Art Blakey - drums, band leader Bobbie Timmons - piano, (composed this song) Wayne Shorter - tenor sax Lee Morgan - trumpet Jymie Merritt - bass Recorded early 1961. Legendary.
There isn't enough Bobby Timmons out there. he is one of the best Jazz pianists I have heard and he was a brilliant song writer. It is a real shame he died so young.
If my memory is correct, this was filmmed at the TBS studio in Tokyo, 1961. I'm very glad to see Bobby Timmons' fingers at the end of this song. I'm from Japan and am 44 years old. I read that Blakey and his Jazz Messengers was just like the Jazz Influenza when they visited Japan for the first time. Their music was completely different from the music that the Japanese used to listen to, such as Glen Miller or Benny Goodman. The word "funky" soon became popular in Japan.
Just finished watching the Lee Morgan documentary on Netflix that’s why I’m here!! This is black art I’m celebrating (snap snap snap) anyone else here 2021 after learning about Lee Morgan. Love this piece
A beautiful, heartbreaking movie. I first heard Lee Morgan around 1960 but my appreciation of his playing has only increased in the interval. Just his pure technical command of the instrument! When you have brilliant musical ideas you need extraordnary technique to bring them to the audience, and he had both. What a sad loss.
11 years after you wrote this comment, I, a 17 year old Chinese-American (going on 18), am jamming to this masterpiece from 60 years ago. Jazz lives on.
@@ugurakbulut1068 Ask an African American what they think. Nearly all of them consider themselves Americans first. Their ancestors brought African rhythms and combined them with European musical theory-broke it and made their own form. This is an American form.
If there's any question that jazz is dead, listen to all the guest bands night after night on the network shows. Try to find even one that will risk a minute or two on an instrumentalist. Or on a jazz singer like Roberta Gambarini or Cecile Salvant. Instead it's bad guitar-strumming singers doing their precious unmemorable original songs (usually a phrase--not a melody). Popular music, show tunes, etc. were once written by professionals, and these became the "standards" of measurement for jazz musicians. Without them, the music has no worthy vehicles for interpretation and improvisation.
The last of the greats left us who in this video amazes us with his incomparable art. Grateful to have listened to him on his last visit to Buenos Aires. "Wayne Shorter", thank you for so much beauty.💖💖💖💖🎵🎵🎷🎷
I have had this song stuck in my head for the last four days (and that's a good thing). This is so awesome. There's so much to love here--all the solos, my favorite being Timmons at 5:02. I also love the way Blakey bangs the drums (the part at 6:54 being one example).
For rosaire0. The original title is DAT DERE, a song written by Bobby TIMMONS. A child talking to his father "Hey, Daddy what dat dere ? Hey Daddy, hey look it o-ber der ! I hab dat big el-e-pant o-ber der !" And so on. Very nice to sing.
This is the jazz dream team and Art Blakey may be one of the greatest bandleaders of all time. Lee plays with so much passion. Bobby Timmons has so much soul
Dat Dere, by Bobby Timmons. First group (1959-61) called "Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers." All these solos great, but what a solo by Lee Morgan! Lee Morgan - Trumpet Wayne Shorter - Tenor Bobby Timmons - Piano Jymie Merritt - Bass Art Blakey - drums Lyrics by Oscar Brown Jr.: "Hey Daddy, what's dat dere? And what's dat under dere? Oh Daddy, oh hey Daddy, hey look at over dere! And what dey doing dere? And where dey goin dere? And Daddy can I have dat big elephant over dere?"
Saw the Jazz Messengers in '89 at Joe Segal's Jazz Showcase in Chicago. Started the set with a blues shuffle, but sounded pretty stiff and clunky to start with. After the head and first solo it warmed up a bit. By the 2nd solo the stiffness was gone. By the 3rd solo, the rhythm section was completely locked in and the soloist was playing inside a blast furnace of molten energy that had me on the edge of my front row seat. The shuffle groove just kept growing in intensity even after it seemed it couldn't get any more intense. By the end of that tune... everyone in that venue had gotten the message. Life-changing experience.
Great song. I wish we still have some great artist out there. Now we have this candy-ass jazz or rock&roll jazz and it all sound the same. So I play my albums and thank God for Art Blakey and all other jazz artist who gave us so much great music.
Man these cats are "playin dey instruments" My dad always said, when Blakey sat down at the drums he had but one thing in mind....keep it simple and make it swing. great post.
This clip is a Treasure to be preserved like an antique artefact. Watched this clip dozens and dozens of times, felt compelled to comment several times and I must repeat myself; this is an orgasmic performance!
This line up of the Jazz Messengers will always be my favorite. I'm told Art felt the same way. I especially enjoy this video because of sweet sassy soulful Lee Morgan!
Oscar Brown wrote lyrics and recorded it on his album Sin and Soul. The lyrics are about his young kid. The whole album is fantastic and deserves to be better known. He also wrote the lyrics to Max Roach's We Insist! suite.
Unforgettable Artists. Art Blakey really made a great job with his Messengers in these years. I listen to this piece since I'm 16, I'm 32 now. Over the years I found 3 different live versions of it and I have them all on my MP3, unable to decide which one's the best. I recommend them all to you!
I just posted a note a few moments ago and would like to amend it. I just found a beautiful, very sensitive vocal version by a singer from the Netherlands, Zippora Tieman. Well worth a listen. This is a singer from whom I would like to hear much more, she truly has the goods!
Art Blakey - drums, band leader
Bobbie Timmons - piano, (composed this song)
Wayne Shorter - tenor sax
Lee Morgan - trumpet
Jymie Merritt - bass
Recorded early 1961. Legendary.
There isn't enough Bobby Timmons out there. he is one of the best Jazz pianists I have heard and he was a brilliant song writer. It is a real shame he died so young.
Another familiar jazz story.
I agree... Is maybe my favourite... And little documents
agreed but I have his 4 cd set - it is fabulous
I agree.
Shivers up and down the spine!

Lee Morgan at the time was only 23 years old, an amazing trumpeter! RIP.
Lee really gets inside those Timmons compositions...almost like written for him!
shot by his own wife?
this is why jazz it the original art form that is respected world wide, improvisation at it's purest level. awesome.
RIP Wayne Shorter. If you had known at that young age the career ahead of you!!! Big respect
When I see Lee Morgan's face while he's playing I know he's giving so much, I wanna cry, that's so good
Just finished watching the Lee Morgan documentary on Netflix that’s why I’m here!! This is black art I’m celebrating (snap snap snap) anyone else here 2021 after learning about Lee Morgan. Love this piece
Seneca T i could not agree with you more just a beautiful piece of black history, love Lee Morgan, peace and blessings to you and your family.

This gem was written by the piano player, the great Bobby Timmons!
Fantastic video, thank you!
Timmons wrote the famous Moanin' as well! Quite an underrated artist
The lyrics were written by Oscar Brown, Jr.. Bobby Timmons wrote the song, though. Forgive me for not making the distinction!
Funky Bobby Timmons FOREVER!!!! 🥃🗽🇺🇲🎹
No one compares to these masters.
That's how a trumpet would be truly played
This is the American art form in it's finest....this will survive for ever....

@@ugurakbulut1068 that's beyond ignorant
yup, an amalgamation of all cultures and traditions, thats what makes it cool
Just imagine that sort of thing used to be on TV, live.Amazing in several ways.

Peter
I could listen to Art Blakey's messengers all day. They always play the truth.Lee Morgan an incredable solo. This is the essence of jazz!
For rosaire0. The original title is DAT DERE, a song written by Bobby TIMMONS. A child talking to his father "Hey, Daddy what dat dere ? Hey Daddy, hey look it o-ber der ! I hab dat big el-e-pant o-ber der !" And so on.
Very nice to sing.
This is the jazz dream team and Art Blakey may be one of the greatest bandleaders of all time. Lee plays with so much passion. Bobby Timmons has so much soul

There are no words to describe it. This is my favorite video on youtube. I have not encountered anything better.
Imanol Miranda I so effing agree with you dude!!!
Lee’s and Bobby’s solos are the greatest in jazz history. I declare. 👋🏾😇🎼
Beautiful,brilliant,perfect.Thanks so much for posting!

no showing, they dont need..masters of music
Messengers kicking ass . They are fuckin beasts! Love this one.
r.i.p in heaven. Your soul is bigger than life. And the music Resonate forever and ever
They were Magic Messengers !!
Unforgettable Artists. Art Blakey really made a great job with his Messengers in these years. I listen to this piece since I'm 16, I'm 32 now. Over the years I found 3 different live versions of it and I have them all on my MP3, unable to decide which one's the best. I recommend them all to you!
Sheer genius!
A jazz classic by one of the best jazz groups ever.
just perfect!!!!!!
So nice to see these master's at work !!! #COOKIN🔥🔥🔥🎧
The out chorus on this tune cranks. Love that riff!
One of the greats:)
I just posted a note a few moments ago and would like to amend it. I just found a beautiful, very sensitive vocal version by a singer from the Netherlands, Zippora Tieman. Well worth a listen.
This is a singer from whom I would like to hear much more, she truly has the goods!
I fear these moments are gone forever...we are lost
Thanks for posting this. It's been one of my favorites since the 60s. It's great to see them play it. The words are great too.
This is straight ahead jazz in its most basic, most beautiful form. I mean...how does anybody NOT like this??
this is hard bop at its finest
Really smooth performance. Sounds so sweet to my ears.
stunning sound and to believe some people dislike it, i guess they don't know much about music and where it comes from!
man this is pure cool
Unbelieveable! absolute mind blower
BEST TRACK, no joke!
Great music just simply, great music ❤❤❤❤
That pattern @1:50:1:56 is sick
RIGHT!?!
It's not a waste of time, too good.
una intro de piano que puedes llegar a recordar toda la vida...masterpiece del Hard bop¡¡¡¡
Jaw droppin fun !
Something about the drums really spoke to me
