In Memoriam - Charlie Haden 

As a small child, Charlie sang on the Grand Ole Opry stage with his family: the Haden Family singers. He lost his angelic singing voice due to bulbar polio. He started playing his brother’s bass and the rest was history. There was no stopping that angelic voice. Bless you Charlie

Ernie Watts ... there are no words to describe one of the greatest saxophonists in the world. Here he demonstrates all the skills that a musician must have. Ladies and gentlemen, ERNIE WATTS

We miss our dear friend Charlie Haden. I followed his career since the first recordings with Ornette Coleman and my soul brothers Dewey Redman and Paul Motian. I last met him when he toured with Geri Allen in 1988.

The sax is mindblowing

Everything Charlie ever played was all ❤ ,soul and warmth.Never a false note. One's art is always the person itself.

The miracle of jazz music

Beautifull Song ! Saxophone splendid !

My God the Architecture of Charlie Hadens Solo, after Ernie's solo. Utter genius. How to a play a solo that is not the song, that is totally the song. And the way he brings in the orchestra after solo? Ridiculous good.

What a superb Bassist, and what a beautiful human being! Myron Schwartzman

I will always cherish the time we sat in Charlie's room and he introduced me to his music by putting his Liberation Orchestra album and some of his albums with Keith Jarrett on his turntable. Charlie was a very "cool cat." Rest easy friend.

Este es un CONTRABAJISTA! Esto es música de verdad!! Me emociona! Grande Maestro, tu imagen, sonido y expresión no morirá nunca y siempre será un ejemplo a seguir.

Many, many thanks for the emotions and everything... RIP Charlie!

There are no words. RIP Charlie.

I'm just now finding out that he passed away. Love him and his music. I listened to The Moon Song all weekend. Thank you for your vast contribution to music Mr. Haden. Thanks so much for posting this beautiful piece of music.

Beautifull Song played with all musicians, Ernie wonderfull solo .

Gorgeous song.. They are forbidden souls.. I'm happy to be alive..

Qué belleza de versión, por favor. Qué manera de seguir extrañando a Charlie for ever...

It's not about instrumental technique, it is about taste (playing the prettiest notes) and give them a soul that reverberates with ours. That's Charlie Haden.

What a great bass player, what a great man, an inspiration for music lovers!!

Oh mon Dieu que c'est beau! je les ai vus en concert dans la petite ville de Pèzenas (34) en 91 ou 92... magnifique! Un grand qui est parti hélas!

Eine Perle, nein ein Diamant des Jazz, mit einem Ausnahmekünstler Ernie Watts an der Spitze!!! Vielen Dank fürs Hochladen!!!

Thanks for uploading this video. This is far beyond an excellent song, arrangement & performance. It is the first time that I remember hearing it & I've listened to it a few times in the last 24 hours. I also listened to the Coleman Hawkins rendition which inspired Charlie and I strongly recommend that others also listen to it. Another recommended listen is a version with lyrics by Johnny Mercer that Cassandra Wilson sung on Sophisticated Ladies. In a August 6 2011 article at his website titled: 'Charlie's Turntable: "My Love and I" ', he talks about this song. Here is an excerpt: "I first performed the song on my Quartet West CD Always Say Goodbye recorded in 1993 with Ernie Watts on tenor sax, Alan Broadbent on piano and Larance Marable on drums and strings. We play the song first and then I bring in Coleman Hawkins’ original version so that everyone could hear what inspired me".

Wonderful, Wonderful Charlie Haden, you are sadly missed, thank you for your participation in THE MUSIC ( Jazz)

May he rest in peace...A great composer he was indeed. Ernie Watts did a great job with the tribute. Most of my collection was with him and Ernie Watts.

So glad we made the trip from Paris to go see him in concert in London, 3 years ago or so. He lives on.

Charlie Haden: one of the best! RIP and Godspeed, Charlie!

Absolutely beautiful music.

Outstanding saxophonist, superb, I didn't know that guy.

Simplicity and heart, melody and feeling. Already three years as he passed away. Sorow.

This is the most moving of songs. Viewing and listening to this leaves me in awe of the talent there. True giants of jazz. Thank you for putting this up.

A very great composer...

Very much in his sometimes melancholy spirit. Excellent choice for honouring CH

Quartet West and Alan Broadbent's string arrangement - PERFECTION.

Pearl defines this Haden peace. Ernie Watts is pure magic.

God Bless Charlie Haden!

wonderful and greatest and extra deep feeling. a wonder in interpretation and music !..................................
