I'm a fan of Quincy Johnes. This week was the birthday of this North American legend who knows how to play the cuíca (a Brazilian musical instrument), among many other instruments. There are 91 years of pure talent as a composer, arranger, multi-instrumentalist and producer. Much love, dear Quincy Johnes!
RIP Quincy Jones who originally released this in 1962, but was revitalised when it was used in the Austin Powers movie, reaching a new generation who had never heard it before
Thank you, Jeshun! This came up as recommended (along with The Wiz) and I was wreaking my brain on what movie used this awesome piece of Q's! My favorite song of his, What Good Is A Song, truly resonates ❤
That was Clark Terry. If you check Q's detailed discography you will see him as a regular. Check out his career-- a great in his own right. (Nickname: "Mumbles") Johnny Carson occasionally would grant him a spot to do his thing while in the Tonight Show band. (until 1972). Clark Terry also was a very serious mentor to many young musicians, tutoring and providing instruments.
The guy playing the alto sax solo is Phil Woods. He was considered to be a successor to Charlie Parker after he died. The instrument the guy had his hand in was funny. For the longest time I thought it was a wind instrument. Quincy Jones was like Jerry Goldsmith in the experimentation of sounds. He brought new sounds and new instruments to his music. He used a bassoon in the song “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’” in the iconic Michael Jackson album Thriller.
The man sitting alone with the white hat is none other than the cool cool cat Mr. Clark Terry, who Quincy used to take horn lessons from when he was a boy. Amazing that their friendship endures to this very day. As heart warming as it is fabulous.
Thanks for the 411. I thought that gentleman LOOKED familiar. What a true Jazz phenom...VERY cool. And that Q what an ICON he is. BEAUTIFUL MAN, HUMANITARIAN and dad.
They just might be two of the coolest cats in showbiz. I would give anything to meet either of them and listen to their story's and see what it was like to live the music called jazz.
There were quite a few well known jazz musicians in this band...some have recorded with Quincy in some of his original big band recordings. Phil Woods, Hubert Laws, Jerome Richardson, Clark Terry.....
Essa composição me proporciona uma sensação muito especial, de arrepiar a alma, um jazz cheio de swing só poderia ter a mão abençoada do eterno mestre QJ.
That’s a fluegelhorn. It has a very mellow sound compared to a regular trumpet. And it can blend in nicely with an ensemble. Scatting was popular before rap. Everyone in the jazz scene loved it.
Jazz was like in the Soviet Union. But the authorities tried to ban аmerican music and we are playing it, changed the name of the author. So our band from Vladivostok played bossa nova Quincy Jones, as the music of Soviet composer Yuri Saulsky. And everything was fine, no problems
The guy with the black cap playing he sax is all-time great Phil Woods. The guy with the white cap playing trumpet is another all-time great - Clark Terry.
Grady Tate on drums, Frank Wess on piccolo e tenor sax, Phill Woods and Jerry Dodgion on alto sax, Clark Terry on fluguelhorn, Steve Turre on trombone . Simply GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@clarksta123 It is a Flugelhorn (same fingering and range as a trumpet, different mouthpiece and a progressive flare like a tuba) The guy playing it is Clark Terry (aka Mumbles).
This is big band jazz and it's American with Brazilian influence! It was written by an American and is played by Americans. I don't understand why you have to put someone down who makes a correct and valid point; get your facts right.
My understanding of issuses has advanced quite a lot by watching this video. I hope to have used it in a fair way. Thank you Qunicy Jones and his great band, Mr Letterman and his team, everybody at CBS TV and thank you HammondDTV7.

That crazy instrument that makes that cherp, or yell, or screech, or whoo sound is a cuíca. It's a Brazilian instrument. You're welcome.
It’s sounds like a straw in and out of a McDonald’s cup, I love it
O instrumento é a nossa famosa "cuíca". Ela "ronca", em sons graves e agudos.😊
thanks for the education
Phil Woods on the alto solo, Clark Terry on trumpet and vocal!!!!
Amazing. Long Live Quincy!

@MarcSchnapp cool, thanks. I'll check that out.
I've heard this melody everywhere but I never knew it was Quincy's. I also love Bossa Nova. Great one!
I also just found out after maybe 20 years
R.I.P Quincy Jones
I think you should respect the man with the musical talent that being in such an ensemble deserves. Quincy Jones is the man!
Absolute legend learned
Trumpet hanging out at jazz bars at 16 ended done everything there is in the music industry almost 30 Grammys
Terrible grammar but I get what you mean.
We're playing this in our school's jazz band. Honestly, it's one of the best we've ever played.
The most awesome conducting I've ever seen!
I agree!
This Quincy jones man! I think he's trying his best to save this planet. Great composer and arranger!
Wow, I just completely rediscovered the song with this out of the world version!

This is a great piece. And I so enjoy watching and listening to an orchestra that is having fun. These guys were having a blast!
I first heard this Bossa Nova in 1967. I still enjoy listening to it.
A jazz masterpiece !

+Corey Cavalier - Phil Woods on alto! Holy crap!

@@Berkleesaxman Looks like Steve Turre in the trombone section and maybe Bob Millikan or Brian Lynch in the trumpets.
Happy Birthday GOAT
RIP Quincy! Magnificent live version! ❤
Saravá Quincy Jones!!
This is one of my 4-year old sons favourite pieces of music. He calls it the Penguin song :-)
That is a "cuíca", a Brazilian instrument. That sound is produced by rubbing a lightly wet cloth to a little wood piece attached to the drumhead.
African* instrument
Look it up, definitely brazilian 🤣@@biancaross4150
Definitely Brazilian you can look it up @@biancaross4150
@@biancaross4150 Both, and there are Portuguese and Spanish as well!
RIP Mr Jones. Thanks for the music.

The 'woo' at the end of it, 4:18, i do believe is the most perfect 'woo' I've ever heard! Rick Flair would be proud.

Quincy Jones é simplesmente um gênio essa canção é a bossa nova com alma jazzista e traços da soul music...Simplesmente demais!
This song has so much Mojo, YEAH BABY!
RIPクインシージョーンズ、明るいこの曲こそ、彼の出立にはふさわしい。ゆかりのミュージシャンで派手に奏でてほしい。

Rest In Paradise Legend ❤️✝️
wait a tick? that means I'm single again!!!!!
I love that 'monkey sound'. It sounds so cool! What instrument is that?!
It’s a cuica (kweeka). A drum with a stick attached to the head. the noises are a combination of scraping down the stick and the tension of the head.
And it's an instrument from Brazilian samba music. There is a pandeiro in the orchestra, from the samba music too.
Look it up: cuíca
Cuíca
@indyenna Thank You so very much! I can't find it everywhere. You're great, thanks for help!:)
Groovy！！ Phil Woods Clark Terry
