What a musical cast...... Lou Levy worked at the LA SFV Jazz Club scene for yrs & Lou was with Med Flory & Supersax performing all over the Planet & in between gigging at 'Donte's on Lankershim Blvd in North Hollywood & 'Alfonse's on Riverside Dr. in Toluca Lake playing the riffs... of Charlie 'Yardbird' Parker in an Intimate Jazz supper club was Goose-bumps something else!......
My favorite version of this Gillespie classic. These cats really have it together. Great bass lines from the legendary Brown and my favorite Lou Levy piano solo. A great but too short solo by a vastly underrated pianist showing his influence by Bud Powell.
Stan Getz is God! He had a sound like velvet, cognac and smoke blended together. One of my greatest regrets in life is that I never got to see him perform live. (sigh)
amazing performances by everybody. and getz...is at his fiery best! i've always enjoyed his "Award Winner" CD but nothing compares to this live performance!
I agree 100%. Stan getz has been my no.1 for a long time. I sound almost like him now and people seem to like it because all the other cats sound like coltrane or brecker.
Ray Brown is the most recorded Jazz Player of all time ,,,by a landslide ,,, I believe he and Ed Thigpen were working with Oscar Peterson at the time I spoke to Ray at the London House in Chicago just a few months earlier.
