when ( on PBS Nancy Wilson interviewer ) Nancy Wilson ( jazz singer ) interviewed Charlie 'Bird' Parker ( alto great ), Paul Desmond was there, taking it in.
Imagine spending an evening with this quartet playing live in the bar, you just chilling with a bottle of favourite poison and good friends to appreciate this with.
We would probably not say a word to each other during the whole concert and I would spend it crying and trying to not be noisy. I can't imagine seeing them on live, I would just cry.
You know, I always listen to this song when I lose someone I held close for so long…a friend, girlfriend, or a family member. But the beauty of this song reminds me that although it’s painful, it’s for the better. I realize this especially during Brubecks solo, but I realize the beauty of our time together through Desmond’s solo. Thank you gentlemen of the quartet, and happy listening everyone!
Dave Brubeck is the ambassador of Jazz for the entire world. He is the greatest Jazz Musician and the leader of the greatest Jazz Band ever walked the face of this planet. Joe Morello is certainly the greatest drummer with his thematic, storytelling, never played the same thing twice, colorful, phenomenal technique that used 100 percent musically - a rare talent, Paul Desmond and Gene Wright are also certainly among the greatest. I am lucky enough having met, got to know, and taken lessons from Joe Morello in Elizabeth, New Jersey in early 70's.
Kazim acar hI you wright your list i of favourite jazz players like a yumy recipe for a chocolate cake ....All the ingredients are added ,,,,, what a treat lol xx
D.Brubeck Quartet was all about Paul Desmond. I am sure D.Brubeck was a great leader, great musician, great persona, a hard worker and really worldwide ambassador of Jazz. If it were not D.Brubeck, P.Desmond's life/career would be even shorter. However, I have always thought that D.Brubeck's style was so restricted, so predictable, may be due to his classical background. It was Desmond's magic that kept their music run like a river. That is my subjective opinion.
I'm a Japanese and it sounds to me like French classical music.（remembering Dave‘s mentor was fabulous Dalius Millhaud）They always create ＆ play very difficult tunes so easily. Wonderful musicianship……
@@felixlgq it's not supposed to be Japanese music.its a fusion album with slight hints of Japanese music culture.. I mean if u can't hear the Japanese-inspired piano in this than you need to get your ears checked.
Dave Brubeck had an uncanny knack for reaching into a cultural milieu and extracting something of its soul ... Having been to Japan a number of times, I am easily transported there again with this haunting and exquisite piece. Truly one of his best and not usually listed among them.
I heard Dave play this live in the early 90’s at Binghamton University and my girlfriend (who is not a big fan of jazz) was absolutely rapt with tears streaming down her face. He had such a brilliant touch and sensitivity to tone
Did someone notice how everything is perfect in this version? One single wave of beauty. 4 musicians playing one into the other like one single entity. Even the gesture of Dave’s fingers on the piano and Paul delivering an unbelievable performance like he’s talking or just breathing, showcasing his best qualities climbing on peaks and slipping releases that make perfectly sense in this infinte magic hook. I’ve never had something like this with any song..where I feel it so much and I go with them on their wave. Great esteem for these quartet.
I see your point John Doe...I do imagine myself with my friends and a good bottle of wine in your favorite bar ... and these folks...such a supreme moment in life !
A while ago, I read a comment which is worth reposting here. Unfortunately, I can not remember the name of the person who posted it first, but here it goes: “do you know why they are wearing suits? Because jazz is serious business”
SO good to see this in great quality. Great camera angles considering alot of stuff filmed in the sixties wasnt filmed with a musicians eye. I frikin love that song. 20 big ups to you for posting
if it's not one of the most beautiful saxophones I've ever heard, I don't know what is

I agree
Desmond was THEE Master.
Beautiful player and instrument hehe

add some weed and we have perfect evening ;)
Ciao

Reading it 8 years later during lockdown, how sad and inaccessible it sounds..
With a girl
Paul Desmond’s solo on this one melts my heart ✌️
Desmond’s solo is extremely tasteful in this one
Everytime I see him, I discover true music 🎼🎼🎶
Top best saxs solo ever

Paul Desmond has enlightened my life.

Desmond is the star of this piece. Arguably the best improvised piece of saxophone ever performed. Musical delicacy.
Never forget
Koto song.
With the fullness
of your heart.
Had the good fortune of watching Dave Brubeck live at the Barbican, London. Those were the days... I’m so grateful for today.

It's his songs that made me wanted to know more about Jazz and his pieces are the best out there!

“Run like a river”. Great description.
Quel son magnifique pour un enregistrement de 1964 ! Paul Desmond précis et émouvant. Brubeck audacieux et revigorant.

I always had the impression that the songs from "Jazz Impressions of Japan" didn't sound like japanese music, but it is a good album anyway.
Felix Galeano Agreed.

Paul said "I use to rely on Dave's piano". He was so silly. He's the best saxophonist ❤️❤️❤️
this fucking tune puts the pieces of my sole together in music and I feel like a greater human for having heard it
I went to the shoe repairman and had my sole put together.
i can't believe this song puts your shoes together, what a song
Minor blues with an eastern touch. I love this group on a minor blues.
Fantastic!!
Audrey by Paul Desmond as well. It is in such a minor blues that you can feel the whole musicality in himself. So beautiful!
Desmond solo is one of the best alto solo i've ever heard. Beautiful, mystic.
Dave is the king of transition. A complete mental/physical rollercoaster.
5:18 - 5:25 God what a smooth transition 🙏🏼
delicacy
It is a pity Dave is not British he would have a Knighthood, well he's in heaven now, god bless him!!
Paul Desmond's sax sounding just as he wanted it... 'like a dry martini'
Gordons gin , ice lemmon and lime ,,,,,, hopefully the glass will never empty ? Just like this divine Koto Song ,,,, lol xx
Tears come to my eyes each time I listen to this marvelous music . RIP Dave ! Thank you so much
The sound of jazz-heaven.Absolutely genius...
It's so nice to hear dave take a quiet contemplative solo.
YES!

Brubeck's genius was endless and we are all much poorer for his loss.
un jazz intemporel, hors du temps. A écouter et ré-écouter sans fin.
🎼🎶Dave Brubeck the great master of jazz piano 🎶a perfect virtuoso that I listen to for the love of music🎶🎵🎶
This piece and Bluette are my favorite Brubeck-Desmond conspiracies.
Check out "audrey"
those fingers not only hit the G minor, BUt also the G spot Rip Davie B
I heard Dave play this live in the early 90’s at Binghamton University and my girlfriend (who is not a big fan of jazz) was absolutely rapt with tears streaming down her face. He had such a brilliant touch and sensitivity to tone
They weave a beautiful six minutes.
Dave somehow gets the strangest sounds from a piano. Absolutely amazing!

Great esteem for these quartet.
I thought his playing in the middle of the keyboard suggested a mixture of bright warm and cold colours interplaying.
take 5 is great and all that but this is like a whole different level. just goes to show the versatility of mr brubeck
Paul Desmond...My misty poet...
DiosDesmond, Paul Desmond was a genius, one of the greatest American musicians of all time, a gem of refinement and sublime poetic elegance.
Intemporel. Ce morceau traverse le temps, toujours aussi mélodieux.
I love saxophone, always, and also here, just in this song, I love piano more
No tengo palabras... les había oído pero, no había visto ningún video hasta hoy . Y si no me imagino que sería verlos en directo .¡ IRREPETIBLES!!👏👏👏
Great , a wonderful performance of Dave brubeck and Paul Desmond !! Unforgettable record, beautiful. Hebert Perez Garcia from The Netherlands
BLOWN AWAY WITH THIS ITS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC !!!!! ❤❤
Exceptional
Try as I might, I can't listen to this without closing my eyes for a few seconds
Never heard this before. Very beautiful!
I'm in the perfect mood for this, right now.
I see your point John Doe...I do imagine myself with my friends and a good bottle of wine in your favorite bar ... and these folks...such a supreme moment in life !
desmonds solo is so good in this version
this as to be a very dreamy tune suitable for every one that loves and adores jazz ....wow ....
ahhhh I wish I was your friend
.
.
.
obviously, because you are listening to this masterpiece!
Such a beautiful sound, those rolling Arpeggios really accentuate the sound of the Hirajoshi scale.
So many American musicians I miss but I have to say both Dave Brubeck and Paul Desmond are somewhere at the top of the list !
The melody and chords between 2.50 and 2.58 are just perfection. That chord at 2.54 gets me every damn time!
Don't feel bad if you were there. You are blessed. I'm not religious. Except for music. music..
just takin' the melody as 'far as it will go...,' or, feeling inspired!
Inimaginable
SENSACIONAL !! BRUBECK & DESMOND UMA DUPLA SUPER ENTROSADA,
ALÉM DE EXCELENTES MÚSICOS.
Brings back memories of a looong time ago...
I love the many versions versions of this song.
Wow❤
guess, Desmond is always in love - wonderful
I don't know why but it reminds me of Paris in the sixties
C'est a ça que la musique est essentielle.................... a nous prendre par la main et à nous faire visiter des pays chimériques !
The blend of two styles of music is amazing, I love when music undergoes fusion by the hands of master musicians
Masterpiece by Masterclass of this artists...
Die Welt würde, hörte sie zu, fröhlicher und friedlicher.
beautiful interpretation
This is not Music.IS TREASURE !!!! SPLENDID
My love 😮💨
Dave Brueck y su cuarteto, son unos genios!

Mesmerizing
Este tema es bellísimo y sin duda, el vídeo con La mejor interpretación ❤️🎵🎶
Spettacolari.... Very Amazing❤️
This is music.
I sought out this song because Renee Rosnes trio with Lewish Nash and Peter Washington played it earlier this year. Great song.
Best Tune of All Time = Done by A Genius = Take 5

Soul poetry.... magic!

TBloopner This guy was a pure genius , his piano playing is beyond compare ,,,such utter talent lol xx
this one is so gorgeous!
Damn, I LOVE this band!
Brubeck and desmond were so good together it's like they were brothers or something
They went way back. Brubeck and Desmond worked together more than a decade before Take Five.
that obsessions with the directors...Make a shot with his whole head! enough with the close up! great one but i need the big picture, too!
ART!!!
SO good to see this in great quality. Great camera angles considering alot of stuff filmed in the sixties wasnt filmed with a musicians eye.
I frikin love that song.
20 big ups to you for posting
So blue. just feel the raindrops falling in the dojo
Thanks so much for uploading this :)
One of my favourite pieces of music, I can never hear enough recordings of the classic quartet performing this :P
Amzing song and great HD quality my friend!!!

God bless the RUclips algorithm, I have very eclectic tastes and it knows me better than the wife!
Me too! Without the wife.
Love that music, especially this title.....
Hear the great version from the album "We`re all together again for the first time". Great! I was there!
I do. You' re right - gotta be one of the best albums
Sad day.........
Molto avvolgente e che bravura..... !
Todo este disco es uno de los de mi vida
this is one of the best thing I have ever heard.
I had forgotten why I got those black horn-rimmed glasses in the late 1960s.
