From the BBC-2 Series: "Jazz 625" and that's John Lewis on piano; Percy Heath, bass; Connie Kay, drums, and Milt Jackson on vibes. Some backing group, I'd say!
Actually the notes is about the notes used on singing, but after some time he add another note, and in a part of the song he uses all notes of the scale as it was mentioned on the lyrics. This song is really creative
No, I didn’t record it. It was in Carmel Valley Ca. Laurindo Was a true gentleman, kind and easy to play music with. I can only hope he felt the same about me :-) Interestingly, he indicated he was not a fan of the brush and stick approach to playing bossa nova. Which was very common then and still today.
I saw Laurindo Almeida live in a small Jazz Club in Toronto many, many years ago, never to be forgotten. I was visiting family there, I was 30 I'm now 80 and still play his music digitally through my iPhone on my 2007 Jaguar S-type car stereo(updated two years ago). My two favourite things in one place, driving the Jag and listening to Laurindo.
Was that Jazz club somewhat outside of the village ( Yorkville) maybe on Avenue road. I somewhat remember a club like that but hey for me it was approx 55 years ago when I was there
That may be the sweetest, cleanest, most creative guitar intro I've ever heard. Also cool to hear the gentle piano accompaniment which was basically like a second guitar...
Amazing work by Laurinho, but a big shoutout to the Modern Jazz Quartet. Brilliant solos by Milt Jackson on vibes and John Lewis on piano. This group will never be duplicated.
@shangex4795 he’s right, you’re wrong. RCA44’s, U87s, EV20’s, etc these mics are still the live of choice in the best studios and are highly sought after and very $$
I LOVE the nod from Laurindo to Milt @3:00 and while I have watched this clip many times, I always see something new. Anyone familiar with Brasil guitar technique know about the towel atop Laurindo's instrument? I was only nine when this was filmed so this is one of the true gems of UA-cam!
He did such beautiful work. He's truly a jazz & Brazilian treasure who mixed classical playing style with what was hot & popping in pop culture. He knew his business.
Unforgettable Laurindo...! Flawless classical technique, harmony skills, soulful, he still remains on toplist of all Brazilian guitarists.. He worked with the best jazzmen (Stan Getz, MJQ, Bud Shank, etc.)
I’ve listened to it a dozen times since seeing and hearing it hear. What a delight. His solo to open is marvelous and when MJQ joins in the lights literally go up on the combined performance. Thanks for posting! ❤
Laurindo Almeida was a consummate musician who played Classical Guitar, jazz, contemporary music and made wonderful arrangements for the guitar. One of my friends is was a music producer of Baroque Music that convinced Laurindo Almeida to record an all Bach album. The result was a very enjoyable collection of selected Bach pieces arranged for 2 guitars (played by Laurindo on two different tracks).
I had the great pleasure to see Laurindo Almeida and friends at The Lighthouse Cafe in Hermosa Beach, CA back around 1972ish when I was still in high school - a friend turned me on to Laurindo and I went with family, on two occasions. Shelly Mann played drums on one visit. It was magical. I'm so glad we have this performance with the legendary MJQ from 1964. Best wishes.
I fortunately had the great honor and pleasure of seeing him perform in Greenwich Village in the late 1980’s. He was so fantastic and has always been one of my favorite guitarists!!!
The algorithm has been good to me today. My cup runneth over. This absolutely dope and thank you whoever posted it in such good quality. This is what… early 60’s?!?! Sounds super clear.
Wow, it is wonderful to see this on video! Thank you. I still enjoy the recording they made together of this, Jobim's bossa nova classic. Also included in the same recording is an emotional performance of the slow movement of Rodrigo's "Concerto de Aranjuez".
2minutos de introdução kkkkk hoje em dia 2 minutos e q música kkkkk GENIO LAURINDO ALMEIDA, o mundo aplaude esse grande gênio brasileiro que é desconhecido dos brasileiros.
Wow, thanks for posting! I haven’t heard his playing since the early 1960’s as my mother had a couple of his vinyl albums. Being at one time a teacher of Spanish language she had a natural affinity for Latin culture. I was only 12-14 years old then but I distinctly remember this music and Dvorak’s 9th as clearly as I remember anything from that time😊
Just love the camera work. It's calm, help in the appreciation of the music, and you feel like being there. Nowdays it's all cuts, like an action film.
Изыскано. Восхитительно. Невероятно парЯще...👍👍👍 P.S. Помню сборник "Классическая гитара в джазе" 1987 года издания (полностью "альмейдовский"- как аранжировки, так и авторские вещи) был просто нарасхват!☺
I gave myself the best b-day present by watching this video of Laurindo Almeida and company. Thank you on this wednesday july 17th 2024 my b-day.😇 Btw killer xylophone playing WOW
Love Laurindo and his music. His grave is next to my mother and father's grave. The headstone says, "EO TE AMO MY BIG BEAR...YOUR MUSIC WILL LIVE FOREVER" RIP Laurindo
@@antonios-st.frantz6523 A guitarist can certainly gain a level of proficiency with sufficient practice, but very few will demonstrate the facile talent of Almeida.
@@ZeAlfredo Ajudaria se vc consultasse a Wikipedia para entender a trajetória de Laurindo. O vídeo é de 1964, mas ele chegou aos EEUU muito antes da Bossa Nova despontar no cenário brasileiro. Vc vai gostar de saber!
There has such an amazingly beautiful sound. To me there is a huge irony and, yes, humor that a "One Note" Samba has so many notes flung together with such apparent ease and fluidity. The vibes were also astounding! Who IS that guy?
Vim ver o Laurindo explêndido, por sinal, e acabei impressionado com o Erlon Chaves no vibrafone. Sabia que ele tocava, mas não tão fodasticamente bem!
incredible, but i can't help but notice he played more than one note
To be fair, he wasn't alone in not doing it.
I believe he played like two notes?
Clickbait video title got us again.
We stayed though.
I counted several more than 1
Maybe the "One" referred to the "Samba", not to the "Note".
I have reported him. Don’t worry😊
...Jobim, Almeida, Lobo, Gilberto, Bonfà...Brazil has given us such musical geniuses!
This performance is backed by some absolutely phenomenal direction and camerwork, it was all so beautiful
Love the camera work to !
Very good point
…must be europe.
yeah makes it seem like a start of a biopic, where you can imagine the studio
listen very carefully
the samba part is the same note again and again
From the BBC-2 Series: "Jazz 625" and that's John Lewis on piano; Percy Heath, bass; Connie Kay, drums, and Milt Jackson on vibes. Some backing group, I'd say!
thanks, i was thinking how funky is the piano player....
John Lewis
Yeah, they're called "The Modern Jazz Quartet"
Yes, well having been a fan of the MJQ since the 1950s, and attending a few of their concerts, I had my tongue in cheek when making the comment...
@@sitarnut Yeah. Of the of the best jazz combos ever!!
Back when the BBC was worth the license fee !
Title of the song: One note samba
Proceeds to play 100 notes in the first 5 seconds
Marc Santeu 🤣
well done my friend
Don't you know the lyrics?
"Other notes are bound to follow,
But the root is still that note ..." 🎼
Actually the notes is about the notes used on singing, but after some time he add another note, and in a part of the song he uses all notes of the scale as it was mentioned on the lyrics.
This song is really creative
@@gsponda a letra comenta a própria música, em tempo real haha; é uma obra-prima!
I’m very fortunate I had the opportunity to perform with him.
That is such a memory I’m sure..
Do you happen to have a recording?

You seem like a cool guy ken. Cruise that jag. Play that jazz.
I love the giant Coles velocity microphone in front of the vibraphone! What a sound!
Nicely spotted!
I am sure you mean the ST&C 4038, the production model of the BBC velocity microphone.
The goosenecked KM54 on the guitar sounded nice as well;-)
Yeap, what a sound those engineers made. My admires to them!

Yes but this kind of music is bossa nova. Wich cames from samba, wich cames from choro. Much older than jazz.
@@Beowulf_93ok
@@Beowulf_93He didn’t say this was jazz, just that the band here is named the Modern Jazz Quartet. Learn to read.
Milt Jackson is brilliant! Always was.
Thanks, I wanted to see the credits for the band. Amazing sound.
His playing is very good. He can do classical, flamenco, jazz and bossa nova with great ease. The band was great and so were the other soloists.
Verdade
One of the best performances of this song by some of the best musicians on the planet. Genius at work.
I heard many notes. Beautifully played but significantly more than one.
Wow, johncatl, really?
School obviously wasn’t wasted on you!

It doesn't get any better than this! What a treasury of talent and taste on that stage!
Guitar and vibes are such a cool combo!
Guitar makes good combo with everything!
I love how he first need to show that the Brazilian style of guitar doesn't need a band to back it self up.
@XX crump
To that I have only this to answer with: ua-cam.com/video/Svq6Bi9XCdU/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/cGOsi5xlGq8/v-deo.html
That's like the black American/ADOS style of piano. It doesn't need a band either.
Or hell, ADos style bass as well a la victor wooten.
Aprenda como faz americano

Laurinho Almeida e Luis Bonfá, os dois violinistas mais subestimados do Brasil .
He did such beautiful work. He's truly a jazz & Brazilian treasure who mixed classical playing style with what was hot & popping in pop culture. He knew his business.
São bem estimados, mas para quem conhece.
Como se fosse possível ouvir e lembrar todos os artistas, de todos os tempos, ao mesmo tempo e o tempo todo.
Welp, TIL the Portuguese word for "guitarist" is a false friend.
são muito estimados
Laurindo foi um dos melhores violonistas da nossa terra, um dos percursores da bossa nova.
And he is quite unknown now... Here in Brazil. Pardon, Laurindo.
@@joselopes4709 "Complexo de vira-latas" strikes again.

Have the original album of him with the modern jazz quartet with one note samba on it . Timeless beauty and sounds. True masters
What a great performance! Thanks for posting it and keeping Bossa Nova alive for generations to come!
What a beautiful recording too, 1964, what a fine sound. And this version is something else!
Hard to not imagine Astrud Gilberto's note crooning along on this... such a lovely tune.
These guys make it look so easy! The guitar man is really special
A real 'class act."
Wonderful performance by the amazing Laurindo Almeida, of a brilliant piece of music, written by the great Antonio Carlos Jobim....
A real professional guitar master he is.
Lots of passion in his style. FABULOUS!!! This and "Corcovado" are two Jobim masterpieces.
Unforgettable Laurindo...! Flawless classical technique, harmony skills, soulful, he still remains on toplist of all Brazilian guitarists.. He worked with the best jazzmen (Stan Getz, MJQ, Bud Shank, etc.)
He was a True Master performer and composer!!!
I’ve listened to it a dozen times since seeing and hearing it hear. What a delight. His solo to open is marvelous and when MJQ joins in the lights literally go up on the combined performance. Thanks for posting! ❤
I can’t stop either - you mention my favorite part too. Especially when the percussion starts…I’m definitely sampling that 😂
I purchased the LP in '86, and fell in love with it!! That bond hasn't been broken!!
My goodness, the piano in this piece is so delightful and understated. My favorite part of this take. Love it all, though.
A very fine guitar Master backed by the class of the Modern Jazz Quartet... ❤

Just an incredible look back into one of the greatest periods in not just American music, but world music. Wonderful stuff!

Magnifique
J'aurais aimé joué avec ce professeur.
Il y a tout...
Merci
I still have many record Lp of him and he with the LA 4 jazz band . The band end in 1982 , a great lost for jazz .
I can't get enough of this stuff, thanks, that was great.
Laurindo plays this style exquisitely. He has the look of someone who is really on top of the demands of the instrument.
Out of this world! Just divine!
Great music! ... and it reminds you how talented the audio/video techs were in those day ... such great sound and visuals, Live on TV!
I grew up with his Bachianas Brasilieras No. 5 in my home in florida in the 70s. Phenomenal artist
