Don't Get Around Much Anymore

Count Basie and Al Grey, the master of the plunger!

[@christopherholt9682]

What I like most about Al Grey's playing is that whenever he improvises all of his solos are always happy and melodic. He's definitely one of my favorite trombone players.

[@willfulliam]

True story. I even love the solos he took on his last LP, when he was like a million years old. Echos of Harlem 🔥🎺💀. I hope I’m playing like when I go.

[@jean-philippelarpin8672]

I was fortunate to do a few gigs in my home country with the wonderful Al Grey, when I was young... and a small tour with Curtis Fuller (who appears at 2:03) a few years later. Awesome memories

[@slugoz7709]

2:03 Curtis Fuller diggin' mr. Grey's playing!

[@willfulliam]

"Man you know I taught him all that stuff."

[@3OrMoreBones]

Gonna have to transcribe this one!

[@stanleynkele3649]

Well played by Al Grey with the trombone.I never thought it could come out so beautifully with the trombone. My first choice would still be Duke Ellington Ochestra with Johnny Hodges laying with his alto sax

[@estesgeorge6323]

No one really ever thinks the trombone can sound beautiful, it's quite sad

[@poser_skateboarder889]

@@estesgeorge6323 As an alto sax player myself, I actually like this version better and I wanna learn trombone because of these types of players

[@johnwhitehead3360]

Why bother leaving the house at all? Just spoon some nutrients into my face from time to time.

QÜESTIÓN...... ANSWER.....

[@serranoferny_]

does anyone know where i can get an arrangement of this?

[@jiyujizai]

🥀❤️🐬😀

[@Santibag]

Is that a plumbing plunger or a purpose made plunger for the instrument?

[@mikegraziano1562]

Older style real rubber plunger with the inside rim cut off.

[@djthemoretaiwan]

Norman Keenan on bass?

[@nancyeckroad-haney7309]

Can anyone tell me when this was filmed? I'm thinking late '60s just because he looks like he looked then. Anyone?

[@derrickmilton8252]

It has to be after 1975. Butch Miles on drums - he didn't join until 1975.

[@martindowney8737]

You are nearly dead. What are you going to do about it?
