I never think of Ellis as a particularly high-note artist, but he hits that early night note as cleanly, clearly, and beautifully as Maynard or Biviano.

Ben Stiller had a killer tenor solo early on.

Too many notes!

Beautiful music!

Sublime

I don’t know why every is making so much fuss about the time signatures - it is surely all the porn star moustaches that are the most outstanding part of this performance? 😵

Тробонист даст ист Фантастишь

Bootleg, smootleg.. don Ellis stuff is always exciting. Lost him too early,when I was in my 20s. Rip.

Why is he turning his pages backward at 6:08? A repeating section? Great stuff, and on my mother's birthday! (I just played it for her last weekend)

The great Don Ellis.

Beautiful! Don gave his unique concept and all of his heart ❤️ and soul to his music. May his Spirit rest peacefully 🙏 for eternity. His sincere admirer always..Vaughn 🎺

Misericórdia que músicos bom

Eine tolle Big Band und ein Don Ellis in Höchstform, schade dass er schon lange nicht mehr unter uns weilt

Modus Novus

I saw this band many years ago in The Ronnie Scott jazz club in London. I was totally blown away by his sound. RIP DON😢

I was stunned when I ran across this recording I had never heard nor seen before. Some people never have the opportunity to recognize a high point in their lives. Fortunately, I could see this as one of those moments in my life immediately. Don Ellis was a spontaneous fellow. He felt it added excitement to the performance to just point at someone (me) and tell them to play a solo on this tune. So I almost ran out to the front with my baritone sax and started playing with everything I had when he pointed at me to play the first solo. I had never played a solo on this tune before, but the adrenaline was flowing so I had my moment in front of one of the greatest audiences at one of the great jazz festivals. What an experience.

Amazing

Crazy cool - played this chart in college at the Philadelphia Musical Academy and feel in love with Don Ellis

Bogactwo wielokulturowych zapożyczeń , przebogata rytmika , bajecznie się tego słucha

Just the right level of mellowness vs shrillness for the piece. Perfect, and I usually don't like mellow pieces on the flugelhorn or trumpet as much.

Odd meter mariachi.

Wow! Thanks for posting this. Don Ellis fan all of my life. Unfortunately I was born too late to ever see his orchestra for myself.

I discovered Don Ellis in a record store, playing, in 1970 and fell in love at age 18!

Listen to the “small group” section @10:11 where the melody is passed back and forth. A weird little detail that Don threw in there…just because.

Is he playing a flugelhorn with a French horn mouthpiece?

It reminds me too much of Chuck's tunes... The inspiration for them?

very cool video. Trumpet player’s name is Gil Rathel (last name spelling)

I'm 67. I was 22 when he played this. I was blessed to be introduced to Don Ellis' music by a personal friend of his who was my first music teacher, Jerry Moore, when I began playing trumpet at 10 years old. By 16 I was in the highschool jazz band and Jerry Moore then was the jazz band director at College of the Redwoods Eureka, California. Mr. Moore also had a community jazz band which met each Thursday at 7 pm. His two sons played in our highschool jazz band directed by a man who had played trombone in the Woody Herman band in the 1940s. Jerry Moore wrote a band piece named Thursdays at 7 which was in 7/4. We performed it in the highschool jazz band. Later that year 1970-71 he convinced Don to have his band perform in podunk Eureka. I was able to meet Don personally before the show. He justifiably wondered if the ticket sales would even cover the cost of the performance. But the performance was fantastic. The selections were a mix of songs recorded on the Don Ellis at Fillmore and Tears of Joy albums. I was married in 1978 and my children grew up listening to Final Analysis.

so beautiful man this that real music eardrum healers
