Dizzy Gillespie, 'Chega de Saudade' ('No More Blues' - Tom Jobim)

'Chega de Saudade' (No More Blues) is considered to be the first 'Bossa Nova', the famous Brazilian rhythm. The American trumpeter, composer, arranger, singer, percussionist and bandleader Dizzy Gillespie (1917-1993) and his quintet perform the delightful composition written by the Brazilian composer, arranger, singer, guitarist, pianist and flutist Tom Jobim (1927-1994), with lyrics by the Brazilian poet, composer, guitarist and singer Vinicius de Moraes (1913-1980) in the mid 50's.
Recorded live on the TV program 'Jazz 625', presented by Humphrey Lyttelton, August, 1966.
The Dizzy Gillespie Quintet:
Dizzy Gillespie, trumpet, percussion
James Moody, sax
Kenny Barron, piano
Christopher White, bass
Rudy Collins, drums

Original lyrics in Brazilian Portuguese:
Vai, minha tristeza e diz a ela
que sem ela não pode ser
Diz-lhe numa prece que ela regresse,
porque eu não posso mais sofrer...
Chega de saudade, a realidade é que
sem ela não há paz, não há beleza,
é só tristeza e a melancolia que não sai de mim, não sai de mim, não sai...
Mas se ela voltar, se ela voltar,
que coisa linda, que coisa louca
Pois há menos peixinhos a nadar no mar,
do que os beijinhos que eu darei na sua boca...
Dentro dos meus braços,
os abraços hão de ser milhões de abraços,
apertado assim, colado assim, calado assim
Abraços e beijinhos e carinhos sem ter fim
Que é pra acabar com esse negócio de viver longe de mim...
Não quero mais esse negócio de você viver assim...
Vamos deixar desse negócio de você viver sem mim...

Christopher White is an underrated bass player. Never gets a mention, so I'm giving him a shout out !!

[@avantijazz]

Agree. The amazing little shift in energy from the bass when James Moody starts stirring it up round about 4:30. Whoooaaaa

[@Timmer515]

I love how, at about 3:45, Dizzy hits a note so high, he has to take a physical step back to recover, then he hits it again and goes on higher. What a showman.

[@maopreta]

Quando músicos de jazz de primeira categoria resolvem tocar Bossa Nova, com liberdade para solos e improvisos, o resultado é sempre espetacular.

[@user417s4]

Dizzy was a phenomenal arranger, Hyunsu. Actually it's very easy to write for great musicians, they only need the melody to improvise and stroll around... Have a blessed day with Jesus.

It always gets me at the end when Diz and Moody hang onto that note in a game of chicken... and Diz pulls out two seconds before James and James wins!

[@charlesasche5813]

Back in the day (1965) we caught Diz and James with Chris and Rudy at the Jazz Gallery on St. Marks in the East Village but I think Lalo was on piano.

[@geraldsobel3470]

Beautiful rendition. What a delight!

[@michaeleliashberg5415]

This is one of the best jazz performances I have ever seen. Ask anyone familiar with the matter who the best jazz trumpet player of all times is, and the answer will leave no doubt - it is Dizzy Gillespie. No one could come even close.
