- The Giants of Jazz are: Art Blakey, Thelonious Monk, Kai Winding, Dizzy Gillespie, Sonny Stitt, with Al McKibbon on bass gave a live performance on the Newport Jazz Festival October 31, 1971 in De Doelen Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
Thelonious Sphere Monk (October 10, 1917- February 17, 1982) was an American jazz pianist and composer. He had a unique improvisational style and made numerous contributions to the standard jazz repertoire, including "'Round Midnight", "Blue Monk", "Straight, No Chaser", "Ruby, My Dear", "In Walked Bud", and "Well, You Needn't". Monk is the second-most-recorded jazz composer after Duke Ellington.
Monk's compositions and improvisations feature dissonances and angular melodic twists and are consistent with his unorthodox approach to the piano, which combined a highly percussive attack with abrupt, dramatic use of switched key releases, silences, and hesitations.
Monk was renowned for a distinct look which included suits, hats, and sunglasses. He was also noted for an idiosyncratic habit during performances: while other musicians continued playing, Monk would stop, stand up, and dance for a few moments before returning to the piano.
Monk is one of five jazz musicians to have been featured on the cover of Time magazine (the others being Louis Armstrong, Dave Brubeck, Duke Ellington and Wynton Marsalis).

I have to bust you here. You left only one player’s name off the title. Of COURSE it would be the bass player. 🤦🏾♂️😉 It’s alllllllways the case. Give my man, the late Al McKibbon some love. ❤️
Christian, LOVE you brother!!! Blessings to you!
Thank you so much for that 👌🏿
Greetings from Uganda 🇺🇬👊🏿🖤
Thank you Christian, I was wondering who the bassist was! He was great!!
Thanks clearing that up!
Thanks for the add, as much important the track list is so the line up. Me, stay with this live revordings since I get to know them and catch the magic of the moment. I,ve heard of McKibbon with Cal Tjader in Summertime and now the puzzle is done. Thanks!!
Just goes to show - BEBOP is not licks as most young players think. It's the phrasing and the beat. My beloved teacher Mike Longo was Diz' pianist and started subbing for Monk when he got sick. I am so fortunate to have musical grandfathers like the guys in this video.
Bebop has roots in swing music and involves fast tempos, adventurous improvisation, complex harmonies and chord progressions, and a focus on individual virtuosity.
The movement originated during the early 1940s in the playing of trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie, guitarist Charlie Christian, pianist Thelonious Monk, drummer Kenny Clarke, and the most richly endowed of all, alto saxophonist Charlie “Bird” Parker.

With a glass of Piñot in one hand, a joint in the other, time travelling back to better musical days...
Caution, listeners: Distortion starts at 30:05, but don't despair. The music comes back at 30:50. And, oddly, the recording suddenly ends part way through the last piece. Otherwise, a great listen. What a lineup.
These interruptions are increasingly frequent in music on RUclips (and often the last song is cut off before the end) and authorize the suspicion that they are intentional. Why? To discourage audio recordings, which would then be incomplete and unusable for a demanding collector or enthusiast. And to make people sign some kind of "ad-free" contract (and certainly without interruptions). Business malice! That's why I put a "dislike", the only way of protesting that they understand!
The titles are:
01 Blue and Boogie 3:15
02 Epistrophy 18:00
03 Stardust 30:50
04 Lover Man 36:30
05 Dexterity 42:00
06: And then she stopped 48:00
All the way Groovy
My friend : you saved me for having to search for hours trying to find the songlist of his wonderful gig ! ... i'll have a good sleep tonight : thanks to you 😉
Where is Al McKibbon name in the title? Why would you leave his name out? They guy was a legend and killed it up there!
A rare public appearance of a hatless Monk! Thanks for the upload - haven’t heard this before and I love these musicians.
The Monk-Blakey pairing was always a special one.
Absolutely. Monk always said nobody understood his rhythmic concept as well as Bu.
I worked on the staff of the 1972 Bay Area Jazz Festival at the Oakland (Calif) Coliseum. I was in a room with these musicians and vividly remember driving Al McKibbon and Kai Winding to the soundcheck and back to the hotel/rehearsal facilities.
Cool!
Some of my favorites from over 50 years ago. I'm getting old but the music isn't. Something jazzy to chase away the January blues.

Thank you, man.
This is what need,.
I'm goin' with the blues here, this is what we are talking about.
Kai never sounded better!!
@thomasdwyer1622 Hello to you. Your comment I totally agree with.
Some of the greatest jazz musicians. I was lucky enough to see all of them in my youth.... Saw Dizzy many many times.... This concert is mesmerizing...
Blakely is using Hollywood Drums. They sound pretty good.
Good catch! I just assumed they were his standard maroon sparkle Gretsch Drums. I took a closer look! They sound good indeed, of course Art could make garbage cans sound good....
I once played a Hollywood set that belonged to Blakey and was later gifted by Bu to drummer Jesse "Cheese" Hameen, when Hameen let me sit-in with his band at a NYC gig. Could have been this very one, but i am not sure if Bu had more than one. Also Max Roach was sometimes seen on a Hollywood which was an inexpensive made in Italy drum set.
But no matter what set, those giants always sound like themselves.
Keith Outterbridge ...*Blakey.
Dizz was sooogood!
Playlist:
Miles Davis - Blue and Boogie
Thelonious Monk - Epistrophy
John Coltrane - Stardust
Johnny Griffin - Lover Man
Charlie Parker - Dexterity
Dizzy Gillespie - And then she stopped
dizzy inflates like the pillsbury dough boy every time he plays a note
…and he probably thought “hee hee” too!
Al McKibbon is an important part of this great group, can't leave him out... Thank you for posting, nice clip to have!
when the gods still walk down the streets in this fragile world!!!!!
At 14:29 Dizzy plays a variation of one of my favorite licks of his. He plays a very similar lick in Dizzy Atmosphere. I was literally thinking “I hope he plays that lick” and then all of sudden…! Had to rewatch a few times. Something about that lick just screams Dizzy.
Yeah kinda understand it
......and Blakey goes crazy!!!
Thanks so much ! Great ensemble ! I hope as fortunate enough to see many of the players in my life !
Sonny Stitt , was always a favorite sax player of mine ! One of the greats for sure !
I was lucky enough to see him at the Parisian room in LA shortly before he left us ( can't remember the exact date - old brain that I have ! )
The lighthouse cafe was happening in Hermosa beach , as was concerts by the sea in Redondo beach
I use to go to the Lighthouse in the late 50's and during the 60's. The Lighthouse is still open, but doesn't feature jazz anymore.
guys i found a drum solo at 15:45 the drums are my favorite part
I love they pop in with "Now Is The Time", for a brief few seconds, following that wonderful Trombone solo.
👏🏾👏🏾
Diz and Monk were two of the innovators who originated the style of bebop jazz. The other guys are also among the vanguard of musicians playing in that style. This is a fantastic group!
Masters ❤thanks for sharing ❤❤❤❤❤
I think this is the concert that was put on a record as “Giants of Jazz”. Bought it when I was 15 years old in 1976. Still own it.
That great double LP was recorded during the international tour these masters did under the Giants of Jazz name. The album had cuts from multiple performances and locations, as I recall. I don’t remember any being Newport Jazz Festival shows, as the banner indicates here. A very special happening that these giants spent that much time on tour together. Sadly, it was at least in part because of the precarious economics of jazz in the 1970s. The music soars nonetheless. Thank you for posting. It would be awesome if someone could compile an archive of all the live recordings captured from the Giants of Jazz tour. Magic.
What year was this !!
October 1971
Mamita querida!!, que epoca gloriosa, estaban todos vivos!!!, irrepetible!!!
Blue 'n' Boogie is a 1944 jazz original 12 bar blues in concert Bb . It was written by Dizzy Gillespie and Frank Paparelli. It can be found on Gillespie's 1955 compilation album ...
Blue 'n' Boogie was recorded in 1945.
Great quality!
I'm surprised that Dizzy and Kai played 2 of the songs that Sonny Stitt usually showcases:
Stardust and Loverman
Yes , Stitt is playing Stardust al feature on Miles Davis 1960 European Tour. Stitt was the wrong sideman for Miles.. thank God it did not last long.
Stitt is a good recommending for beginners, his very licks oriented and great articulate and musical approach.
But after that you have to take it to the next level . Almost boring listening to Stitt Solo on SO WHAT or Well You Needn’t. Everything is so right, no surprises….
@@thinktwice4565
Although “So What” is a bizarre tune for him, Stitt sounded excellent on that Miles Davis tour.
Trane himself essentially stated that Wardell Gray, Dexter Gordon, and Sonny Stitt were his initial tenor sax idols.
And while Stitt was neither a composer nor an innovator he was a very exceptional fire breathing musical monster!
He combined the old school swing style of Lester Young and the bebop innovations of Diz and Bird with near perfect technical execution on alto and tenor for almost 5 decades and remains the most recorded saxophonist of all time.
@@joshuamarks1129 Thank God Miles brought W. Shorter definately in after inbetweens with Goerge Coleman and Hank Mobley….
Stitt is Great, but it just Stops evolving at some point… maybe drinking was a reason… see him argue with H. McGhee on Stage on a Charlie Parker Tribute Gig , Band les by JJ Johnson.
@@thinktwice4565 I totally agree, his musical aesthetic hit it’s cultural Zenith in about 1957.
With the exception of his organ trio material in the 1960’s, he never changed gears or experimented. He was a traditionalist and, along with Dexter Gordon, perhaps the best of that brand of player.
So awesome.... all players are on top form here.
When I started listening to jazz this was what I'd find in Dad's collection, plus Jimmy Smith, Miles, Trane, & Wes.
Sonny stitt is a total gas. He just kills this blues.
these people are giants of jazz,,,I am depedant on reading music, the giants do not
Epic. Thanks this post.
This is just fantastic. I saw Monk a few times in the late sixties and his solos were redundant and nothing like this which is very fresh and very New by comparison. Great Stitt, as is usually the case. Such a fluid player. Wonderful session. Thanks for posting this
Many Tks from Portugal! Loved it ♥
I'm lucky enough to live in RI, the home of the Newport Jazz fest. Attended many times over the years. Best show was 1991 - Miles last appearance and BB King was still hot as ever. thanks for this blast from the past.
You can sure tell how much these guys love playing together!!
Heavy be bop this.
ちょうどマイルスがアホなことをやり出した頃、他方でこんな充実した演奏が聴けたのですね。実に素晴らしい。私はウィンディング氏がこんな小技を持っていたんだということを初めて知って驚きました。モンク氏のスイングぶりも感動ものです。
Monk could most certainly lay down standard rhythm piano. He just mostly chose not to
боже мой, в 1971 году мой последний курс института, если бы я тогда могла слушать такое! знали ли музыканты, что войдут в вечность как классика.!? это бог посылал им в утешение - как и всем нам в трудных обстоятельствах.
Nissia Goft Athens Jazz Singer ❤
The second song at counter 18:05 is « Epistrophy ».
Excellent entry, thanks so much, quality is great
Al McKibbon on double bass, is far from being a second hand player, facing these Jazz monsters : his perfect humility on the other tracks is baffled by his introductive solo for Dexterity, beginning at 42:15 ...
Respect !
9:19 what beat did Sonny Stitt come in on? It sounded like he was trying to come in on beat 1, but missed, and came in on 2 or 3
This footage is incredible WOW
Blakey=immense.
Al McKibbon > 42:00🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
That God for RUclips. I'm too young have experienced this show. But now I can see and feel what they were talking about. All those too of that top of the line talent in the room. And no egos or drama.👏
감사합니디❤
Yahoo sticks at least a couple of ads DURING songs...completely ruins the experience.
Удивительные музыканты в удивительное время !!!! Super!!!
Thanks for sharing!
I was 15y/o when Dad took me to see this All Star Jazz Band in Perth/Australia. I grew up listening to Dad's Oscar Peterson and Jazz Messengers records. Unfortunately Monk hardly played at all.
That would have been awesome. Your Dad was a great drummer.
@@peterharriesjnr5789 hi Peter, I’m not sure if we actually met all those years ago. I remember your dad vividly and on Sunday helping my dad collect his drums from the club. Growing up listening to Oscar Peterson left me somewhat confused watching Thelonious Monk play. Oscar played so much and Monk played so little. On that night anyway. Regards Michael
@44:44 If Al McKibbon's lapels were any wider, he'd be airborne 😄
theres a hint of "the hymn" in blue
i feel like any musician being backed by monk can do no wrong solo wise
you might wanna ax miles' opinion on that.
On the contrary, many musicians, including Coltrane and Miles Davis at one time or another, found Monk's accompaniment difficult to play with.
I've seen that show in Hamburg,Germany
振り返って今思うに 素晴らしい時代でしたね
es increíble la cantidad e anuncios que salen, no deja ver ni medio tema
The Giants Of Jazz was not the best time for Monk...
Poorly organized tour with a repertoire and certain musicians such as Kai Winding very far from his idiom.
Moreover Dizzy was not very sympathetic with his mentor who taught him everything.
He didn't even remember Thelonious' themes while Monk knew Dizzy's by heart.
Moreover he was surprised every time they played Blue Monk by the success of the public.
Another mention of his contempt for the compositions and musical quality of his pseudo-friend, very sad.
By humiliating Monk, Gillespie not always cool, the proof!
First time I have seen Mr. Monk performing without a hat.
@@UUBrahman This was one of the last Monk tours.
Considering the atmosphere of the band and his state of mind, it's very understandable.
For him it was like a 'musical circus' with old colleagues who were not always nice..
After that he retired and played almost no concerts until his death in 1982.
Monk looks (and sounds) dejected, barely moving his body, so unlike the Monk of prior years
@@JaylanCan Fortunately, during this dreadful tour, Monk had the opportunity to do some recording sessions in London.
Solo and Trio with his friends who remained his friends Blakey and McKibbon.
Of very good musical quality, it is in fact a little bit his testament.
By dint of clowning around every night during this tour, he gives us the best of himself and proves what a magnificent artist he is.
Very interesting. Can you pls tell me how you got this info. I never heard that Dizz wasn’t nice with Monk during this tour .
Great Jazz Vibes...Masters !...
Stitt is it!!!!
What a treat, I need this just to calm down.

Simply great! ❤

Great Bebop thanks
Stop Sade mode
this a historic evevnt!
TMI! just dig!
I felt in love with jazz through THIS kind of jazz. The first concert was with Art Blakey and his combo in the seventies in Bologna.

Wow!
World of jazz 1971 , Newport Jazz Festival ! NO POLITICS , just music from gifted Musicians .
How come we don't have Musicians instead of politicians running the Country . Nothing but
good sounds from a multi cultured group of people who are good at what they do. No doubletalk ,
No lies , no false promises that can't be enacted , Just Good Music . Wish I could bring back those
times AND those People. Thank You for the Sounds
I agree..also Jazz is a great model for a hip, wonderfully engaged and inclusive society. Bureaucrats and politicians are for the most part (to paraphrase Buddy Rich from his infamous “Bus Tapes), “Not my kind of people”.
I agree.
Anybody know the name of the first song?
Gillespie's tune, "Blue and Boogie" originally recorded circa 1945 with Dexter Gordon on tenor.
I' am lucky to see and hear these fantastic guys in Budapest on live, it was great and my best jazz concert for ever
It's like so good
Dizzy Gillespie
In the world of jazz, Dizzy Gillespie is an icon. His journey through music led him to revolutionize jazz by infusing bebop and Afro-Cuban rhythms. 34:43
Renowned for his musical virtuosity and for his impish good humor and wit, Gillespie played this trumpet from the late 1970s to the early 1980s. Its uniquely shaped upturned bell was Gillespie's internationally known trademark.
