All The Things You Are enregistré au festival de Nice en 1979 par un All Star composé de Dizzy Gillespie (tp), Stan Getz (ts), Arnie Lawrence (as), John Lewis (p), George Duvivier (b), Shelly Manne (dr)
you are right. he played phrases not just thousands notes one after each other with no meaning. Like most of the modern jazz that makes it unpleasant to listen to even for trained musicians.
I really enjoyed this rendition of a hard tune.The first few seconds of Arnie the altoist improvisation I thought "what the fu*#",I then started to relate to his style and approach,and I thought "the soul of a man" very cool.I even noticed Shelly give a surprised look of approval at Arnies' solo. Creative individuality on common ground, this is what jazz is,and should always be-we musicians are not robots. Sorry if I step on anyones toes,but the truth hurts sometimes. Cheers and music to all !!!
I heard Diz, Stan, Lester Young, the Bird, etc., live and in person in the 50's at Bird Land and Basin Street in Manhattan. For a $3.50 minimum my friends and I would sit through 2 shows. My how the times they are a changin.'
This was great seeing these jazz icons playing this tune at a nice relaxed tempo instead of the usual tear-up it so often gets. I must have missed this session as it took me 2 days driving to Nice from the UK in my old VW camper.I did catch a great session with Arnie Lawrence and Ira Sullivan doing a tribute to Bird on altos.
Nice to see George Duvivier here. I recognized his striking features. He recorded with just about every jazz musician you could name. Arnie Lawrence was amazing on a Chico Hamilton Impulse album. Well worth checking that out. Manne's body language shows why he couldn't play with Monk. They tried a session, but abandoned it. Bad choice, Orrin. Also nice to see John Lewis, and nice solo.
one of the great jazz records of all time is "Diz and Stan" they played together many times and you just haven't heard enough to know here he sounds great and with plenty of punch and swing
Diz and Stan.....The dynamic duo! Diz, the co- founder of bop with Stan, the disciple of Prez, on the same stage with a lyrical altoist, Arnie Lawrence and the leader of the MJQ. What a kick ass rhythm section. America’s music! Thanks for sharing!
Jazz giants from the 40s , Dizzy and Getz, put everything they've got into "All the Things You Are" showing they were still the best of the best thirty plus years on from the dawn of bop. Nice quote by Arnie Lawrence at 9:08 of the opening phrase from "Dear Old Stockholm". The rhythm section just lay it down with understatement, authority and feel without putting too much egg on it. Fantastic Accoustic Swingingly Swonderful Jazz....>>>
The jazz gurus can nitpick this and that ...but it was a great tune played nicely by all ....nice to see George and Shelly relaxed and enjoying the tune. Arnie's solo was perfect, I thought. Stan and Diz = true to form.
Some people should just not comment and go back to listening to Brittany Spears. Not only is everyone playing beautifully here, but Arnie Lawrence gets a special nod for pushing the boundaries a bit, while clearly laying down some very in the pocket - No-question-I-can-nail-the-changes - bop lines. And for those who fully hear what’s going on, dig how he suggests an influence on Kenny G!!(“Garrett” for the unaware). I have often thought about the influences on KG, and it seems that AL was one of them. Time for a google search to look for reference to this...
I was reading an article, chilling and relaxing while listening to this, then the alto started quacking at around 10:00 That scared me so much don't get me wrong though, the solo had its moments when I actually went back and listened
This is a marvelous jazz rendition of "All the Things You Are". It's a rather complex tune, and it's a wonder that they can keep trackig the changes with solos that go so far out, but they do. All of the solos are fantastic, and it is great to hear the three wind soloists playing to together at the beginning and the end. (The only thing comparable is the Konitz, Mulligan, Baker version.) There will never be another horn player like Dizzy!
That tune is well-known to most jazz musicians, so they wouldn't have had any trouble with it. However, it IS a perfect example of why Miles went into modal pieces. He said he was sick of chasing loads of chord changes. I can play this if requested, but following the masses of chord changes does commandeer quite an amount of attention that could be better spent on everything else. In 2018, I would prefer not to play it and other chordal tunes like the worn-out "There Will Never Be Another You". They are stories that have been told far too many times.
This Francis Elliot guy and a couple others on here sure are talking a lot of shit about Arnie Lawrence, who I think plays a great solo on here. He was one of the original Tonight Show band members, founded the New School for Jazz in NYC, played with everyone from Trane, Clark Terry, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Mingus, Frank Foster, Tommy Dorsey, James Brown, and Chico Hamilton. His students include Brad Mehldau, Larry Goldings, and Roy Hargrove. All the cats that can play consider him to be one of the greats. Let's hear your video with Dizzy Gillespie & Stan Getz...oh wait a minute, you don't have one...The "truth hurts sometimes," huh Francis?
+Ray Callender Agree with you. A. Lawrence plays really well here. Maybe he had the misfortune of following the piano player (very good one too) who had a much more "minimalist" kind of approach so the contrast is quite stark. But there's nothing wrong with his solo. Notice too that he got quite a lot of applause.
+Ray Callender Im pretty sure that Francis was just annoyed because Lawrence didn't play bebop licks. In my opinion I think that Lawrence's solo was the best....
I've read that Stan had a photographic memory and stunned the seasoned musicians when he played with Jack Teagarden or Benny Goodman as a teenager. It was said he could look at the music once and memorize it. Maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration but not only did he play by ear as all Jazz musicians do, he could read with the best of them.
@@harriairaksinen5694 That's weird...I've read that when he was 15 he'd look at the music once and it would be memorized. Also on the Getz with Boston Pops he reads the entire score!
what's all this BS blah blah??arnie's solo is great. listen to the great quote at 9:00 (somebody PLEASE tell me the source) and go learn his riffs.they are way cooler than yours. lots of space, funky, modern. a little kenny garrett-ish..uh ..about 20 years early....can you deal with some sharp 11's? and one sharp 12 too i think... ..yeah,francis, you got out of bed on the wrong side...Stan was probably drunk, but he is playing some swinging sloppy lyrical heaven. i love it..PUNCtuated....
I heard Stan 7-8 years before this. He was wearing an all leather suit and his rhythm section was Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke, and Tony Williams. That combination can be heard on the album "Captain Marvel." Both he and Diz sound marvelous here, with Diz delivering a solo that says: "Ain't nobody going to upstage me." The rhythm is is trifle "leaden"--I'm afraid Duvivier's strong but immoveable bass fastens it down a bit too securely. John Lewis always sounded best with the MJQ--or solo--but his minimalist simplicity is a refreshing break from the pyrotechnics of Getz and Diz. I only wish Sonny Stitt had been on hand to make a final statement. (It feels to me like the tempo may have slowed down a bit by the time we get to Lawrence' solo. I rather hear a group "rush" in response to theirs and the audience excitement than drag the time.)
George was a fine bassist, but he did tend to be a bit draggy and plodding. I first heard him on Pepper Adams's album "The Cool Sound Of Pepper Adams" and he is a bit tedious on that. But I have been spoiled by lots of Paul Chambers and Ron Carter.
A bit strange this performance by Stan a little off the top box.Sure Getz and Dizzy were the best, Arnie seems a bit out of place in the woodwind trio.All the others ok .
I tend to agree about Arnie's solo not being all that good but I disagree with the negative comments about Stan. Stan can play anything he wants, whenever he wants. Isn't that what Jazz is about? Playing what you feel at the time? So he didn't touch that nerve in you like he usually does, so what!
Stan could play anything but not anytime, he did everything by ear, therefore requiring the rhythm section to play the structure of each song in the set at least once without him in rehearsals
This comment is incorrect. Stan Getz could read music and was highly skilled at it. He got his start playing in big bands in the 1940s. He was a member of Woody Herman's big band and as a part of the famous "Four Brothers" lineup.
Maybe I got out the wrong side of the bed this morning but Stan don't sound like Stan and seems to be trying too hard. He just doesn't sound cool like he usually did. I would never pair him with Dizzy and this example is testament to my opinion. The other saxophonist was pathetic. Sorry if I stand on anybodies toes. but the truth hurts sometimes.
