I think Hampton Hawes has to be my favorite jazz pianist - something about him....
Hampton Hawes used to gig at Donte's on Lankershim often & Hampton was intriguing to study for a few sets like 'Art Pepper & Singer, Irene Kral pianist, Alan Broadbent & Frank De La Rosa on base
Hampton could really play the blues. He has the audience spellbound without resorting to any tricks or gimmicks.
Shelly's club was a real jazz place with a special ambiance. We need more places like this today.
Hampton always playing that half diminished7 sound on II chord on blues. So cool trademark
😂
Spent many many happy hours here at Shelly 's. lived just a few blocks away, great memories . Thanks Shelly!
I lived in pasadena/altadena and would take an hour long bus ride to get to shelly's. I was 19 yrs.old in 1963 when i started going. Was my hangout over the years. Brings back fond memories of Monk, Miles, Ornette, Burton, Konitz, Bill Evans, Paul Horn and of course Shelly and his group.
Lucy you Michael!
@@alansenzaki4148 don't forget Tony Williams!! My cousin and I went there...he couldn't believe it!!
"Catalina's" initial Jazz Club" was on N Cahuenga Blvd before they relocated to Sunset Blvd & Highland, where they're still located in 2022 'near Hollywood High School And 'Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church' My Grandparents' old parish since the late 1920s
Anyone who went there at that time remember a young black guy around early 30s who was a sax player? He went there a lot to watch mostly. Maybe he played once in awhile
So cool to see my famous Uncle Shelly playing the drums at Shelly's Manne-hole out in LA.
nice
That big smile and approving look Ray Brown gave Hampton after his solo 09:38 is worth more than all Grammy awards combined.
Can’t stop smiling listening to this . Smallish crowd , hardly any amplification by todays standards but bags of warmth -feel and supreme musicianship .
agreed
By far the best way to listen to this kind of music.
I was there that night.. Young kid...in the shadows at about 15 minutes. Lol
Amazing!
@ that was me Joao!!
Did you ever meet a black guy late 20s, early 30s who was a sax player? Who would have Ben in the audience. He went there a lot
This and all the other posted sites on CZcams of Hampton Hawes is a Great find for me, as I was a young boy sitting alongside Mr. Hawes as he practiced & rehearsed his piano playing music in the Living room in Boyle Heights-East Los Angeles, CA. I frequently visit Mr. Hawes home because My Best Friend Billy lived there and just across the street from me at that time. Today Mr. Hawes just popped into my mind, as he has in the past when I came across one of his many albums in a classic vintage record store in Hollywood, CA. around 10 years ago. I have since then misplaced that vinyl album and felt terrible about it. Now I happily find many different sites with Mr. Hawes music that I have never herd before. It is great to reminisce about the good old days of being young and full of life. I remember so many stories of being around Mr. Hawes when I was growing up, I hope to someday tell my memories for all the public, CZcamsrs, Facebookers, and all social media to enjoy.
Keith Silva AWESOME 👏
Keith Silva actually met and knew Hamp briefly and his first, former wife, Jackie. Great memories you have as well. Thanks for sharing🤗🎶🎹
This is such an amazing video! Thank you for sharing :) I sure hope to find footage of LA4 playing live, fingers crossed that I can find something, lol. If anyone has, please share 🙏 Ray Brown was truly the best Double bassist to live. I would’ve killed to get a personal lesson from him. Hopefully I can meet Ron Carter while he’s still around.. I hate seeing all of the greats go. There’s nothing that compares today, in my opinion. Thank goodness for historic footage and those kind enough to share their treasures :)
Shelly's Manne-Hole was a hip happening jazz dive on N. Cahuenga Blvd in Hollywood 'So Tasty... Listen to 'Hampton Hawes...
Hampton Hawes forever!!!!
Mr. Najponk
Wow cool. My favorite club in the sixties. I use to hang out at shelly's every chance i got. Friendly and relaxed. Los Angeles/Hollywood was great in those days...aside from the social problems.
'Yes, Shelly's on N Cahuenga was a Kick... LA had some Cool jazz dives during that era & 'Shelly's Manne-Hole' on N Cahuenga was when1st began jazz clubbing a few moons ago
As always, Ray Brown is awesome in this video!
Never realized how good Bob Cooper was!
the mannehole when the west coast was cool miss shelly and the men who played there
Hamp swung ferociously
Cannonball's band, and Shelly Mann's group at San Diego State Peterson Gym a year or 2 after this. We were so lucky back then.
Barney Kessel is the only one missing here. He said Ray Brown was the best bass player in the world. Shelly was also a ground-breaker - his drum technique was to use the kit to play MELODY!! With Joe Morello, I rate him the est too.
This intro just screams late 60s early 70s vibe...culture! Stand up bass is so missing in pop music...so rich and deep. make the baked potato all the more amazing...wanna go back in time, visit the baked potato on ventura...looks exactly like 1970 inside
The Baked Potato is still in gear 50+ years later... & Donte's Jazz dive on N Lankershim 4269 was Kick as well & the owner was So cool..... & Vitello's on N Tujunga also in N Hollywood is still in gear
"A Euro Film Production" - a damn shame it took a more appreciative European concern to get it together to film this, right in our own backyard (if I can refer to L.A. as a "backyard"), and keep it preserved for the ages. Thankfully someone did! Just think: they could've had a camera rolling (or at least a tape machine) 6 nights a week for 13 years. Oh, what we missed! (Except for the albums recorded there.)
Blues in the Basement 0:01
Stella By Starlight 13:26
Milestones 20:37
November 1969
Thank you!
@@bmbacchus Of course, my brother!
Whether jazz or not - these guys are the best musicians on Earth. Such skill and inventiveness.
Sorry bad mistake I said Rat instead of Ray Brown I apologize to every jazz fan in the world and especially to Ray Brown the absolute best ever.
Funny..Rat is what his closest friends called him
23:03 - 23:32 is just a perfect hand on the ride.
Very detailed material for the 70s, you can see the full movement of the hand and how he regards his fulcrum. Any drummer should slow this down and check that out, the flawless phrasing as well.
Jazz....in its purest form!!!!!
Thank you for sharing this! 🤩 In an article by Leonard Feather (November 2, 1969 edition of the Los Angeles Times) the filming of this event was described. It was shot using 3 cameras and apparently was meant for the European TV market. Producer Jack Lewerke explained they wanted to show the whole atmosphere of the clubs, complete with exteriors for the benefit of people who had never been able to visit them. He said that "we owe it to posterity to put some of the great musicians of our time on tape or film." Illustrating this by complaining that Hollywood hadn't spent an inch of film to Charlie Parker...that the only film on Art Tatum was in a brief scene in "The Fabulous Dorseys"....and that somebody only shot a half-hour educational film built around Coleman Hawkins towards the end of his life, when he was too old to play in the style he created... The article also mentions that "future episodes in the Jazz From Hollywood series will be shot at Donte's, the Lighthouse and other strongholds of Le Vrai Jazz." 🤓
Thanks a lot for sharing this knowledge about this vídeo!
I appreciated a lot
The name of the 1st tune: Blues In The Bassett (Ray Brown). I was a 15 year kid that found my way into the Mann Hole for years. Especially when Ray Brown was performing. 😂
Hampton, I love jazz piano, and H Hawes, one of my all time favourites, ,As a Britisher how I would have loved to be in LA during this period to experience these masters of cool jazz ...
but UK had as many masters of jazz.. Dudley Moore. Tubby Hayes ..Ronnie Scott.. Dizzy Reece.. Ronnie Ross/Annie Ross Vic Ash,, Johnny Dankworth..I could go on.. We all know the American greats.. how many out there know of our UK jazz greats.. Harvey Perkoff
Nice to Hear 'Impressions' in this cooler style, Hawes is definitely in his element here.
Hampton Hawes....
WOW 😮 1970 AWESOME 👏
I WISH I COULD OF BEEN THERE. AWESOME
A quartet of All-Stars. So great to see this!! Thanks for posting!!!!!
7:49 Saw Ray play at Yoshis Oakland with some piano and drum youngsters couple weeks before he passed.
Hard to describe his aura..full?
Lifetime of lifting other players to fly?
He was beautific.
A DIFERENÇA ENTRE RAY BROWN E RON CARTER, É QUE BROWN BRINCAVA ALEGREMENTE COM SEU INSTRUMENTO. ENQUANTO RON CARTER TOCAVA O SEU BAIXO DIVINO, QUASE COMO SE UMA TRISTEZA O LEVASSE ... !!!
Thanks! Merci! We're lucky to have acces to this amazing archive! Nous sommes chanceux d'avoir accès à ces archives inspirantes!
So lovely music by exelent musici WOW.....
man! If I could have been there.
It doesn't where, when, or with whom he is playing, Ray Brown always says it all. To amuse myself I make lists of my top 5 on each instrument> The only name that stands out from everyone else is Rat Brown
love he horn
gives thanks
What a treasure! Thank you!
great Joao ! Thank for sharing this incredible masterpiece !
I love this. I have it on VHS but it's great to have here. Thanks for posting!
Thank you!!!

+Tavo Gerard Yes indeed!
For genius Hampton Hawes and master Ray Brown.
Jazzzz forever
Grosse bombe de la cave !
Sweet...
Looks like Ernie Watts in the crowd at 00:30
Ray Brown jazz bass king
joya
That ofay can swing!
💙🌾🌱🙄
That’s right.
I wasn’t all that familiar with Bob Cooper, but I’m impressed.
It’s too bad they didn’t have a better piano for Hawes.
It’s more or less in tune, but it sounds rinky dink.
Is that the same Bob Cooper that was in Stan Kentons orchestra?
yup
Bob Cooper over Getz! The audience looks like zombies, this is not a lecture. If this music doesn't make you move, you're freakin' dead!
Yes. Never heard Cooper so good. He got to extend out here! Not just short takes. Good as it Getz!
I think they're an enraptured, listening crowd, and it's also a nice, diverse group of people. I believe they are deferring to the musicians, and are very gracious, as evidenced by their sincere applause after each solo. A busy, active crowd can be a distraction to the musicians. I think these people are true jazz listeners. Nothing wrong here, sir, and I'm probably glad I don't have to sit next to you at a concert!
@@johnvalentine3456 Yes, I know what you mean. A number of years ago I was in a very well known London, U.K. Jazz club.
The people all around me were talking continually when musicians were playing ( Voyeurs who probably been drinking elsewhere then decided they would visit " A Jazz Club " )
Get on this, when musicians finished playing each piece, these people would applaud but had never been listening to the music.
Peace to all.
Great music, terrible sound.
Still better than a smartphone recording of a contemporary concert.
Not that bad...but then again I have a huge collection of live Bird from the the 40's and live '60's Trane quartet tapes. Varying sound quality never bothered me in the least, as long as I can hear the musician's ideas and group cohesion...honestly just grateful for any record of such genius in action.
@@johnvalentine3456 That is awesome!
