Martina is the CRAZIEST mix of Fats Waller's, Louis Armstrong's and Ella's free but infectiously swinging vocal styles that I've EVER heard. Absolutely mindblowing.
Great interpretation of a great tune!!! ...Bringing back THE FORM!!! ...As a Bassist myself, I was really diggin' Russell's lines on that one! ...Nice little arrangement you've got there!!! ...As always, some mighty fine chops on display by all!!! ... This music puts SPRING in ones step!!! ...Love it!!!
The saxophonist, as good as he is, is a _time hog_ . Way too long of a solo, and should have let the _singer_ trade the fours, or simply just let the drummer take a solo.
@@pada443 Not a wise assumption, on your part. I am a jazz saxophonist who has been active for over 30 years, and I am well aware of how long solos can be. I am one who loves to take long solos when appropriate. When you have a singer who is obviously supposed to be featured as the lead for the song, as in this case, a solo of this length is out of order. But it doesn't bother me that you disagree.
@@trumbaron , well, when you look at jazz history, you see that there have always been unwritten "rules." Swing-era Kansas City jam session participants had better not repeat ANY material that another player has used in _his_ solo; and he had *better* not play the same licks twice, or he is run off the stage as a fraud. Dr. Lonnie Smith has stopped a jam session and run guys off the stage for taking too long of a solo, hogging up the time and playing only "what we have all heard before." And he is not the only one.
