3 no.2; the other is an interpolation of the donkey's song from Ferde Grofe's Grand Canyon Suite."
Merci d'avoir mis cette vidéo en ligne. Il serait intéressant de préciser le nom des autres musiciens dans les infos sur la vidéo. Le guitariste est Elek Bacsik.
The intro was from Charlie Parker's "Bird of Paradise". I doubt that Bird was thinking of Rachmaninoff, although it is possible. He did listen to a lot of classical music. BTW, I played piano with Elek a long time (20-plus years) ago. He was a wild and crazy guy. And just thinking about that is starting to make me feel a little old.
The first time I heard about ELEK BACSIK was at the PARIS champs élysés drugtore . The shop was playing the 33 T " the electric guitar of the eclectic ELEK BACSIK " and I felt struck . I asked the waiters for info and they sold me the record on the spot . It changed my life and opened the jazz world to my guitar practice . i dreamed to meet my guitar hero and had the opportunity to talk with Kenny CLARKE his partner who answers me " Elek joined the STATES and doesn't give news ." Few years later he worked in CANADA but passed from lung cancer .
@iritru its named " Gainsbourg: une vie héroïque" (an heroic life). I've watched it recently, very good movie, the main actor seems to be Serge himself. I strongly recommend it.
PS--Elek was playing violin at the time. One of his favorite sayings was: "STEPHANE GRAPPELLI CAN'T PLAY JAZZ!!!" He would say it in a CAPITAL LETTERS tone of voice--lol.
Gainsbourg était un pianiste de cabaret, et il ne s'en cachait pas. D'ailleurs ça s'entend sur cet enregistrement. Je voulais te répondre un peu plus mais je n'arrive pas à faire assez court pour tenir dans un commentaire. Tant pis :)
PAS un "as " mais suffisamment doué et instruit pour se débrouiller . IL a d'ailleurs alterné avec ALAIN GORAGUER en tant que pianiste de " bar " ce qui suppose de réelles qualités .
@JasonWB007 Db7 #9, C7 #9 (x2). Inversions: Db F Cb(B) Fb(E), then C E Bb Eb on the DGB and E strings, respectively. Second time through same voicings, down an octave, A through B strings.
Hi! I play the piano, but it's more or less the same. There are many ways about it, but here goes! ... That AbM7 is the dominant of Eb (the key the song is leaving) so a mixolydian (5th) mode would fit nicely over it. The "C" should be stressed though, because that's the main note that brings us to the next key (G maj). 1st and 5th modes of G maj would bring in the new key well, though in this vid he stretches that Eb scale all the way right into the GM7 chord.
If anyone knows how to play guitar, could you explain how the AbM7 before the D7 and GM7 fits in and how to improvise over it and also, what to do with both the C+7 chord and Db-7/C-7/Bo7 progression? This is all from the jazz fake book. Thanks!
There is just something about this video. I can't put my finger on it. Not the best technically. In fact, not even close. But the chemistry, the part where Serge looks at the guitarist and smiles. The Maltese falcon, the smoke, the bourbon. Ah, to LIVE!
Superbe and, by the way it is not by Rachmaninoff Tony Martin introduced "All the Things You Are" in Jerome Kern's last Broadway musical, Very Warm for May, which opened November 17, 1939, and closed after only 59 performances ( I just pasted that...)And the rest too :
It is a Guild Stuart 500 with a Gibson "Charlie Christian" pickup. Bacsik probably bought it from Les Spann who was in the orchestra of Quincy Jones during a tour in Paris.
serge était un vrai musicien, certes pas un virtuose, mais un vrai musicien quand on sait ce qu'il a developpé par la suite. Par contre je trouve qu'il en faisait trop sur le plan médiatique, mais ça c'est une autre histoire.
You are the promised kiss of springtime That makes the lonely winter seem long You are the breathless hush of evening That trembles on the brink of a lovely song You are the angel glow that lights a star The dearest things I know are what you are Some day my happy arms will hold you And some day I'll know that moment divine When all the things you are, are mine You are the angel glow that lights a star The dearest things I know are what you are Some day my happy arms will hold you And some day I'll know that moment divine When all the things you are, are mine
pour la simple raison que chaque époque a ses codes, que l'improvisation est liée au jazz, que cela m'étonnerait que gainsbourg sache jouer du classique ou composer sur ordinateur et que contrairement a ce que tu sembles croire l'improvisation et la technique ne sont qu'un seule des multiples approches que l'on peut avoir de la musique.
@cowofawesome Thanks. MrJasonHite's comment makes sense because as it turns out, it was a Charlie Parker recording of this tune that i had trouble recalling and naming.
Merci papa, tu es vraiment le meilleur contrebassiste au monde !

Du grand Gainsbourg et c'est cela qu'il faut retenir de l'artiste, le TALENT majuscule !!
Magnifique!
Artist of art
Love it. Thanks!

Maravilloso, que manera de tocar¡
Grandes músicos
best cover of this song.......ever
wow, this is such a treasure. Viva UA-cam for bringing stuff like this out of the dusty attic.
This is the 'coolest' video.....Just Love it!
Gainsbourg était un bon pianiste...mais un GRAND ARTISTE! Elek baksic était un grand guitarriste et n'oublions pas à la contrebasse Michel Gaudry. Le bassiste aussi oublié lors de la présentation aux capucines en 1963 pour les amateurs avertis...Gainsbourg forever!
MAGNIFIQUE !!! TOUJOUR !
Superb chemistry!
Ah ces moments de complicité entre Elec Baczic et Gainsbourg... Excellent!
Quel bonheur ! Magique ;)
The beginning is sooooo raw!
Wonderful ... Ich liebe ... seine musik
Genius.
que de plaisir de vous voir prendre votre pied au piano c et excellent dommage que vous soyez parti si vite...!
Uau muito bom esse vídeo
Wow- you got to love the Catboy Serge and all his facets- this is thrillingly cool.
great.
greetings from turkey
Merci !
Super !

Que du bonheur !
un génie tout simplement .....
superbe.

these guys look like the coolest people ever to be born
muy buena melodia....mas que una melodia...
j'adore la vue entre gainsbourg et le guitariste en 1:19
ça, c'est une cohabitation parfaite!
Music comes out of them naturally. They're just 3 fellas hanging around, enjoying music, a cigar, and booze.
@JazzyGiord The problem with knowing too much about one thing (music on its technical side) is that it sometimes makes us forget that it is not all there is.
This piece, including the video itself, shines for very different reasons that can't be find by someone who only listens.

so accurate statement !
Exactly. God bless UA-cam for this kind of stuff!
Serge Gainsbourg était un très bon parolier de chansons.
Merveilleux Eleck Bacsik
thanks alot! I meant the song name, that was defentilty my
favourite part in the movie
I just love Serge's hands.
visually it's damn cool with the smoking hot! however if i were in the room, i'd faint. LOL. Amazing musicians! :D Thanks for the upload!
Way cool ...
La classe dans le chorus on retrouve les gammes mixo et autres .....il savait ou il allait !!!!!

découverte. arigatou.
I never wanted to be a piano so much in my life. That guy was sexy.
¡Qué buena onda! Me recuerda a Django Reinhardt. Thank You, Gracias, grazie, Merci,!!
wahouuuu

t'as raison! je l'entends ...
I find it great!Let poor jazzygiord say every silly and spiteful nonsense he wants.Thanks for posting this wonderful video.
Jeandel
@iritru
the movie is
Gainsbourg, vie héroïque
a movie by Sfar
The song is "laetitia"
or "Elaeudanla Teïtéïa"
Merci d'avoir mis cette vidéo en ligne.

Au mon dieu ! Comment il a esquivé le solo !
I liked Elek Bacsik's rhythm guitar playing on this recording.
@iritru its named " Gainsbourg: une vie héroïque" (an heroic life).
I've watched it recently, very good movie, the main actor seems to be Serge himself. I strongly recommend it.
they are having fun, playing a role 4 the camera..
...the Gitanes, the suspended chords, yes...and that confouded Maltese falcon.
cool cats
Michel Gaudry à la contrebasse , Elec Bacsik à la guitare
et excellent ça s'écrit avec un E.
PS--Elek was playing violin at the time. One of his favorite sayings was: "STEPHANE GRAPPELLI CAN'T PLAY JAZZ!!!" He would say it in a CAPITAL LETTERS tone of voice--lol.

Je voulais te répondre un peu plus mais je n'arrive pas à faire assez court pour tenir dans un commentaire. Tant pis :)
Quel swing! C'est incroyable!
ELEK BACSIK en est le maitre d'oeuvre !
Gainsbourg était un as du jazz au piano...c'était son gagne-pain au commencement de sa carrière dans les panios-bars parisiens...
PAS un "as " mais suffisamment doué et instruit pour se débrouiller . IL a d'ailleurs alterné avec ALAIN GORAGUER
en tant que pianiste de " bar " ce qui suppose de réelles qualités .
yes, i recognize. it's the vavilov ave maria. or caccini if you like...
@JasonWB007 Db7 #9, C7 #9 (x2). Inversions: Db F Cb(B) Fb(E), then C E Bb Eb on the DGB and E strings, respectively. Second time through same voicings, down an octave, A through B strings.
@ElfPrincessHarley Yes, thanks much!
is it just me or are do the guys look totally awsome sitting around and smoking right before they start
@MrJasonHite Thanks for the info.

Very Cool! Skill and technique yes, but attitude is everything...
I believe I knew the guitarist!!!

does he have the maltese falcon sitting on his piano??
I think it's an owl. There's a good view of it about 6:24 of this film. ua-cam.com/video/4130jlQZRbc/v-deo.html
@BKSopJP
1964 when smoking was killing a LOT of people.
Unfortunately ELEK BACSIK died from lung cancer in the nineties .
There is just something about this video. I can't put my finger on it. Not the best technically. In fact, not even close.
But the chemistry, the part where Serge looks at the guitarist and smiles. The Maltese falcon, the smoke, the bourbon.
Ah, to LIVE!
haha, it's Elek Bacsik on guitar!
In french, which means.... C'est sympa!
Superbe and, by the way it is not by Rachmaninoff
Tony Martin introduced "All the Things You Are" in Jerome Kern's last Broadway musical, Very Warm for May, which opened November 17, 1939, and closed after only 59 performances
( I just pasted that...)And the rest too :
someones pout a fly in this novelty ice cube !
Jamais entendu Gainsbourg jouer du jazz.
Décidément il aura tout fait.
1964 when smoking was still cool and no one cared who smoked
what kind of guitar is Elek Bacsik playing? Looks like it has a Charlie Christian pickup in the neck pos.
It is a Guild Stuart 500 with a Gibson "Charlie Christian" pickup. Bacsik probably bought it from Les Spann who was in the orchestra of Quincy Jones during a tour in Paris.
serge était un vrai musicien, certes pas un virtuose, mais un vrai musicien quand on sait ce qu'il a developpé par la suite. Par contre je trouve qu'il en faisait trop sur le plan médiatique, mais ça c'est une autre histoire.
To była dopiero impreza.
You are the promised kiss of springtime
That makes the lonely winter seem long
You are the breathless hush of evening
That trembles on the brink of a lovely song
You are the angel glow that lights a star
The dearest things I know are what you are
Some day my happy arms will hold you
And some day I'll know that moment divine
When all the things you are, are mine
You are the angel glow that lights a star
The dearest things I know are what you are
Some day my happy arms will hold you
And some day I'll know that moment divine
When all the things you are, are mine

At the end,
Mr Serge final touches on the keyboard
, are these the notes for the tune ???
@cowofawesome Thanks. MrJasonHite's comment makes sense because as it turns out, it was a Charlie Parker recording of this tune that i had trouble recalling and naming.
