One of my fave ever jazz recordings. There are actually 3 trumpet soloists - Clark Terry, Maynard Ferguson and Clifford Brown in that order - 3 of the greatest trumpeters that ever lived.......
This is one of the most creative arrangements ever. The first part is just the drums. Then the bass comes in and then the piano and they are all playing this kind of Latin thing. Next it is the great trumpet battle. The first time I heard it I thought it was one guy and I said this is the greatest trumpet solo ever. Brilliant!
This song comes from my fav.Dinah album,the ensemble backing her is just out of this world and completely live,everyone who loves jazz should own it,Dinah has no equal her voice had so much feeling,ta.for keeping the memory of her alive
Such a great loss to music and to all of humanity. Mr Terry was one of the world's true gentlemen! His accomplishments in recording and live performance were incalculable, he mentored some of the greatest musicians in jazz. He was the first musician of African decent to be hired by a major American television network, and when he traveled abroad he was a great emissary representing the good in the American people. Clark Terry. Your work on earth was wonderful. Now it's time for you to play wonderfully for your maker. He'll rejoice in your beauty as we on earth did and he will accept you in his ever loving arms.
Exactly. The entire recording is fantastic, with Dinah and the band delivering at every turn - but that ending, and the audience reaction. Incomparable.
I was in high school when this hit - and during the time Clifford Brown and his group were killed in their unfortunate accident - someone gave me this album.
Quote - "1st trumpet solo Clark Terry, 2nd trumpet solo Maynard Ferguson, and as previously said Clifford Brown 3rd trumpet soloist then they trade fours.' 1954 Dinah Washington - vocals Clifford Brown - trumpet Maynard Ferguson - trumpet Clark Terry - trumpet Herb Geller - alto saxophone Harold Land - tenor saxophone Richie Powell - piano Junior Mance - piano George Morrow - double bass Keter Betts - double bass Max Roach - drums
Umm ... I wanna time travel back to this gig ... she - them trumpet dudes - the drummer - this was a major musical event. Wouldn't it be wonderful if singers started singing again? I know the musicians today would give their eye teeth to play with someone like her.
She's almost overwhelmed by the brilliant trumpet solos but still manages to exercise control (just) to complete a highly satisfactory rendition of this great classic.
Recorded in Los Angeles in 1954, originally issued as "Dinah Jams". All the tracks are great, but the most outstanding for me is the 2.26 minute Summertime.
The Trumpet Players are: Clark Terry (first solo), Maynard Ferguson (second solo) and Clifford Brown (third solo and the most avanced in the harmony) The four and four solos are in the same orden
LainieHollis If anybody sounds remotely like Dinah Washington it would be Nancy Wilson. But there really is only one Dinah Washington. Oh how I miss all of the vocalists from that era. They were the greatest!
My mom told me about that! She had read that Tony Bennett told Amy Winehouse about her reminding of Dinah Washington. Amy Winehouse responded by saying Dinah Washington was her favorite jazz person! How neat!!
I just tried explaining "Hip" to a Mexican national what it meant, another Hip word was "Cat"like he's a cool cat and failed until I played my Dinah"s playlist at home and said, this is "Hip" music which cool "Cats" dig. That's where he totally goot lost in our 50's, 60's jargon.
Disagreeing with one or two comments below -- I LOVE hearing Dinah Washington sing quality Tin Pan Alley material like this, and there are plenty of examples demonstrating it wasn't just for white artists (or audiences). Her material on record was inconsistent, especially as one gets into the later pop-oriented years, but no complaints from me about hearing her in Porter. She just sings it differently from how we sometimes have heard it. From her, this song is intense and urgent rather than urbane and witty. Great playing around her, to a man.

Surprised that your first pic is Dexter Gordon.. I love Dex, but he ain't on this track! Looks like a Herman Leonard shot.. Unbelievable jazz photographer who captured so many of the greats in fabulous poses..
I tried so not to give in. I said to myself: “This affair never will go so well.” But why should I try to resist when, baby, I know so well, I’ve got you under my skin...
L'alcool et les barbituriques pour contrer les effets des amphétamines est un usage courant chez les artistes.. Combinés, ces sédatifs peuvent être mortels : ils coûtèrent par exemple la vie à la chanteuse Dinah Washington en décembre 1963. Elle avait désespérément essayé de perdre du poids en vue d'un prochain concert en utilisant des pilules diététiques aux amphétamines. Et ELVIS PRESLEY ?
I adore her. My favorite singer (other than Frank Sinatra), but, in this song, I think the pace was too fast. We could have heard her wonderful voice better at a slower pace. JMO. Listen to her other recordings. She was magnificent.
Of course Dinah was a master of song and could do anything but this song was not for her. In those days Black artists were coerced to cater to the White sector and this was basically aimed at White audiences. But that trumpet came to the rescue; wow, that trumpet! After the intermission, for namo second, Dinah had to struggle to overcome the overpowering, lingering effect of Mr. Terry's trumpet but she did and claimed the spotlight in her usual masterful way
I actually hadn’t realised that black artists had to be coerced to sing songs like this. It makes me feel a little uncomfortable enjoying their performances.
The quality of this woman's voice is just remarkable. Wow....she really thrills me when she sings.
She sounds like a robin singing in flight.
One of my fave ever jazz recordings. There are actually 3 trumpet soloists - Clark Terry, Maynard Ferguson and Clifford Brown in that order - 3 of the greatest trumpeters that ever lived.......
Especially Clifford Brown!
I was just asking that question... Thanks indeed. Greetings from Paraguay
This is one of the most creative arrangements ever. The first part is just the drums. Then the bass comes in and then the piano and they are all playing this kind of Latin thing. Next it is the great trumpet battle. The first time I heard it I thought it was one guy and I said this is the greatest trumpet solo ever. Brilliant!
Arrangement is by Richie Powell - Bud's younger brother.
@@bebopj thanks bebopj. It’s certainly a brilliant arrangement.
My favorite "lady of the jazz" singing my favorite version of the song. What more can I want?
One of the fewest greatest female singers that ever lived.
That's an incredible version. Amazing! Dinah Washington was a wonderful singer and I've always loved her.
Et tu chantes aussi ? 😊
My Mother LOVES Ms. Dinah Washington & she sings all of her songs!
This is the best version of the song out there!! DINAH RULES!!!!
This song comes from my fav.Dinah album,the ensemble backing her is just out of this world and completely live,everyone who loves jazz should own it,Dinah has no equal her voice had so much feeling,ta.for keeping the memory of her alive
RIP Clark Terry, a great trumpeter and human being.
Mr. Terry will be greatly missed. He was wonderful man!
He did the show me state proud, and paved the way for many!!!

Clark Terry. Your work on earth was wonderful. Now it's time for you to play wonderfully for your maker.
He'll rejoice in your beauty as we on earth did and he will accept you in his ever loving arms.
Fantastic rendition. She's great. Drums are a nice touch, and what a trumpet lineup! Every one of them (Terry, Ferguson and Brown) an absolute icon.
The ending to this makes you want to shout with joy. A masterpiece
Exactly. The entire recording is fantastic, with Dinah and the band delivering at every turn - but that ending, and the audience reaction. Incomparable.
I was in high school when this hit - and during the time Clifford Brown and his group were killed in their unfortunate accident - someone gave me this album.
Sick groove by Max Roach at the beginning. Very hip, especially for 1954.
Wow, I've never heard this. What a mind blowing recording. The drums are like nothing else

MERCI BEAUCOUP POUR CES MOMENTS DE PLAISIR.....
She's almost overwhelmed by the brilliant trumpet solos but still manages to exercise control (just) to complete a highly satisfactory rendition of this great classic.
Thanks for sharing this rendition! It's amazing! 🙏🏻
Loved it......no one like her

Recorded in Los Angeles in 1954, originally issued as "Dinah Jams". All the tracks are great, but the most outstanding for me is the 2.26 minute Summertime.
My compliments on the video supporting this great recording.
BRILLIANT!
beautiful !

Thanks very much for posting this. It's great.
In a word, Brilliant... wow!! thanks* Mx
1st trumpet solo Clark Terry, 2nd trumpet solo Maynard Ferguson, and as previously said Clifford Brown 3rd trumpet soloist then they trade fours.
Thanks.
She's Untouchable!
Cole Porter composer, Dinah Washington singer, Trumpeters Clark Terry, Maynard Ferguson and Clifford Brown---what more can you ask?
LA CLASSE DINA RIP UNE DIVA RARE ET MAGIQUE !!!
The Trumpet Players are: Clark Terry (first solo), Maynard Ferguson (second solo) and Clifford Brown (third solo and the most avanced in the harmony) The four and four solos are in the same orden
It’s truly sad that the majority of our world has never heard this cut. Even, so call Jazz aficionados don’t know this cut.
i love this !! dinah
I read somewhere that Amy Winehouse reminded Tony Bennett of Dinah Washington.
Superb trumpet playing on this cut.
LainieHollis Didn't say Amy reminded Tony of Dinah as a singer.. Just that Amy reminded Tony of Dinah Washington. Tony messin' up? Come on now.
LainieHollis If anybody sounds remotely like Dinah Washington it would be Nancy Wilson. But there really is only one Dinah Washington. Oh how I miss all of the vocalists from that era. They were the greatest!
My mom told me about that! She had read that Tony Bennett told Amy Winehouse about her reminding of Dinah Washington. Amy Winehouse responded by saying Dinah Washington was her favorite jazz person! How neat!!
mmm, mmm delicious performance--everyone is just so fine!
Dinah must have had everyone under her skin, because the musicians are smoother than shea butter.
I just tried explaining "Hip" to a Mexican national what it meant, another Hip word was "Cat"like he's a cool cat and failed until I played my Dinah"s playlist at home and said, this is "Hip" music which cool "Cats" dig. That's where he totally goot lost in our 50's, 60's jargon.
and clifford brown.
One of greatist ever!
The Third trumpeter to take a solo in this track was the great Clifford Brown.
Love this one!

MARAVILHA!
AND CLIFFORD BROWN!!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
"You're a part of me"

Anyone knowsvwho the trumpet player is?

What I can't understand is the 31 mofos that don't like this! WTF?!
Don't forget Clifford.
Clark and Maynard were great. But Clifford was the greatest!
Pretty good. Sounds like John Lennon in girl form
what are eye teeth?! :D ..no matter..your right..
pay attention mr bieber
beiber!

love this but still think the best version is by ella fitzgerald.
I adore her. My favorite singer (other than Frank Sinatra), but, in this song, I think the pace was too fast. We could have heard her wonderful voice better at a slower pace. JMO. Listen to her other recordings. She was magnificent.
I'm just going to say...not Maynard...☺️❤️
Very softly chirps...but the cords give out...they are black, even to the ear can be seen
I just listened to the Katherine McPhee/ Chris Botti's version of this song. Pfft...Dinah's version is light years better.
krownzilla ...Chris Botti isn't anywhere near Brownie, C.T. or Maynard, PERIOD!!!
Non pas lui !

This belongs to Sinatra.

The intro is weird and discomforting, but the arrangement redeems itself in the middle and really swings at the end!
