Some say goodbye Tony , some say hallo. Tony is great, wonderful version of this alltime classic. Yeah.

[@jeanpierrecarpentier]

This has to be one of the best tenor sax playing ever,, in my own book anyway. And.also what an awesome band

[@hansschonfelder735]

habe das gerade zum ersten mal gehört. es ist unbeschreiblich gut. bin ein totaler Lakatos-fan!

[@PaulReadMusic]

This is jaw droppingly great!

[@2005rosebud]

Great Tenor Sax player

[@gidoherbers]

Awesome. That is pure fun to listen how tight the others join Tony in alternating unison lines from 4:40 on. Cool arrangement.

[@juanpresas5875]

that octaves soli is the exact transcription of coleman hawkins solo on body and soul. Great idea and impecable playing!

[@imaringmach55]

where is the melody of Body and Soul? Terrible fake notes!
