This Miles guy sounds pretty good, I think he might have a future in music

What a welcome session--one I didn't know existed. This was during Miles tour of Europe immediately following Trane's departure. Miles was determined to play modal or free. Sonny stuck to bebop melodic ideas and played rhythmically with the bar lines in mind. Musically, Miles and Stitt had grown far apart since their days in the Billy Eckstine Band. It made for an endlessly fascinatingcontrast between Stitt's mainstream bebop and Miles' more experimental modal, even free, jazz.

Sonny Stitt performed with more sense of language than Miles ...but the band didn't find a way to swing, anyway! It seems that it's an european band.

[@kennyr1161]

It wasn't it was his usual section

[@drlluc]

what about the rhythm section?

[@lxxwj]

they literally introduce the band at the beginning lmao

[@stewartwforbes]

That bans swings it ass off !

[@donmiller7346]

Holy Schmitt! I don't know what you're talking about. The credits are right on the link and the announcer introduces all the players by name and instrument right before the first tune. Also, that aside, I can identify everyone of the players by their playing. It's a dead giveaway. And the day Wynton Kelly or Paul C and Jimmy Cobb couldn't swing had never occurred. Three of the swingin'est cat's ever! Jus' sayin'.
