The shadow of your smile is perhaps one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've heard to date. Just amazing.

[leanmchungry]

Yusef had a mental block announcing the name of the composer of The shadow of your smile, after announcing the song was written after the death of the composer's wife. It looks like the bass player told Yusef it was written by Henry Mancini. The music was actually written by Johnny Mandel for the film Sandpiper.

The flute solo on the shadow of your smile is incredible, thanks for sharing!

Pas un Français dans le quartet mais ils commencent par " Frère Jacques ". Ca fait plaisir. 🙂

Very good visual and audio quality.
And it’s great to see a young Pedersen digging in and having a good time.

The expression of calm on Kenny Drew's face at 6:40 with that blistering solo. Great playing all around. Great energy.

The third number is called "Yusef's Mood" and the final theme under band introduction was "Delilah" written by Victor Young. Thanks for sharing this wonderful concert!

[dimensionstomorrow]

Thanks! I’m studying flute and he is one of my favorite players. So happy to be able to see if perform live!

[Benbenforever]

Thanks for sharing these wonderful moments. I saw him at Ronnies in London around 1967. I can remember the room fell to silence, he was a great musician and very inventive at the time.

I first heard the Shadow of Your Smile around 1968 at Sahara Tahoe casino. I think the Sandpiper had just come out around then. Maybe Kenny didn't know it.

He called Henry Mancini a young man and Mancini was 44 at the time of this recording lol I love Henry Mancini and I really love Yusuf lateef, massive musicians
