1982 CHICK COREA, ROY HAYNES, MIROSLAV VITOUS at the White House

2016-01-31 1

Here is another treasure from the CRATES, i.e., dusty boxes of Betamax videotapes (some unlabeled) that were recorded from television broadcasts when Beta was the video standard and VHS had not yet emerged as a competitor.
This was a PBS television broadcast of a December 4, 1982 jazz concert at the White House during Ronald Reagans presidency. Later in the concert this trio is joined by Dizzy Gillespie & Jon Faddis on trumpet, Stan Getz on tenor saxophone, Diane Schur on vocals and Itzhak Perlman on violin. Watch it here:
In this clip we have Chick Corea on piano, Miroslav Vitous on bass and Roy Haynes on drums performing a seamless medley of three songs - a improvised segment followed by Autumn Leaves ( 2:20 ) and then Thelonious Monks Rhythm-a-ning ( 6:35 ).
For this drummers 85th birthday celebration in New York City in
2010 the world-famous Blue Note club had Chick Corea as the special
Saturday night guest, i.e, 28 years after the video youre watching.
Roy Haynes was as sprightly as ever, dapper, and still on top of his
game in every way. LONG LIVE ROY HAYNES !
Now subtract 80 years from his vintage and check out this up-and-coming drummer:
