paquito just teared up that solo right in every1's face

[@Edunei]

the world was sadder without Dizzy

[@theloniousratledge8835]

VERO...

[@carlinabbott]

probably one of the best sax solos i have ever heard

[@mikaylasax]

WOW! This is one of the best videos I've seen on KZbin. Paquito's sax solo was amazing. Even Dizzy loved it! We get to meet Paquito this September. Can't wait! Thanks SOOOO much for posting this!

[@RACS69]

Arturo's wailing lead trumpet here is amazing, as always. This is not one of Dizzy's best solos, but the late trumpeter is a legend and did help invent bebop, and also helped to popularize early Latin-jazz. He's also a heck of a dancer, showman, and bandleader. His puffed-cheek embouchure and up-titled trumpet bell have helped to make him a widely recogized visual icon. And his distictive musical style has made him legendary music figure

[@nilacurry4230]

So much CULTURE! The Afro-Cuban beat, the All-American jazz drumming, the harmonious bass, trumpet, and sax!!!!!!

[@bardwash]

It literally does not get better than this :)

[@GeneralTrousers]

In 1989 I lived in Nigeria, and Dizzy came. We went crazy, feted him and made him a chief of several villages. He played with local Jazz artist named Doye Agama (a flautist) and the cuban guy on congas conjured all the yoruba ancestors in a wicked drum solo. One of the great memories. @

[@b4m1as]

What you brought the World can never be replaced. What you've spawned in jazz lovers hearts will live into eternity. I love you man. I really do.

[@LittlJohn]

I just wish people will respect Dizzy, regardless even in this and his other last performances he was still the best on that stage and the world and this time. He is the reason why everyone on that stage became as great as they did without him they would have really been nothing. This is one of my favorites of Dizzy.
