In A Mellow Tone (Part 2/2) - Dizzy Gillespie/Clark Terry/Harry "Sweets" Edison/Gene Harris/... 

This is the wonderful music and talent that is missing today. These phenomenal musicians were among the very best who ever existed.

This makes you thank the good Lord for your hearing!

Ray Brown, #BassClef legendary players, what a great formulation of scales that man has on the just & upright BASS. lininho, thank you kindly, #Cia. the roderunner.

This is all about Sweets! he is total ticket....you can watch the cats start to drool and get excited when Sweets does his thing! sooooo funky

How could this music just die away, never to return. Another of life’s unexplained mysterys.

So much to love here !!! My dear friend and mentor, James Moody !!! Clark's all around brilliance, and the slick Star Eyes quote. Sweets' laid back but rock solid time feel, and Straighten Up and Fly right quote. And this is just to name a few in a slew of brilliance and deeply swingin' playing.........

Sweets hits it every single time. He was the one the only the omega etc. What a heavenly sound.

Just the first two notes of Clark Terry's solo and I'm already in love with this solo! He is truly a Genius!

Damn ! It don't get any better than this ....

Another reason to thank our Lucky Stars for You Tube!!!As time goes on,and these great musicians depart this earth,we all hopefully realize just how fortunate we are to have these clips available,any time we wish to enjoy them!

This is why I play!!!!

Excellent all round, but the standout for me is Ray Brown - very clearly recorded. His lines are superb, and the intonation is spot on. Bass playing doesn't get better than that.

Clark Terry was a genius of Jazz

Life was so good then.

This is soooooo good. Amazing collection of talent sharing the stage. Thanks for posting.

It nothing But a Party when the Greats get together!

quelques gros plants -si rares-surce merveilleux aérateur de section rythmique qu'était freddy greene

Something this awesome deserves no dislikes! :D

I just love how clark terry starts his solo, taking over moody's idea and then bringing it back when drums and piano come back in (beginning of his 2nd chorus)

The greatest flugelhorn player of all time, right there.

Gene Harris...TITAN!

Yes , true. Life was good then COVID free Fun filled joyous days. Good time s just gone forever.

the fact that Diz adjusted Clark's microphone says the level of respect he had for clark(and im sure vice versa) and that clark was the real deal. Clark's my favorite of all time.

It just feels so good...fuhhnn...

Straordinario eccellenza 2023..

Shit Folks! This is so dam swinging and cool from all These Cats! But also watch/listen to the steady/crisp comping from the LEGEND Freddy Green on guitar mostly known fm the Basie Band.

Gene Harris..... WOW!!!!

Sweets was the BOSS!!!!!!
