Too bad the original got taken down. I love watching the dampening of the piano by hand. Which is why it sounds so plucky. So sick!

Al M I mean this kinda proves their point. Nobody knew who they were and kinda just watched the video without thinking about them. As a business move it’s better for them to use it and if not then no one at all.

RIP to the drummer Montez Coleman who passed last week. Happy rhythms with Roy in the after life.

[@jorymil]

Oh no! Rest well, Montez. This recording is such an influence for me on drums. We lose too many jazz musicians too young. For those watching, genuinely--take care of yourselves.

[@beyonder7776]

This song straight-up just made me a fan of jazz. I was into Jaco and stuff before, since that's essential listening as a bassist, but...man. This made it all click.

[@goodzilla3122]

I am genuinely pissed that Qwest TV keeps taking down the O.G. version that has crisp footage. Why post it on Hargrove's birthday to celebrate his life if you're just going to delete it a month later as if it's somebody's to keep? And if it's KZbin and not Qwest who's responsible then they're the ones I'm mad at. A recording like this shouldn't be hogged. I think whoever owns the footage has an obligation to make it available and accessible for all of mankind. Thanks to this uploader for at least making the audio available though

[@Bardon222]

Hargrove's solo on this has me making the stank face EVERY SECOND.

Justin Robinson's solo is incredible as fuck this is one of the most underated saxophone alto actually

[@ianmoore5502]

Dude when it got weird I FELT it It was moving idk how to explain it Crooked Raw

[@seizethemeansproduction]

It hits literally every dynamic the instrument is capable of. He plays inside the harmony and outside of it equally as beautifully. He makes it whisper and he makes it shriek and wail and cry. I think about this solo at least once a week and i really don't know if I've personally ever seen someone as connected to their instrument as he is in that moment. Derek Trucks comes close sometimes

[@OdinLimaye]

This is one of the greatest jazz performances of all time!

[@tunein2able]

Agreed!

[@NA1c158]

Yo, that moment when Robinson follows up Hargroves electrifying solo with a soft, sweet, seductive line that begs for more. Good God.

[@seizethemeansproduction]

He's an absolute master of his instrument. he hits every dynamic the instrument is capable of. he leads you into a this crooked, raw, intensely emotion ride that very few musicians are capable of. i think about his solo at least once a week

[@davezollner5674]

This is the best tune I have ever heard anywhere anytime: it is such non-stop concentrated superior delivery. Terribly, the video is gone off YT, as seeing them and the audience in action completed the senses. There are 3 amazing orgasms in this tune: piano, trumpet, and then sax. Gerald absolutely crushed it out of the park on piano. And for all the great drummers I've seen, Montez was amazingly involved. Poor bassist, got lost in all the perfection. I don't know what these guys were smoking, but it had to have been some really good shit [or maybe simply being in Paris??] I've thought of this many times: this is the most engaging and emotional piece I've ever come across [OK, maybe with the exception of Handel's Messiah].

[@VegasA3]

Nah, drums and bass were in on that perfection. A lot of bass players don't add to the conversation in solos, just walking (which is completely fine) but Danton played walking lines, hits, with variety and added to the language of the solos for sure
