[@marcberner4717]

Thanks, all!!!

[@chrisdennehy9425]

Tremendous... Had he lived, Bird himself would’ve been only 51 in ‘73...

[@francescoferrarese4737]

L.A. 1973, with the GREAT Howard !!!

Why is jimmy Owens not better known? He just killed it!

[@nycboyforlife]

When I was at Queensborough College in Queens NY Jimmy Owens taught a jazz class for a year. It was alot of fun. Nice guy and an excellent teacher. I remember him tearing up a solo on a Blood Sweat & Tears song. He was awesome.

[@danielsmcgovern]

Wow! Burnin!

[@JazzVideoGuy]

yup

[@Blueshirt38]

Just as last time, Richard's bass solo was incredible!

[@rillloudmother]

i love ted dunbar's playing.

[@FawleyJude]

I've never seen him in a setting like this before, I only know him from his playing with Tony Williams, but I agree, it's some nice playing.

[@sainteal]

Stunning!!!

[@rmcellig]

I had to take my blood pressure after listening to this. What a band and what a version!! I have featured all of them since starting my radio show in 1988. Ted Dunbar is the only on who I have heard of but never featured. Incredible solo from him!! 😀

[@Jorisvanderkamp]

Wow, Richard Davis...not a single note in tune. An accomplishment in itself.

[@intuneorange]

If you say so .he is one of the best bassists and his ribs are delicious

[@farshimelt]

Cecil Payne was terribly underrated.

[@gitarwoman2]

Love this!

[@mikutakiseko2351]

Jimmy Owens !? He's Crazy !

[@JazzVideoGuy]

Like Dizzy, crazy like a fox.

[@sergioveschi5183]

Fantastico

[@2300skiddoo]

Well, we can probably admit that the whole is far less than the sum of its parts, but with parts this great, it's still a gas to watch. Thanks for another great post.

[@BennyMax37]

With Delphi excellent video with great performers, this is Jazz. Very interesting.

[@jimbosteen2935]

Wow, the trumpet player reallly sayin something!!!!!!!

[@homzymusic]

This is jazz - spontaneous & surprising. The faults emphasize the humanity. When Haynes leaves the drum set, he hangs Davis out to dry - and then loses a solo opportunity because he doesn't return in time. Owens & Konitz trade 4s while Payne & McGhee trade 8s. By the time they decide to play the tune, the tempo has sped-up significantly. The result of all this is an exciting performance born on the intensity of spontaneity -

[@charlesbarry6730]

The test piece of the bebop era.

[@danielalex8426]

いいね

[@drumtwo4seven]

The "head" sounds frantic... seems like the tempo slows by the time it reaches the first solo. ...no?

[@JazzVideoGuy]

yes

[@JonathanGeyer206]

What?! That was S-I-C-K

[@rsvljose]

*ironically all their solos was really good*

[@rillloudmother]

what is ironic about that?

[@Delfidash]

BennySax37 for Your

[@charlesbarry6730]

Bebop demanded more skill than swing and other types of jazz. Not all musicians vere capable of handling this type of music and some went into retirement.

[@SeanStanley1986]

Charles Barry different skills, not more. Typically bop guys can't play a ballad like the swing cats.

[@kamehameha5742]

SeanStanley1986 Agreed

[@Thouveninpascal]

This dirty habit of playing this title too fast, everyone paddles, Bird never played that at that speed, it is not "Be bop" or "Cherokee".

[@emilianoturazzi]

I agree...

[@Thouveninpascal]

@@emilianoturazzi basically, only great musicians, and music quite painful to listen to, which smells of sweat, definitly not the "Donna Lee "tempo.

[@neoncornelius]

This is some bad stuff!

[@JazzAnswer99]

I think your ears need a cleaning, Joris.

[@maisqpoesia9999lcg]

Wow!!! Absolute amazing!!! Thank you for sharing!!!
