@3:00 witnessing the genius of Konitz in real time - they way he intuitively takes the 4-note intervalic theme from the end of the valve trombone solo, inverts it, and then recreates it into a phrase that springboards him into one of the most uniquely melodic and un-formulaic choruses on “Satin Doll” you’ll ever hear. RIP Lee 💙
Cant describe how this superb music makes me feel , it like having your spirit lifted and floating on a cloud of all thats good Mulligan is just the Dogs .
For all those wonderful musicians, well known and not very, like quite a few in this great band. I have been so lucky to have seen so many when i was younger. CZcams is great because all this is available now to everyone. Thank you very much for posting this!
He was the first soft, cool alto, that inspired guys like Desmond and Bud shank, but after some years he got that modal, dissonant influences, maybe from Ornette coleman or something, and began something original, cool and experimental at same time.
@@caiovaz3812 There is no "first" in music. But if you want to point a finger look at Johnny Hodges. Paul Desmond never sounded like Konitz, Lee has a totally different sound, i admire him but his intonation has always been weak. They play totally different. Konitz improvise in a vertical way, he is widely influenced by Lennie Tristano's musical ideas. Paul was a genius on his own. The greatest melodic improviser and the only saxophonist at that time that doesn't use the be bop licks, he used quote instead of patterns. Talking about sound, if you listen carefully, Bud Shank, in his early yers, was totally influenced by Desmond.
@Kenneth Liburd No, i was talking about his intonation that was weak, especially in his last years. This is not a race. We all admire the great music but we have to be objective to be able to learn. I am a professional musician, i know what i am talking about.
David Monette made the custom horn for him, and the Monette company still sells a flumpet model. Not sure of other musicians who use it (like trumpeters who used Dizzy's bent model - although I thought maybe Lee Morgan did at one point).
Mulligan's "What Is There To Say" is a jazz classic, done with partner Art Farmer. Great to see them still at it later and so digging doing oh so well what they always do so well.
Konitz may play highly intelligent and theoretically extraordinary, but it still sounds wrong. I still adore him. Es un juego de Konitz muy inteligente y teóricamente extraordinario, pero aún así suena mal. Todavía lo adoro.
Gerry Mulligan, Art Farmer, Lee Konitz), The tentet also included Rob McConnell on valve trombone, Mike Mossman (who took some pointed solos) on trumpet, Ken Soderblum on saxophone and clarinet, Bob Routch on French horn, Ted Rosenthal on piano, Dean Johnson on bass and Ron Vincent on drums
French Metropole TV (M6) broadcast this Jazz à Vienne from Le Théâtre Antique de Vienne (France), on 09 JUL 1992. Also broadcast: Godchild, Move, Line for Lyons, Alone Together, G’bye John, Boplicity, Walking Shoes, Blueport, & Moondreams. Rumor is that a 4-min Jeru exists (not broadcast). This was a part of the Gerry Mulligan ‘Tentet’ Rebirth of the Cool tour. These credits scroll toward the end (8:20) of this film: Mike Mossman, Art Farmer (+fl-h): tp/ Rob McConnell v-tb/ Bob Routch fr-h/ Ken Soderbloom [sic] cl, ts/ Lee Konitz as/ Gerry Mulligan (leader, arr) bari/ Bill Barber tu/ Ted Rosenthal p/ Dean Johnson b/ Ron Vincent d. (Soderblom’s name is misspelled.) :I:
And Bill Barber on rotary valve(they are quick and reliable)TUBA. Nice low notes on French Horn. We in Whangarei had Satin Doll on the list of forbidden tunes(which had been thrashed to death too many times by amateurs.)
The african american gentleman playing the trumpet is not lee konitz. Mr. Konitz is the guy with the beard playing the alto saxophone. I assume the trumpet player is art farmer.
The first trumpet subtitle is wrong: it's not Lee Konitz. Lee plays alto, and his tone on the low notes - almost the whole of his solo - is simply to die for. You rarely hear the stuff in the bell (below the low Eb) sounded as beautifully as that.
Cigarette holder which wigs me Over her shoulder she digs me Out cattin' that satin doll Baby, shall we go out skippin'? Careful, amigo, you're flippin' Speaks Latin that satin doll She's nobody's fool so I'm playing it cool as can be I'll give it a whirl, but I ain't for no girl catching me Swich-e-rooney Telephone numbers well you know Doing my rhumbas with uno And that's my satin doll
+Joe Carbery It's quite possible, I even think it's probable, that the company that made it, made others for players who saw and heard Art's. I'd certainly buy one if I could afford it.
It's odd. I love his 1950's stuff, tone and improv was so much more brilliant. I think, like Miles Davis, he became too aware of not repeating himself and very deliberately tried to play something different, rather than just being himself and playing what he heard in his head. His solos on the album "Cross Currents" he did with Bill Evans and Warne Marsh in 1977 was so much more interesting and "faster" than here, but even then he played so sharp it hurts, and with the same pinched tone as in this video.
Konitz improvised his solo. All of the other soloists were playing 90% bebop patterns. When you know what you're going to play, you can play a solo that sounds "great", but is not improvised. The French Horn player was the worst culprit; he played a couple of Bird's licks and that was his solo.
@@cooljazzr Konitz worked hard to play what he heard in his head and to not repeat himself. If we had 10 takes of this song, it is likely that most of the other soloists would repeat about 75% of the same material in each take, whereas Konitiz would develop something new in each solo. It took me a long time to appreciate what Konitz does. Improvising in real time without regurgitating one's own licks or someone else's is very difficult.
Lee Konitz out of this world
This is true classic jazz. Great musicians
LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!!!
Art Farmer always played as if he had considered every note possible and decided on the perfect one.
I have 60 year old LP's by these guys. Love 'em.

a bunch of old masters. they did not stop doing it.
Редчайший исторический джем гигантов джаза. Респект блогеру за память о великих...😍
Master piece gigs to great legendary musician! The recent Lee K has gone on jazz planet!
For all those wonderful musicians, well known and not very, like quite a few in this great band. I have been so lucky to have seen so many when i was younger. CZcams is great because all this is available now to everyone. Thank you very much for posting this!
Love this era x
Great group of giants playing a tune of a master.
Wonderful version of Ellington`s "Satin Doll" and all the sublime soloists. Mulligan, Farmer and Konitz among others.
Lee Konitz on Alto is so cool. His Solo is some kind of strange, but vey elegant and different from the other swing stuff. Really great!
He was the first soft, cool alto, that inspired guys like Desmond and Bud shank, but after some years he got that modal, dissonant influences, maybe from Ornette coleman or something, and began something original, cool and experimental at same time.

Art Farmer played an instrument he called "Flumpet", half trumpet and half flugelhorn. The horn was specially made for him.
Thank you for noticing us. It sounds a little bit like a flugelhorn and have a shape of a cornet.
David Monette made the custom horn for him, and the Monette company still sells a flumpet model. Not sure of other musicians who use it (like trumpeters who used Dizzy's bent model - although I thought maybe Lee Morgan did at one point).
perfection in genius
What a wonderful collaboration of great jazz artists..
The talent on that stage! OMG!
Talk to me
Don. Mossman
Indeed, Art and Gerry's music lives on. I miss them. To Lee Konitz: See you soon Lee. Thanks for playing!!
Thank you!! Two of my all time favorites. Like Chet Baker, Art Farmer's tone is delicious!
Art Farmer played in the 70ties in Austria too. Real great musicians! Thank you!
A great bunch of musicians and for a change enjoying what they're doing and showing it.
Wonderfully warm version ... love the saxophone
Wow Art Farmer takes this into interesting places right from the word go. Hearing it makes me wonder how much homage Roy Hargrove owes him
the best introducing jazz
Fabulous!
Congratulações para todos estes mestres da música que são eternos como o Jazz de qualidade excelente...Obrigado...
Outstanding rendition of Edward Kennedy Ellington's masterpiece! Beautiful work by Jeru, Art & Lee Et Al! ;-)
Quality stuff! Absolute class
Gracias Joan ¡¡ .. tu banda suena igual de biennnn .. me ha encantado verlo
Marvelous! I've never seen this group before, although Mulligan had something similar at Ravinia around 1990
Sublime
THIS is music !!! .
Great !!! Great!!!
Excellent!!!!!!
Mulligan's "What Is There To Say" is a jazz classic, done with partner Art Farmer. Great to see them still at it later and so digging doing oh so well what they always do so well.
Браво! Рыжий Джерри (МАЛЛИГЭН) лучше многих даже в преклонном возрасте, а среди боперов и на баритоне ему просто нет равных...
BELÍSSIMO VÍDEO, MAESTRO CHAMORRO. A ELITE DO ''COOL JAZZ''
GERRY SHOULD HAVE NAMED THIS TUNE "BREATHLES", THAT HOW IT LEFT ME.
One doesn't re-name pieces by Duke Ellington.
@@noahvale939😂
Classic......nuf said
Bella musica JAZZ 🎷🎷🎤👏👌💟
Бесподобно!
A lovely composition, some of the best men in the jazz world - what's more satisfying?
+John Perks Absolutely NOTHING.
As I was told recently "We lived through the best times!"
+MauriatOttolink Today cheapness and hypocrisy rules. 'PC' tries to hide the stupidity, and behind it lie all the two-faced.
Konitz may play highly intelligent and theoretically extraordinary, but it still sounds wrong. I still adore him.

Thanks lot !
Play it now Gerry. Yes. Yes. Yes
Play it now Gerry mulligan.

Thank you for the info!
that hot house quote on the waldhorn from 5:42 to 5:47 is really cool
Bobby Shoe played a similar 2 trumpet contraption to be able to accompany himself, called a “Shoehorn !”
And Bill Barber on rotary valve(they are quick and reliable)TUBA. Nice low notes on French Horn. We in Whangarei had Satin Doll on the list of forbidden tunes(which had been thrashed to death too many times by amateurs.)
Glad to see im not the only one watching these for bill haha
Art Farmer on trumpet was incorrectluy labeled as Lee Konitz on the video. Lee was there alright on the sax.
The african american gentleman playing the trumpet is not lee konitz. Mr. Konitz is the guy with the beard playing the alto saxophone. I assume the trumpet player is art farmer.
Yeah thats Art Farmer...and the guy playing valve trombone is Rob McConnell..leader of what was the best damm band on Planet Earth!!
Correct the Title of the Vid!
His name is "Art Farmer" not "Farner" ;)
Lol Art Farmer credited as being Lee Konitz
what year ? looks like it might have been last week....wish they were all still with us!
French horn solo!
Minor typo ...corrected in the detailed description......
Valve Bone guy is Rob McConnell
Under the solo of Art Farmer a text is showed "Lee Konitz", strange....
Lee Konitz recently died from Covid 19 as did Bucky Pizzarelli and Ellis Marsallis; a real shame.
The first trumpet subtitle is wrong: it's not Lee Konitz. Lee plays alto, and his tone on the low notes - almost the whole of his solo - is simply to die for. You rarely hear the stuff in the bell (below the low Eb) sounded as beautifully as that.

When was this?
Cigarette holder which wigs me
Over her shoulder she digs me
Out cattin' that satin doll
Baby, shall we go out skippin'?
Careful, amigo, you're flippin'
Speaks Latin that satin doll
She's nobody's fool so I'm playing it cool as can be
I'll give it a whirl, but I ain't for no girl catching me
Swich-e-rooney
Telephone numbers well you know
Doing my rhumbas with uno
And that's my satin doll
Wonderful ensemble work. Too bad the solos are so uneven, but you can't have everything. Mulligan, Farmer, Mossman, Johnson and Vincent are cooking.
Sorry his second name Bobby Shew to show the pun
Error..the post up for a trumpet player was not Lee Konitz. Lee is a sax player.
lol... it says "lee konitz" while art farmer (or farner) is soloing.
who're the rest of the players? tenor? trumpet? fr. horn?
The second trumpet was great to me. European?
Art Farmer. Note spelling error
I think Art Farmer is playing a cornet, not a trumpet. (?)
+Joe Carbery That's Art's custom made flumpet, which is said to have a sound between a trumpet and a flugelhorn.
+noahvale939 Thanks for the information. I didn't know such an instrument existed.
+Joe Carbery It's quite possible, I even think it's probable, that the company that made it, made others for players who saw and heard Art's. I'd certainly buy one if I could afford it.
Quality will out.
Today...It's burned out.
not Farner but Farmer!!
Oh no. This is silly. Gerry mulligan is so much more than any of these players. They aren’t even close
Someone made a Faux at 2.03 mins indicating that the trumpeter is Konitz. No it aint, K is a white man and plays the sax
Gerry should not have been third player
What happenned to Lee Konitz on that night? He sounded TERRIBLE!!!!!!....By the way...I Love Lee Konitz normally!
This is really strange...
no

It’s insulting to an icon Gerry mulligan.
Sax player is not that good
