Charles Mingus Sextet, at the University Aula, Oslo, Norway, april 12th, 1964 (colorized) 

Yup Europe recognized jazz geniuses. In Poland Miles davis was treated like a King, like he deserved. He was surprised, he mentioned it in his biography

I did notice that many, if not most, of the best live performances of the greats caught on film are from Europe.

Well said.

I agree. Could it be that America was still fighting a “civil” war 100 years after THE Civil War”? I was born one before this recording was made and I feel that progress has been slow. I find Europe to be open minded socially (in general) and does a better job of taking care of its people. I like to go to France; the kids tend to be well behaved, the bread doesn’t give me an upset stomach, fruits and vegetables taste like they should, meals are not rushed, etc. sorry for the tangent. It’s nice the see the performance and not just hear it. Miss the class.

@@briangriffin8106 i guess in USA jazz gigs didnt last too long, after few minutes kkk stormed in and lighted up cross

Well said

in those days it was far out. d y n a m i c a l l y

He and Mingus are the best rhythm section in jazz ever

@@stefanba2029 absolutely. Mingus acts almost like a "maestro" conductor

I feel divided about him and Mingus... I wish I could have seen him with other significant jazz leaders from that era, but he and Mingus played for so long that they developed a mutual musical understanding that is truly remarkable!

​@@ripaseca He was allways the leader, whatever the band were.

I liked the Mingus story in Miles’s autobiography.

My bass when it's real

Hello Danielle. I love your great uncle playing too.

I love watching him play too!! 👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏

you serious ? !

It s... Extradimentional

Extraordinary

❤ anch io ❤

Charles is his name… as he would have told you ! But thanks for loving him as we all do too...

I’m starting to believe RU-vid is filling the role public broadcasting did before the donor class hijacked it and demanded “prestige” viewing. When I was young this is what you’d see on there and not another Jane Austen remake.

Mingus , I love you

Dannie called them ' The Almighty Three'

Love Dannie’s swing

I saw them once. Carnegie Hall 1974.

@@rustynail766 The concert that was later released on ATLANTIC (?)

7:25

Check it out liszt piano music that's also some metal music from xix century

Yeah, Johnny was astounding. Completely stand out and so expressive.

Johnny Coles...passed in 1997, age 71.

I found this amazing synopsis on his album black saint and the sinner lady

the bass and percussions are the core of every musical creation

How would you know?

Have you heard them all ?😊

@@olebirgerpedersen He said "quite possibly…" which is quite possible…

really ?

Coles seems out of tune.

@@robwarren4425 Not sure? Lol.

@@robwarren4425 I wouldn't say - I'm quite sensitive to intonation. said that intonation isn't all and depends on context and style. often we can find good music with approximate intonation.

Great filming , great musicianship , great Jazz and the colorisation ....Wow !

The best!

Grow up!

@@isaackahn7188 not Ray Charles

Yes

Did you mean Dolphy? Mingus died in 1979.

@@lanceash yes Dolphy, dies right after these shows with Mingus. Yes we were lucky to have Mingus with us until 1979. Makes me think of that marvelous LP Joni put out in either 1980 or 1979 where you could hear the two talking.

When the demons are asleep these angels arise and bury them with ass kickin' harmony and riffs. To all the peace lovers who live life, relishing goodness and brotherhood HAPPY NEW _EAR!!!
