I saw him in the mid sixties at the Vanguard when at the end of the last set he continued to play his tenor while he he packed up his other instruments. He was an amazing person, he did a lot of afternoon appearances so that young under age kids could experience his music and he always brought his band with him. One of the all time greats!

I am very jealous!

@shivasevananda8842 Год назад

My buddy Jimmi Hopps( Esprit) played drums with Brother Rahsaan and told me some fantastic stories about him !! What a blessing he was !!

When McCoy plays, the instrument is called FORTE.

@arthurroschbooksandmusic7700 Год назад

I still don't call him Rahsaan. I first heard him in Cleveland and immediately got his records on Mercury. "YOu Did It", etc. I was mesmerized. I was so in love! I bought every recording through "Rip Rag and Panic". After that..I don't know what happened. He died. He was a magician, a wonder worker, a swami, a genius! Think about the aforementioned album. Elvin Jones, Jaki Byard and Richard Davis. Are you kidding me? What an album that was!

@JazzVideoGuy Год назад

Rip Rig and Panic, on Limelight Records is incredible. How to go wrong with that rhythm section.

@arthurroschbooksandmusic7700 Год назад

@@JazzVideoGuy A great album! Those Limelights were good stuff.

@michaelbrickley2443 2 дня назад

He didn’t die until ‘78 if I remember correctly. So much more music after the 65 masterpiece. He didn’t make bad music even after the stroke. Saw him in Vermont in ‘77 and he was only playing one sax as his side was still paralyzed. His life was short and I’m not criticizing you, merely stating his entire catalog is gold. Shalom

@tonytonewharton Год назад

As another person commented, “ an absolute force of nature”. I was lucky enough to catch Rahsaan Roland Kirk at Sydney Town Hall Approx early 70’s. I still remember the concert. Such a unique and wonderful musician.

@chrisdelisle3954 Год назад

One of my 5 favorite sax players along with Coltrane, Dolphy, Rollins and Joe Henderson. "Bright Moments" and "Prepare Thyself To Deal With A Miracle" are probably my favorite albums of his. That said, most all of his albums have a varying degree of greatness and they're all worth a listen.

@JazzVideoGuy Год назад

Totally agree. Bright Moments is a masterpiece.

@ianbuxton8332 Год назад

@@JazzVideoGuy I've never heard that one, but I DID buy "Prepare Thyself .. " in the mid-'70s and instantly regretted it. I bought it on the basis of having heard a couple of B Irish B&W jazz documentaries, as a kid during the 1950s, at which juncture, at the age of 12 or 13, I found him STEAMINGLY BRILLIANT, so I'm (maybe mistakenly!) ASSUMING, Bret, that the EXCELLENT B&W clips which conclude your video are from roughly the same period( Many thanks as just about always!! That collaboration with Pharaoh was ALSO steaming !! Great stuff and please kee on keeping that kind of driving genius more widely known about! 👍😃👍😃👍😃👍😃👍😃👍😃👍😃👍😃👍😃👍😃

@BillBenzon Год назад

I saw him live three times. Once at the Morgan State Jazz festival in 1970 or so. He brought the audience to their feet when he went into the tag ending of "Hey Jude." A couple of years later I heard in the Famous Ballroom at Baltimore's Left Band Society. A couple of year after that at SUNY Buffalo. Someone called in a bomb threat at the end of the show. During the show he moved to the edge of the stage and played the tenor with one hand and held out the other so people could shake his hand. The most dynamic performer I've ever seen.

@JazzVideoGuy Год назад

So glad you had the opportunity to see him live. Quite an experience!

@BillBenzon Год назад

@@JazzVideoGuy Indeed it was. I wrote about the Morgan State performance in my book on Jazz, Beethoven's Anvil. If you search on "Ecstasy at Baltimore’s Left Bank Jazz Society" you can read about Rahsaan there, also Dizzy, Duke, Maynard, and Mingus. Diz strapped a conga around his waist and walked out into the audience. Came back with a bunch of kids who followed him on stage and danced.

@bobcosmic Год назад

I can remember seeing this back in '75 as if it was last year & it reminded me of the first time I ever heard jazz played on bagpipes but I had to do a double take as this was a man playing multiple woodwind instruments at the same time. A real colossus that transcended the sound world. It should really be titled the three tenors as the late great maestro Bill Watrous also played the tenor................trombone😉

thank you so much Bret for these timeless clips of these Masters. I had the honour of watching Roland Kirk perform at the Country Club Belsize Park London back in the day. He certainly made a massive impression on my young self that has stayed with me throughout life. A genius that I have never forgotten, always at the back of my mind for 50 years.

@bobblues1158 Год назад

There was lounge band in Las Vegas that burned Oleo and the trumpet player played electric bass with one hand and just torched a trumpet solo! Roland blew my mind and I saw/heard him every chance I could.

Ah, Vegas, the old days.

@klaus8456 Год назад

This particular performance of Pedal Up is just some of the most powerfull straight ahead heavy jazz, the highlight of the full broadcast. Bright Moments to me is a top 10 album, (not to belittle anything or missplace or idk how to say it) but to me its kind of is Rahsaan's A Love Supreme(not that its the same thing), its just a perfect moment in time capturing the true escense and mastery of the leader, a true offering to the higher beyond with an utmost important message to live by to all... Bright Moments!

I was born in 1960. When i was in my late teens i got " into" jazz music .my first purchase was a Dolphy double lp. Then i heard Rahsaan. I was smitten. Sadly he died shortly after that. I never got to see him live Tho i did see Mingus live twice in fact. Long live Roland Kirk

@jfreijser Год назад

There is a clip I remember, when he switches mainly to the tenor, moving his right hand perfectly to the top of the microphone to move it closer to the sax... Yes his sound explorations are unique and go beyond and further than that. Loved and adored every note he ever played ....

@Davett53 Год назад

I began listening to his music when I was in college, beginning in 1972. I collected Jazz albums, while I was attending OU, in Athens, Ohio. I had no idea he was born in Columbus, Ohio, at the time. I eventually attended The Ohio State University, in Columbus, Ohio, for graduate school in 1977. I met people there who lived in town, who said he'd pop in and play in his home town. Local Jazz venues, clubs and some outdoors events. If I had been lucky I could have seen him perform, unfortunately, he died in (maybe, December) of 1977, at age 42.

I loved Rahsaan from jumpstreet! It took me awhile to get to Rollins imagine that!. I wasn't mature enough to hear solo sax playing melody then busting the changes. Lol I got into Jazz related tunes before the actual artistry. People have to look at the artistry, expression. Rahsaan is look down as a charlatan to some , a wild man. Sonny was established before Coltrane and at one point the critics who first criticized Coltrane, wanted Sonny and (everybody else) to play like Coltrane! Sad many didn't understand Rahsaan but could not deny his musicianship.

I was curious about having Sonny Rollins together with Kirk because when I saw both of them at the Village Gate, Sonny took a breathtakingly brilliant set of solos for an hour and a half. When Kirk came on next, he was furious because sets usually lasted 45 minutes. He was so angry that he picked up a concert grand Steinway and crashed it down to the ground. (It was okay). Kirk went on to play a brilliant set of his own.

@gijsleffelaar908 Год назад

Pedal up

@ninidesbois Год назад

Hello Brett. The tenor mouthpiece is ok. I love the sound of the soprano. I was advised to buy a soprano mouthpiece just to do exercises. It's very hard on the zygomatic muscles. 😬And at the ninth minute + 11 seconds. I see the guy playing tenor, alto and soprano at the same time, knowing that you have to send enough air in the 3 instruments. It's crazy.
