My dad, rest his soul was a tenor player, and mom, rest her soul was an amazing trumpet player...I feel nestled in the safety of home with this recording
Daphne: I think I know what you mean. My Dad was a percussionist. Well. He was a dry cleaner by profession and a percussionist by God's grace, but sometimes I hear Congas or Tympani on a recording and it sounds like his voice to me.
Jonah Walt, so the way you appreciate music is by slowing it down and checking if the player’s time is good? Man, I think you misunderstood something...
Forever appreciative of my high school music teacher, Mr. Bradford Hayes, for teaching us students aboutall of these great musicians!! RIHP Miles Davis & Charlie Parker!❤❤
Of all the many, many versions of this classic Dizzy Gillespie composition, this one stands out like a glittering diamond. The infamous "time stands still" solo by Bird captured here in fullest regalia will stand forever as unequaled. Also, the fabulously unique thrash style drumming by Roy Porter sets this recording apart from all others. Miles somehow steals the limelight from an absentee Dizzy (whom I prefer as a trumpeter personally) and puts his signature on a composition that Gillespie would become rightfully famous for. In short, this Dial records recording merits continual replays and contemplation from all who are prone to being appreciative of the glory that was Bebop.
The masterful manner in which Parker plays riffs then settles back into the melody, and the finesse the band demonstrates when joining back in is awe inspiring, unlike the endless and tubeless canoodling and "holding one note for 45 minutes by circular breathing" feats performed by the likes of Kenny G and his ilk.
For people that say "jazz is old people music", "its not relevant today", "its just a bunch of random notes played together" etc just listen to this. This is music to dance to, its just pure fun. That's whats wrong with jazz of today, its put in the same category as classical music i.e. something to be revered and respected that only people with a higher IQ will understand. Jazz isn't just something you listen to when going to a fine dining restaurant, to me its the music I listen to when I need to bust out some moves and break free after a long day's work. Its just pure fun. Edit - 2022 update: I don't know what cringe I was talking about 7 years ago lol. Please ignore, just the ramblings of a silly teen. Still love jazz though.
Well Bebop is the transitional form between Swing and the modal and avant -garde schools, so yeah, its pretty dance-able. However, Jazz evolved well beyond the sixties and influenced everything from Hip-Hop, to Hardcore Punk, and Math Rock. While it may not be apparent to most, Jazz is more relevant today than it ever was.
This is one of the most played Jazz tracks, it has been covered by a whose who in Jazz, written by Dizzy Gillespie, amazingly it has actually been covered by at least 25 various artists over the years, that's the measure of this track
@@Haxprocess, I recommend you to do transcriptions of solos by ear. If you want to devote youself to jazz, you need to "copy" different styles of jazz solos. It will help you to create your original licks, phrases, etc. In my opinion, transcribing by ear is the Best way to become a good jazz musician!)) Good luck in bebop! ✌️
@@jazzcinemaspecialist6510 yes and ive learned a lot by ear (not the videos on my channel tho bcz those are old), but ive realised how essential ear training is.
@@Haxprocess In a harmony class we analyzed a couple of his transcribed solos. The level of harmonic and melodic thought behind his improvisation is stunning.
What I love about Jazz is the collaborations,almost family tree aspect of it. Parker - Miles - Hancock and Shorter for example. The pooling of talent on many occasions meant listeners are spoilt for choice
i cant believe i stumbled across this masterpiece on the same day it was recorded. march 28th. im madly in love with the musicality of it too, like just watching drum covers of it gives me chills and makes me JUMP while im laying here in my bed, im gonna have to revolutionize this song into my own 😳
1. Miles Davis (trumpet) Charlie Parker (alto saxophone) Lucky Thompson (tenor saxophone) Dodo Marmarosa (piano) Arvin Garrison (guitar) Vic McMillan (bass) Roy Porter (drums) 2. swing/ bebop 3. 32 bar popular song form 4. I love miles use of the mute to copy Dizzy's performance of it. I also like parkers sax solos to add a twist to this great jazz number.
I have a far greater appreciation for jazz from watching that Ken Burns Jazz series on PBS. I'm sure there are people who didn't like it or felt it was incomplete for one reason or another, but I was able to gain a perspective of how jazz developed, who was important and why.
I don't recall how many different versions of this tune there is or in how many genres,I still get excited when I hear it.from Dizzy to Miles to Chaka to Al Jarreau to Scrimsire(A re-edit) to Ella etc
OK to once and for all clarify things, this particular song is the version that was sampled by Gang Starr for "words I manifest" and they credit the Miles Davis version of "Night in Tunisia" while Nice and Smooth uses the Bird and Dizzy version for" down the line" along with "Ashley's Roachclip" intro by the Soul Searchers!
I'm lovin this here! Love that crazy bit played by Charlie. A very nice rendition of this song by Chaka Khan is what brought me here. I'm lovin me some Charlie Bird Parket!
I just read a Julio Cortazar's book titled "El Perseguidor" (The Persecutor) that narrate fateful and somber days of live of that prodigious and talented musician, and awake my interest to find more about his legacy :)
Just make sure to practice it enough. If the vamp is what's worrying your, try to take it slow at first. My biggest issue with that bit was the intonation, so I'd advise you to play it with a bow first. unless you play bass guitar, in which case that wouldn't really work.
Told jokes for 8th Army Jazz band as they... took a break. All that Jazz club Seoul 1990. Drank Chivas with a Korean chic that couldn’t get enough of me! And like the song suddenly it was over. We were too hot to cool down. Specialist Peter Skinner at your service! My brother Richard will be along soon. At 10 years old we did a vocal version of this at a bar mitzvah in Beverly Hills.
This version is much smoother and has a better flow than Dizzy's version. Love it! Reminds me of that Cosby Show episode where Cliff calls into an auction to buy Charlie Parkers original version
this song is a hommage to one of the greatest Jazz festivals in the world wich is Tabarka jazz festival, its such an honor to be honored by the one and only
In a JSP box set I have of Charlie Parker it says... Miles Davis: Trumpet Charlie Parker: Alto Sax Lucky Thompson: Tenor Sax Dodo Marmarosa: Piano Arvin Garrison: Guitar Vic McMillan: Bass Roy Porter: Drums Hollywood, March 28, 1946 Hope that clears it up.
For those of you who are interested, here's the line-up for this recording: Alto sax: Bird (duh) Tenor Sax: Lucky Thompson Trumpet: Miles Davis Piano: Dodo Marmarosa Guitar: Arv Garrison Bass: Viv McMilllan Drums: Roy Porter
Musicians:
Charlie Parker - Alto Miles Davis - Trumpet Lucky Thompson - Tenor Roy Porter - Drums
Dodo Marmarosa - Piano Arvin Garrison - Guitar Vic McMillian - Bass
Recorded: March 28, 1946
Thank you!
You are the best kind of person
Bless your kind heart.
yup
Thx
I'm from Tunisia and this is the first time I hear this, thanks Gang Starr
Si si, on connait bien ce morceau en Tunisie.
My dad, rest his soul was a tenor player, and mom, rest her soul was an amazing trumpet player...I feel nestled in the safety of home with this recording
that is an amazing story
I find that heartwarming, imagining two musician parents who both played jazz together
Daphne: I think I know what you mean. My Dad was a percussionist. Well. He was a dry cleaner by profession and a percussionist by God's grace, but sometimes I hear Congas or Tympani on a recording and it sounds like his voice to me.
+white Tigress...yeahhhhh :)
Daphne Iodice May they rest in sweet blessed peace.
Can't stop listening to that break. And every time I'm still like "...dafuq 0_0" ... no words...
That *Thing* Charlie Parker does at 1:18 - 1:24 is why he's a genius.
Agreed
If you slow it down, his time is still perfect
Jonah Walt, so the way you appreciate music is by slowing it down and checking if the player’s time is good? Man, I think you misunderstood something...
It sounds like the sax part in Dolphin Shoals from Mario Kart
@@mouse_eater
Dolphin shoals takes bebop phrasing
Remember the first time I discovered this song how I felt so proud to be a tunisian and play jazz at the same time...
Everyone's talking about the alto break... I think 0:39 is one of the greatest melodies ever!
yes, Charlie’s little sweet melody at.39 is incredible
Indeed, Charlie Parker was awesome....
These ballads give me chills thinking about my old man. Thank God for music. The bridge to all of our beautiful memories.
Forever appreciative of my high school music teacher, Mr. Bradford Hayes, for teaching us students aboutall of these great musicians!! RIHP Miles Davis & Charlie Parker!❤❤
holy fuck, that half chorus at 1:17
people don't do that anymore, even then i guess, but that phrase is unreal
dude doesn't ever breathe
circular breathing my friend
Max Roach's time completely blows me away...along with all the rest of the monumental greatness of this masterpiece. A byegone era.
yes bird was a god at circular breathing.
this can be done without circular breathing its only 4 bars. you just need straight and controlled air stream
I'm pretty sure Charlie Parker didn't use circular breathing.
Of all the many, many versions of this classic Dizzy Gillespie composition, this one stands out like a glittering diamond. The infamous "time stands still" solo by Bird captured here in fullest regalia will stand forever as unequaled. Also, the fabulously unique thrash style drumming by Roy Porter sets this recording apart from all others.

i like how this song is catchy but not generic. Music at its best
The masterful manner in which Parker plays riffs then settles back into the melody, and the finesse the band demonstrates when joining back in is awe inspiring, unlike the endless and tubeless canoodling and "holding one note for 45 minutes by circular breathing" feats performed by the likes of Kenny G and his ilk.
@@nyingma13 Hey man, don't talk shit about Kenny G. Have you heard his rendition on Giant Steps??
@@acidbebop3593 LOL!!!
The G in Kenny G stands for jazz Giant, he would stomp all of these fake musicians with a single thought if he weren't so benevolent
When as Tunisian I discover this... i can't tell you what i feel guys :D
:)
I played a version of this in middle school jazz band. It was so much fun to play!
For people that say "jazz is old people music", "its not relevant today", "its just a bunch of random notes played together" etc just listen to this. This is music to dance to, its just pure fun.

I agree
Who the fuck has ever said that
acemachine26 nice profile picture ;)
acemachine26 it’s latin and jazz
this is the coolest jazz song ever imo
This piece has always been about the solos , it speaks clearly about the musician's ability to "groove" within the notes! Outstanding!
This was a standard for my high school jazz band in the late 80s/early 90s; great to hear the original masters!
Gang Starr first single ” Words I manifest” had sampled from Charlie Parker and miles David song A Night in Tunisia 👏
Loving this!! The Jazz Masters, may they continue RIHP Miles Davis & Charlie Parker!
This is one of the most played Jazz tracks, it has been covered by a whose who in Jazz, written by Dizzy Gillespie, amazingly it has actually been covered by at least 25 various artists over the years, that's the measure of this track
Deux jazzmen absolument incontournables interprètent magnifiquement une sublime mélodie. Quel génie!
Une soirée à Tabarka une nuit d'aout 1995 lors du festival de jazz,tu étais encore vivant!
Two American geniuses. What a privilege to listen to this. 🎺🎺🎺
parker plays faster than you can think
Faster than the speed of delight.
I have a book with his solos. I'm suprised people were able to write that stuff down...

The famous alto break: a masterpiece in jazz history

It's nice to hear Miles as a jitterbug. This will stay in my head all day now. Thank you.
This Song is just Metal as Hell - Imagine Death played this Masterpiece
The cymbal in miles' solo is crazy.

Wonderful. Atmospheric. Exciting. Really excellent jazz played by astoundingly gift musician-geniuses.
I'm from Tunisia ✌❤
Me to
This is such a fine tune...I love the way these cats do it...
대가들의 향연. 예전 같으면 상상도 못했을 공연을 지금 보고 있네요^^
I have a far greater appreciation for jazz from watching that Ken Burns Jazz series on PBS. I'm sure there are people who didn't like it or felt it was incomplete for one reason or another, but I was able to gain a perspective of how jazz developed, who was important and why.
Ahhhh. Incredibly talented musicians, playing and creating these comforting sounds. Quite swell
Thanks to The Cosby Show or I wouldn't know a thing about this masterpiece!
that solo break. blew me away
Respect from tunisia
"una noche en tunez" marcando el ritmo de una fusión jazzistica incomparable. Algo de lo mejor de Miles Davis. El unico.
Omg What an incredible genre I really love, a pleasant sound to the ear
I don't recall how many different versions of this tune there is or in how many genres,I still get excited when I hear it.from Dizzy to Miles to Chaka to Al Jarreau to Scrimsire(A re-edit) to Ella etc

This is pure perfection from the masters of bop.👌
THESE ARE WORDS THAT I MANIFEST I MANIFEST RIP GURU!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Miles' tone and style are unmistakably different from Dizzy Gillespie's. This is obvious even in the first couple of notes.
what does this tune with me? tears in my eyes and goosebumps all the time! OMG! I LOVE IT!
I was trying to figure out which version was stuck in my head. It was this one. Thank you!
hip hop legend g u r u brought me here music across many generes
It was a Premo beat.
Yea. They were in a group together. Gangstarr
yeaaaah, I recognized it from first second of tune!
I'm a new dad who's new lil baby loves this music...
I'm lovin this here! Love that crazy bit played by Charlie. A very nice rendition of this song by Chaka Khan is what brought me here. I'm lovin me some Charlie Bird Parket!
Ой, как красиво! Аж, мурашки!
Miles Davis was a true legend!...A Night In Tunisia is one of my favorite MD songs!
Miles, Charlie, Max Roach, Marmorosa on piano...1947, the best jazz album I ever heard.
That was the best Jazz ever , 50s cool jazz period , i just LOVE this sound !!
Hi from Tunisia 🇹🇳
for those of you wondering who the guitarist is I believe its Arv Garrison
como explicar tamanha genialidade desses dois? sem palavras!!!
memorable ! Amazing , timeless recording.. thank you.
Can't believe this is my first time hearing this.
fantastic! You can understand where this is going unlike more free form jazz. Repeated motifs and such. It's almost swing at times. Nice :)
El PROFESOR
I just read a Julio Cortazar's book titled "El Perseguidor" (The Persecutor) that narrate fateful and somber days of live of that prodigious and talented musician, and awake my interest to find more about his legacy :)

+Eber Retamar Do you know who was referred like "Baby Lennox" in this novel?
No, I don't know =/
+Eber Retamar oww :( thanks
+Fabian Robles . Pero el cuento hace relación principalmente a Charlie Parker no?
I'm 14, and I'm trying to play this on the bass.
Wish me luck.
Good luck! :)

Peddits Pikmin Good Luck!
I'm 13 and I can play Donna Lee on the tuba. I hope you do as well as I did!
Thanks for the motivation everyone! I actually played in my schools jazz band concert and played a night in Tunisia, and it went well! Thank you all!
They two live !
Thanks a lot for one of the best solo of Bird !
it took me years to remember the name of the track & artist.... since i saved it in 2007 then deleted from my database.... thank you youtube :D
this was just amazing !
You know you did that stank face after that ungodly solo break
This song was way ahead of its time with a modern sounding melody. Timeless.
14 and Playing this for jazz band and having fun playing it!
Feeling good about my country now
Told jokes for 8th Army Jazz band as they... took a break. All that Jazz club Seoul 1990. Drank Chivas with a Korean chic that couldn’t get enough of me! And like the song suddenly it was over.

The spirit of bop !
many thanks
these are the words that i manifest i manifest-Guru Gang Starr 1989
Gänsehaut pur! Nimmt mich jedesmal voll mit! Einfach irre!
One of my favourite's
探してました最高です🚩♥️😘🎶🎵☯️☮️🇺🇲
This music is great!!
THE BEGINNING WAS SAMPLED BY GANGSTAR BACK IN THE LATE 80'S.
Take heed to the Words I Manifest. I believe that record was the first in hip hop to incorporate multiple jazz samples.
This version is much smoother and has a better flow than Dizzy's version. Love it! Reminds me of that Cosby Show episode where Cliff calls into an auction to buy Charlie Parkers original version
This music will transport you...North Africa...Harlem...depending...
from tunisia with love
this song is a hommage to one of the greatest Jazz festivals in the world wich is Tabarka jazz festival, its such an honor to be honored by the one and only

🇹🇳 summer nights in Tunisia. ...amazing 🏖🌴
Gang Starr brought me here from 1989.
Im tunisian and i love this
One of my personal favorites i love these guys
The Cosby Show introduced me to this song, in the episode, Cliff was competing with his friend to obtain the record of this song in an auction.
Words I Manifest by GangStarr brought me here. Awesome track.
I had the privilege of playing this once, it was AMAZING! (I play drum set)
I was about to say...
