Thank you for posting this video. I first saw it at Johnny Coles' apartment in Philly in 1995. He was my music teacher and friend. I spent the last two years of his life with him almost everyday. I was there when he died and attended the funeral. I cooked his food when he was sick and waited on him when all his great friends came to see him for the very last time. I saw Frank West, Jimmy Heath, James Moody and several others. Johnny had a collection of music and videos that were absolutely amazing. He told me the story of how his Mother brought his first trumpet in 1937 and how long she worked to save the money. When he received the trumpet, he put it down and went to play with his friends. This happen three times until his Mother called him in and beat his ass for not being serious. He hold me from that day on, he played his trumpet every single day of his entire life and slept with it. May God bless one of the greatest jazz musicians that ever lived and may he rest in peace - forever.
I got to play this song in college with Dennis Mackrel in my big band. The man is a *phenomenal* drummer, and made our band sound 50x larger than it usually did. Such a beautiful piece.
この美しいソロを聴いてると涙が出てくる。
Miss my dear old friend Johnny Cole's a great teacher and a great friend also gave me the opportunity too work with the Basie Band under the leadership of Thad Jones want a honor
この素晴らしいカウントベイシーバンド。とりわけソロのジョニー・コールズのフリューゲルホーンは、何度聴いてもハラハラするくらいスリリングで、最後まで聞き通してしまう。
I had the honour and pleasure to see Johnny Coles in Sydney, c. 1985, in an international UNO orchestra, with great support from such as Gene Harris, Ray Brown, Herb Ellis, so many other fine players, and our local rising star James Morrison (and I played some dates with him when he was young) in a wonderful concert. Over a huge time frame, the Basie band never failed to succeed, at a high level of enjoyment, musicianship, talented class. People talk of the obvious qualities, in trumpets, reeds, so good, but the trombone section always seemed to have friendly, excellent, artistic, quality. It remains, today, a lesson, kept running by the amazing Thad Jones here in 1985, after the sad passing of the big core, Bill, the BASIE.
この曲、おじいちゃんが昔話をしてくれているようなあったかさがあって大好きです。
Shout chorus gives me goosebumps!
This type of music illuminates my heart....so beautiful.
Right you are - completely magical!!
The greatest band.
There was a tie with the Duke Ellington Orchestra.
This band had a lighter texture than Duke's.
It also swung more.
Great tune beautiful flugelhorn solo The COUNT would have been proud of that one
わずか20歳前後のデニスがこのような素晴らしい曲を書いたことに驚きます。
Freddie Green on guitar stayed in the band after Basie's death. He was one of the last links to the great Basie band members from previous decades.
jdh1969 My friend. Don’t forget Sonny Conn the second trumpet from the right. Always his seat.
Till Sonny got fired.
BETTER than good. EXCELLENT. We ALL want to play in this band.
You said it!
@@jackjames7806 If Count Basie was here he would be smiling, I'm certain of it. But maybe he IS smiling . . .
Bel composition et arrangement du jeune batteur et Thad Jones dirige comme il faut ce beau Big Band avec une belle brochette de musiciens et d'anciens de Count Basie dont l'inimitable guitariste Freddy Green ! Good job comme on dit là bas, merci à tous !
Dennis Mackrel was only 23 in this video. What a genius.
Compare this to 2019 music
What?!?! Looks like he’s forty, lol
Johnny was brilliant! What a great sound. Sadly, he would be gone from us about a year later.
beautiful music
great song
The modern big band era ....late '40's to the late '70s....the principle artists....DIZZY, STAN. KENTON, MAYNARD 50'S AND 60'S, DUKE ELLINGTON, COUNT BASIE NEIL HEFTI AMD SAMMIE NESTICO, THAD JONES AND MEL LEWIS, and TOSHIKO TABACKIN....the great big band artists.
Ayer...hoy...y para siempre...
Grandioso COUNT...!!!
That flugel solo is next level
If there ever was a definition of being "in the pocket" this is it!
I love watching Thad swinging to this tune. He has been one of my favorites for many years. Check out his "Potpourri" album. Whenever I hear this I remember that American's great musical heritage owes a lot to Black and Jewish composers and musicians. The list of greats is too long to enumerate here but I guarantee: there are many. I know that Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Johnny Mandel, Johnny Mercer and Henry Mancini would agree.
Noe Berengena Very true. I just don’t know how those who are “ethnic supremacists” can avoid that wonderful heritage which will live on and on enriching our lives and those who encounter it. Sinatra and others were truly non racists and promoted ethnic minorities at a time of deep set social prejudice and divisions when you could be ostracised and cast out for such views. The black American musical heritage is unique as are the works of Elmer Bernstein et al. Cheers
Scott Hastings, Sr Just a simple acknowledgement of the diversity which has helped create the great musical heritage which we enjoy so much.
Scott Hastings, Sr Ok.
@@sdhastings you're being really hwite right there m8
@@sdhastings I just re-read your comment in August 2019 and was struck by your words: "People don't care about race anymore!" Wow, I wish that was true. But sadly, the big bad truth is that there are many, many people in the US who (whether they admit it or not) think some people are beneath them. Very few people live in integrated neighborhoods. Very few people have people of every color over to their houses for social gatherings. What universe do you live in? I am sure you are open-minded. Most of us jazz lovers are. But do you really believe what you wrote?
Thad is lovin' life! 1:02
Great to see someone having a ball doing what he does. And Thad does what he does very well. Used to listen to and really enjoy his collaborations with Mel Lewis.
That's because he had the band into a perfect swingin' groove at that point.
This song will express it's strongth when used in beer Commercial in TV.
"And That's Rad"
CB, great swing!
That makes worth living.
GREAT!!!
Those horns @ 1:10 are like a runaway truck blasting through your front door.
Fabulous.
Maravilha.
本当に、イカシテル！
❤
Good...Good...Good...Jose...Anjos....
♥️❗
Drummer wrote this tune? Last drummer hired by the Count himself.
Dennis Mackrel.
💚🌷😃
Horn "Flugled!!"

No one is a bigger Jazz fan than me, but there is one thing that bugs me about some of the cats that play it. Listen to the tempo and feel of this piece, then listen to the flugelhorn solo. Man, RELAX. Sounds like he's playing "BeBop" with Diz rather than a cool relaxed swinger with Basie. I just don't dig that stuff. Just my opinion after listening to and playing Jazz for over 50 years now, not here to start an argument. Cool, daddy o.
Your ear is keen and right where it should be, however, the music is legitimized by what is referred to in music as counterpoint...as in the use of or juxtaposing of one more melodies simultaneously. Keep in mind that the " head arrangement " days of the 30's are long gone, never to return...you have a great ear.
Yes, I gotta agree. I always felt that he was not keeping true to the language. A bit sloppy in this context.
jazz, or music for that matter is not linear. it's about personality, which is complex. "keeping true to the language" is something an old Johnny Coles isn't gonna give a single fuck about. I know what you're hearing but you're focusing on the mundane. Take Thad Jones solo on Shiny Stockings, a swing classic. Totally in the pocket and swinging but also infused with plenty of bebop. True to the language? That's something modern swing musicians do to keep a gig.
He is relaxed lol
It’s called playing on the beat. Driving the bus. To play a few choruses laid back might drag the band too
ベイシーの中でも大好きな曲のひとつ。自分達で演奏したときは上手くいかなくて、楽しくなかった笑
聴き応えのある演奏にするのは難しい曲だなって思った。
録画したビデオだなぁ。🙄😃🙄
грубовато
That horn doesn't swing. Sorry.
I'm very sorry but your feeling for swing must be awfully out-of-date! We're not part of the 1930s anymore!
