Roy Hargrove - Strasbourg St. Denis (2007 New Morning Club) 

I almost forgot to listen to this today.

Too bad the original got taken down. I love watching the dampening of the piano by hand. Which is why it sounds so plucky. So sick!

My favorite comment from the previous upload: "I don't even listen to jazz and this is the dopest shit I've ever heard."

RIP to the drummer Montez Coleman who passed last week. Happy rhythms with Roy in the after life.

One of the best piano solos I've ever heard. Unbelievable groove

Hargrove's solo on this has me making the stank face EVERY SECOND.

_I call this one Strasbourg St. Denis_ *It’s a fun place* And the rest is history. RIP Roy Hargrove.

This was what got me into jazz 2 years ago. I’m re listening to it and it sounds even better.

This is one of the greatest jazz performances of all time!

AMazing!!!! I have several kids from my jazz band (I teach high school) singing, playing, and dancing to this right now. One of them knows every note of Roy's solo vocally!

the horn solos are just a hymn to happiness and freedom. still coming back to this a few times a month and there's always something new to seek.

Why in the world would anybody delete this amazing performance a lot of time?

Still have my ticket stub from the last concert he was scheduled to perform at, with Branford Marsalis in Chicago. He was unable to fly out from New York and the next day we found out that he passed away. RIP Roy Hargrove

I was fortunate to share a bandstand with Mr. Hargrove once... What a wonderful moment in my life!

Literally one of the best recordings ever recorded

Yo, that moment when Robinson follows up Hargroves electrifying solo with a soft, sweet, seductive line that begs for more. Good God.

Justin Robinson's solo is incredible as fuck this is one of the most underated saxophone alto actually

Thank you soooo much this recording is freaking amazing. I was mad when it got taken down.

Best thing about Roy is despite his technical mastery his solos are always 100% melody

finally i can enjoy my favorite rendition again. this exact piece has some very nice memories attached to it.

RIP to the amazing drummer: Montez E. Coleman.

This could have been the most successful quintet in history as the years went on.

The groove during the piano solo is impeccable

“Art is a miracle of modern society” Roy Hargrove. What a legend.

This song doesn’t feel too long at over 12 minutes long. This is one off my favorite pieces of music ever. I just love it. Over and over, it doesn’t get old.

this is the greatest live recording of all time

Also, can we just talk about how hard Danton Boller is going in on the bass on this recording. Unreal!

I've been looking all over for this version. It disappeared a couple of years ago. I wish this was on Spotify. My favorite. RIP Roy. Peace be your journey, my dear friend. ❤💋

The best version I’m pissed they deleted the onstage version 😡 Thanks for uploading

Nearly broke my neck rocking to this tune. 90's vibe, love it!!

This was my shower song for like one year 😂

Masterful performance by the legendary Mr Roy Hargrove and friends. They all went beast mode this night. RIP Roy RIP Montez

Those who were lucky enough to be in this space. Every moment, every one of players is the genuin legend and will be passed down to posterity. This performance is one of the pinnacles the human has reached in the long music history.

Just tried to again upload the original video, still blocked, ugh -- thank you for posting this!

thank you. i nearly lost my mind looking for the clip

The solos and the moods... This recording listens like the chapters of a book, coming in and out like something irrepressible - it's like the tide, the crashing ocean, the smooth sailing - all in one piece. Incredible.

Rest In Peace Montez 🕊💜 One of St. Louis’ finest

This song straight-up just made me a fan of jazz. I was into Jaco and stuff before, since that's essential listening as a bassist, but...man. This made it all click.

These days two things are imperative- masks, and keeping the damn - video up. I can not imagine Roy would want it any other way. The video is half of the greatness of this incredible moment in time. Just inexcusable.

R.I.P my friend I will enjoy your music for the rest of my life because you and your musiciens had change and ameliorated the sound of twenty first century jazz the story goes on , magnifique music . from Paris FR.

True musicianship, amazing! It’s just flows, just smooth. Roy Hargrove was a true master, great quintet. Especially, Gerald Clayton on piano, Wow! 👍❤️🎼

Was blessed to see Roy multiple times around the world n meet him at Smokehouse as he came home n to listen. One of my wedding dance songs Soul Train Style a Brother with my Singaporean wife on Sentosa. Will always hold the Brother n his music near n dear to my heart. Monterey was my fav show cuz they just killed it! Rest in Peace My Brother...the heir Miles who I saw in Pompei as a youngster...gone to soon...missing him but appreciating the legacy n catalogue he left for us to enjoy daily...

This whole group was so legendary they're so tight and the energy is so strong not to mention the solos...

This tune sums up Hargrove and his wonderful personality and groove of life... RIP Roy... You are truly missed!

wherever they hand out awards for sound engineers, I hope the tech on this night got their due as well. Outstanding!

Gerald Clayton's comping on Roy ad the sax's solo is so INSANE! so good man ! he is the only one able to make it feel so good !

Holy molyyy this is so good. Now to learn the solos. Each a masterclass in jazz improv in its own right

Wonderful performance of a great piece, jazz at the top level, never fails to lift my spirits.

Man! This was incredibly fun! 🙇🏾‍♂️🎹🎺 Lee Morgan’s “Just by Myself” is another fun one to check out from the 60’s!

I was there!

Need the live video that goes with it!!! "...It's a fun place!" RIP, RH, and thank you so much for this jam that is so lifting!

The piano solo has insane textural diversity!

This is the best tune I have ever heard anywhere anytime: it is such non-stop concentrated superior delivery. Terribly, the video is gone off YT, as seeing them and the audience in action completed the senses. There are 3 amazing orgasms in this tune: piano, trumpet, and then sax. Gerald absolutely crushed it out of the park on piano. And for all the great drummers I've seen, Montez was amazingly involved. Poor bassist, got lost in all the perfection. I don't know what these guys were smoking, but it had to have been some really good shit [or maybe simply being in Paris??] I've thought of this many times: this is the most engaging and emotional piece I've ever come across [OK, maybe with the exception of Handel's Messiah].

This song is literally perfect

I listen to this like every day thank you so much for putting it back up

Amazing, thanks for the reupload! Absolutely beautiful piece.

I saw them play this at Yoshi's in Oakland probably 8 or 10 years ago. I've listened to it countless times and by different artists. Joyous.

This is a great example of how great minds can make four chords have infinite possibilities

This song it's like being kid again playing football with my friends on Saturday afternoon...

One of the best live recordings ever!!

I LOVE ROY HARGROVE and this tune right here . . . I just keep hitting repeat. Love this tune. I saw Roy Hargrove right before his untimely passing at the Newport Jazz Festival a memory I cherish. Peace. Gilda

Ahhh this makes my ears feeel goooood 😊 Roy was/is so damn soulful!

I am genuinely pissed that Qwest TV keeps taking down the O.G. version that has crisp footage. Why post it on Hargrove's birthday to celebrate his life if you're just going to delete it a month later as if it's somebody's to keep? And if it's RU-vid and not Qwest who's responsible then they're the ones I'm mad at. A recording like this shouldn't be hogged. I think whoever owns the footage has an obligation to make it available and accessible for all of mankind. Thanks to this uploader for at least making the audio available though

Has anyone got the full video. Gutted it was taken down. Can’t beat watching them perform.

Every member made this the best version, no one can be replaced. IMO that piano player was on fire that night best accompaniment filling all the gaps beautifully not to mention opening the piece and his solo.

Merci d’avoir remis cette audio il est l’un des meilleurs jamais faire par Roy hargrove et son crew ❤️ love you

この曲を聴くと心がざわざわして、感動して、涙が出てきます。なんでだろう。前にも書いてる人がいましたが、こんな感動があるなら、もっと生きたい、命を燃やしたいって思います。

Thank god this is back up. Someone put this on Spotify

Can you just hear the JOY in this music ? !!!

In case anyone wants to know, solo line at 9:34 is the first phrase of Segment, by Charlie Parker. Glorious reference from Justin Robinson!

This is the second time it got taken down smh. Thank you for reuploading this masterpiece

I listen to the full gig on repeat everytime I've got to take a train. Listened to the full gig like 50 fking times no joke, got all the solos in my head. This gig is amazing

Dont what this song is saying but i listened to this countless nights after my uncle died.... gave me solace and much needed closure this masterpiece is in my❤ 4Life

RIP Roy. Thank you for the art and music.

Will never tire of this. Every musician at the top of their game

RIP Mr.Roy Hargrove ... for about a year I probably listened to this every day still phenomenal !!! Too bad the live video is gone from RU-vid... again phenomenal !!!

Phew...complete Eargasm! Sooo smooth

first music in a while to make me genuinely happy to be alive to have heard this

It is just absolutely amazing !!!

One of the most memorable parts of the original video is look on Roy's face when Justin runs his last breathless line during his solo. He is so happy and amazed at the same time.

R.I.P. Mr Roy Hragrove. Découvert trop tard

Once lIstened to Mr. Hargrove talk about how good he, or anyone his age, had to be to "sit in" back when he was coming up through the ranks. Respect.

Simply lovely, lovely... Strasbourg St. Denis without question is about a beautiful French woman that captivated Roy to the point of putting his experiences with her in music and unquestionably one can feel the intense, "Vibe"!

Hello, I want to thank you for the reupload. It's my absolut favorite version of this beautiful piece!!!:)

i've looked for this video for so long. thanks for the re upload. I cant live without it

I am so inspired by this composition I have written lyrics and tuned my instrument to the rhythms of the storg being told, the conversation the emotions expressed! I dont think I feel

9:34 Yardbird reference, this version is the best. The studio recording was good but this is RAW. Glad you kept the recording online, I miss watching it too but this is great.

Can't get much better than this!!!!!

For the sake of all that is holy and right and joyous and musically magical, and out of respect to RH & this amazing quintet PUT THE ORIGINAL FOOTAGE BACK UP!! Please… 🙏🏼

thanks for uploading this version! i would be lost without it

so sad they took the video down, it was great also

One of the best jazz quintet performances I’ve seen!

My absolute favorite Roy hargrove tune

This is my daily medicine ❤❤❤❤ this is one mad video live performance from Roy Hargrove

I wish they would actually play the live version of this instead of the freeze frames (slideshow). This is a funky tune and the musicians deserve to be showcased. I love this song.

THANK YOU SO MUCH

I just wonder if the people sitting down before the concert knew they were about to be blessed to hear this live, in real time.

This here is FIRE. Music you can feel in your soul.

The pure joy and virtuosity on this. Damn.

Thanks for the reupload! I had this specific version stuck in my head ever since it was removed!
