Mulligan, Brubeck & Desmond - the heroes of my youth in the 1950's. Their records took all my pocket money. I don't regret one penny of it.

Paul Desmond touches my soul. Thank God I discovered jazz!

What creativity !! Desmond was just so great. He's a poet on the sax. The whole group was great.

動画のデズモンド初めてでした。 心をこめて吹く姿、感動しました。 サウンドが美しいです。

The immortal version of Desmond and Mulligan on steroids? (due the richness and incredibly rich ideas that come pouring throughout). Unbelievably Good. Bravo Dave and all of you!

Alan Dawson on drums. Desmond's playing was like gold pouring from a cup.

I couldn't agree more; a superb analogy 'like gold pouring from a cup'. He's always fantastic, despite the fact that he has the looks of a banking exec. What a fantastic technique and delicate touch, always the epitome of taste. Of course, everyone in All the things you are, here, is great. I also find the interplay of Mulligan and Desmond magically complimentary at every step during fugue ensemble work. Bach is in there somewhere, especially prominent in the fantastic Mulligan/Brubeck/Desmond fugues that end the piece. Sheer magic!!! I can now die in peace! Joe S-M

Desmond and Mulligan and Stan Getz are instantly recognizable. I was lucky enough to see all of them perform - so long ago.

Nobody will do nothing better than Gerry & Paul in the future on that theme!! wooww brilliant!

I was jamming and one of the guys called this tune as "All the Chords There Are." If you've played it, you just laughed.

Paul Desmond - one word. BRAVO.

El diálogo de saxofones entre Gerry y Desmond es toda una obra de arte.

Gli assolo di Mulligan sono sempre particolarmente attraenti.... Brubeck indimenticato!

What a tone, what technical ability, what thought process, what taste, what humor, what creativity. I guess that covers it all.

I am not so sure about some of the fashion choices on this one but the musicality is off the charts! I can't get enough of listening to Paul Desmond's tone.

The 70s were the nadir of men’s fashion. I was lucky enough to be at Berkeley in the late 50s and loved going across the bridge tonSFvand seeing him live, along with Ahmad Jamal and the MJQ and many others. Hair was short and I think I wore Madras Giant shirts and chinos with Bass Weejuns and still got in.

The interplay between Paul and Gerry, especially at the end, is something that can’t be taught. Two of the best ever. Thanks for sharing.

it’s as if they’re creating a fugue!

The coolest thing about Paul Desmond's playing (besides his tone, which is often flute-like!) is that he uses this concept: he will take a short idea or motif, and then repeat it, keeping the rhythm the same, but changing the notes to fit the new chords of the tune as they arise. One of the ways that this concept can be used is to create tension that is finally released when the soloist stops using that motif (tho this is not what Desmond does here--he creates a momentary tension, but then steps back into his flow of ideas). You can also hear this "repeated motif" concept at 1:24 to 1:38, and quite prominently at 1:54 to 2:03, as he twists and turns that motif. Once you know what this concept sounds like, you will be hearing it in lots of his solos. Happy hunting!

Dude thank you for explaining this and I'm not a musician in any sense..absolutely no knowledge but I have a deep love and appreciation for jazz as I equate to the visual art which I am a practitioner of..and though I've heard Desmond a million times before and LOVE his soloing I never knew this. I think I kind of understand because that repetition thing and release you talk about was always a cool thing that I sort of liked but never really was aware of it until now!

Paul Desmond, sempre così impeccabile, riesce a pensare l'impensabile, jazzisticamente parlando, assecondato in maniera commovente da Mulligan. E Brubeck, in versione pseudo-frickettona.. Spettacolo puro!

Genius at work

This has to be one of the greatest Paul Desmond solos of all time--he starts swinging harder and harder, he plays louder, with real aggression but also real joy. And Ilove Brubeck's perfect comping behind him.

This is when musicians had talent. But Brubeck and Desmond were truly special.

The interplay between Paul and Jerry was a matching of genius. Counterpoint to a brilliant extemporizer.

That´s jazz, that´s precision, that´s Dave Brubeck and Friends, that´s two great saxes playing off with one another. Beautiful.

Sublime. Just some of the most lyrical, beautiful and free music you will ever hear. Thanks for this. Great quality too.

Nice chemistry between GM & PD, w/solid rhythm of DB et al. ,-- blending & counterpoint & drive!

Amazing performance. Thank you for posting this. For the record I believe that's Jack Six on bass and Alan Dawson on drums.

The interplay between Gerry and Paul is like a barock fuge, with the bariton playing the left hand, alto the right hand. This is exactly the right song to showcase their ability of chamber music playing. Genial.

Desmond quotes "Isn't it Romantic" right at the beginning of his solo, using a motif laid out by Mulligan. Nice piece of interplay!

Love all these guys, used to have many of Brubeck's Quartet albums (w/ Wright, Desmond and Morello) and I used to crank up the stereo after class in high school and try to keep up w/Morello on my drum set, LOL, but listening to Gerry Mulligan just stuns me. The way he does those runs makes it sound like a flamenco guitar transcription for baritone sax. Amazing technique. Thanks for posting this gem. Liked and Favorited.

Ah mazing clip. Thanks so much

The three way fugal work at the end is incredible 😊

Artists collaborating on the stage. Magnificent. Rare these days.

As a bari player I’ve always gone for a rougher sound, in part because that’s what comes out of my Bobby Dukoff D8 and Yanagisawa B990... perhaps the best investment of my life. While the Harley Davidson sound has its place, I’ve always been envious of the beautiful tones of Mulligan and Desmond. With Stan Getz taking the tenor role... three unique and wonderful musicians from another time. I always get a kick out of Paul’s shoulder wiggles when he plays, almost reminds me of Petula Clark... lol. This is an amazing track and quality is almost surreal for something 50 years ago. Saved to my faves. Maybe I should find me an older rubber bari piece and try and tone down my Yani. And relax. I have a vise grip embouchure I inherited from my dad - a classical clarinetist. I can’t get anything above a high C or D out of my bari with a closed tip... that’s why I went with the Dukoff as a virtual beginner. I’ve become as dependent on my gear as Gerry. Although not as well known......

Bach, Prez, Desmond, Mulligan, Barry Harris -- the great musical poets of their respective generations! I feel so lucky to have heard the last three in person, to have Prez's recordings, and to have grown up listening to Bach.

What tremendously exciting music.

damn that piano solo was like bach or something

These musicians are God's wonder.

Excepcional apresentação em Newport. Todos excelentes músicos.

great great performance. I repeat and repeat this. Somehow, this one got all the elements there- team work, beautiful rhythm, talents, pure joy from the musicians.

Now I know I need nothing else for today.

Bravo in 2019!!

its interesting to see how different Desmond sounds with different reeds and or approaches to tone on various videos of him playing live.

All masters. But Brubeck, man! Effortlessly time travels back to the baroque world then reappears in the hear and now.

Wonderful a treasure. I didn't know that Desmond and Mulligan recorded their imortal perfomance of this song with Brubeck (who is superb, as usual). Many THX!
