Arnett Cobb and Buddy Tate Tenorsax Battle

[@MrBoybergs]

Love the way these guys can say more with just a few, perfectly chosen notes in each phrase than most modern players can say with about 50.

How true two honking Texas Tenors, Big sounds,bluesy,funky great stuff

[@prestoncole8614]

I appreciate and acknowledge our great, great, great, grand parents for motivating this group of giants to play with such virtuosity, despite the fact they had enter through the back door to entertain, yet still dedicated this song from where it all begin to the women in their lives. "She got it."

[@kathycahill1698]

These guys were fantastic. There will never be another like them. I saw Buddy, Arnett and Illinois Jacquet together at Sandy's Jazz Revival in Beverly MA. Unbelievable all the talent in that room!

Deux des grands Texas Tenors... Un vrai bonheur !

[@ZOGGYDOGGY]

I was lucky enough to hear these two guys play at the Keystone Korner in Frisco back around this year, 1979.

[@JacobCuevasVFX]

Houston legend Arnett Cobb!

Superbe des géants du tenor un régal..

[@zootMKVI]

Saw these 'Tenor Sax Battles' many times in the '80s at the North Sea Festival - they seemed to be appreciated more on the continent.

[@MustHaveWine]

[@israelmoloi2722]

[@sixteenman]

when jazz wasn't boring ! very great!

[@claudebassoulet4635]

sUPERBE!!!!!! SUPERBE, merci a l'ami qui vient de me passer le lien

[@sellobodibe5888]

Well the old chaps talk less but play more. Exciting to watch the masters in their craft. Creativity ,experiance and skill are all put in notes to do the talking. Yes jazz was once the main and centre of entertainment for all but it has taken a back seat with software replacing the real thing.What a shame.

[@MustHaveWine]

Wholeheartedly agree....

[@silver10m10]

like a ride you don't ever want to stop.....

[@stevearterbery9850]

Thumbs up Uncle Buddy!!

[@stevearterbery9850]

Even though you left us we will never 4 get you and treasure your love, wonderful demeanor and your God gifted musical talent. I know the streets of Heaven are just rocking and serenading to that wonderful music of yours. We love and miss you Uncle Buddy. ...

[@andrewgillis8572]

@bluebossa The same thing Mme Jeanne Calment, France's oldest woman, said she was sitting on

[@RAMLIA1]

❤️❤️❤️

[@marcroigcebrian]

Texas rules 🎷!

[@byronsigrano6849]

Martin Magna meets Yamaha YTS61 and, yes sir, can't those two legends wring some fantastic music out of them...

[@michaelblakemusic6305]

Byron Sigrano I'm pretty sure that's a super balanced action Arnette is playing. Buffy is definitely on a Martin. As you can see from the tenor battle, they all preferred metal Links! Haha

[@Dueruemtarget]

Michael Blake Buddy Don‘t play a Martin, it‘s a Conn 30M. Typical features are underslung octave mechanism and the „Conn“ strut under the neck. Arnett played a Selmer, yes, but that was in the 50s and 60s. He changed to Yamaha, you can see it by the Logo on the neck octave key. Selmer saxophones has the big „S“ since the Mark VI, the Yamaha logo on the neck is much smaller.

[@udomatthiasdrums5322]

like it!!

[@Divine6]

Mein Gott, 1979 beim Northsea, da war auch die unglaubliche Dorothy Donegan So was kommt nicht wieder.....

[@TomParmenter]

"She's got it, she keeps it, she sits right on it, she just won't give it away, if anybody gets it he sure has got to pay." Since you are French, I'm sure you can figure out what's going on.

[@karlgunnar29]

Vilka blåsare det är på sina instrument i en duell på saxar som låter stort.G.W.
