@@eytonshalom Your triumvirat is a quatuor in fact because talking about jazz saxophone without Hawk who was the first is like to talk about trumpet without Louis
Bird was the best on alto sax, John was the best on tenor and probably gerry the best on baritono, but that things don't matter at all, we're blessed for have All of them, Genius of their instruments.
He plays 16ths like most play 8ths. It’s like he’s doing Bird’s Night in Tunisia pick up for 6 blues choruses, and adding chromatic harmony while he does it. 😳
Can anyone think of a reason why our K-12 curriculum shouldn't be replaced with jazz? Our children would be so much better educated and all that our schools would need would be phys-ed equipment and sound systems. Long-term exposure to jazz will cover all that is necessary for students to enter college, start work, or to apprentice. What do you guys think?
This is sick! Trane runs with the same tone he has on ballads! Tearing this blues 🐦 composed a decade earlier. I can't believe this is what black people were playing the year I was born! Golden decade of music. Donald Byrd!!!! Should have gotten more recognition than he did. Awesome
That's an exquisite Jazz trumpet solo from Donald B, every note clear and musical as is Red's solo but Trane's? When he slows it down it's world class but too many notes for mine. But bebop? I Dunno!
I saw this trumpeter, Donald Byrd, at Birdland in 1969 while transferring to the 76th Army Band in Germany waiting for our flight from New York to Germany. Coltrane was one of the greatest of all sax men.
What I love about this recording is how Donald Byrd comes in all sweet and lyrical (but eventually building up plenty of tension!) after Trane's blindingly breathtaking and explosive solo. TBH, I just can't get enough of this!
Sounds like Charlie Parker opened this set.This music is the soul of Israel the Royal Tribe of The Yahudeim from the land of Africa Khamet ,north East Egypt ,lower and Upper.
