The Dave Brubeck Trio at the 7th Newport Jazz Festival • 1971 • World of Jazz

 


Full Concert Friday again this week.

Raw but unique recordings of Dave Brubeck & his Trio with Gerry Mulligan and Paul Desmond, the Charles Mingus Quartet and Jimmy Smith at the 7th Newport Jazz Festival at the Doelen, Rotterdam, The Netherlands, 1971.'

* Dave Brubeck performs a great concert with his sidemen Jack Six, bass and Allan Dawson, drums. The trio is completed with tenor saxophonist Paul Desmond and baritone saxophonist Gerry Mulligan. 

Unfortunately, the concert that runs between between 02.00 and 35’20 has some drop-outs and hic-ups at 5’18”. 

Pianist Dave Brubeck and his jazzmen play the following repertoire:

“Line for Lyons".
"Take five".
"Take the A-train".

* At 35’20” The concert is followed by two outtakes of the Charles Mingus Quintet at the same 7th Newport Jazz Festival

* At 54’20” unfortunately there is a sharp cut. The last part of the tape recording is a unique performance of Hammond organist Jimmy Smith featuring among others the illustre Illinois Jacquet on tenor saxophone and a great solo of Art Farmer on flugelhorn. With also Kenny Burrell on guitar, Clark Terry on baritone saxophone and Roy Haynes on drums. 

A unique recording!

Oh, the joys of analog and either VHS tape or at this time, Betamax tape and the advent of videotape recording being transferred of course, in our modern age, to digital.
