How I wish all these years hadn't gone by so quickly? That is all our fate Isi't it? Just as we start getting some remote clue about life; it disappears in the rearview mirror? There would appear something deep in human DNA that predisposes us to love such exquisite sounds? That magic gets processed chemically in amazing brain like James Moody. Then the wisdom of 3.2 billion years of evolution and a vision of the future comes streaming out. Now that some heavy s- - - ? Thanks for posting this lovely piece of perfection. Love them all Dizzy, Kenny Barron, all of them beautiful human beings. We all owe them so much. With any luck they're on the other side of a black hole still flouting around somewhere?

His fingers barly move😮

... Like Charlie Parker, but on flute. Amazing.

What?

Some weird stuff going on here. The head is playing in the key of E flat. But then Sonny takes a solo D flat. Dizzy cuts off Sonny’s solo and comes in at the wrong time and abruptly switches back to E flat. Was it Sonny’s fault for slipping into Db flat? I don’t think so, because the coda modulate to D flat. Sonny’s ears are so exquisitely attuned that he couldn’t help but follow the modulation. It seems to me like some kind of miscommunication - if it was deliberate, it would be highly unusual, but you never know. Anyway, they both play beautifully.

Top of the mark! ❤

En el espacio hay un planeta que se llama Jazz, de ese planeta nacieron varios mounstros y James es uno de ellos

This song makes me wa t to move to a foreign place and fall in love with a girl half my 45 years.

o imensă frumusețe tristă !❤

I knew him a little. Very humble guy.

This guy is absolutely insane on the flute. The saxophone playing of course is legendary and brilliant but man that flute is outrageous!!!!

Lyrically insightful & informative when music was sweet to the ears,RIP to the Greats.

Fabulous both of them.

thank you for having opportunity

75/4/1, Copenhagen, Dexters Jazzparty - Dexter Gordon (ts) Red Rodney (t) Kenny Drew (p) Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen (b) Sven Erik Nørregaard (d) Here, another tune from that day, sadly I coudn't find the other two missing parts ruclips.net/video/Kvn1qOwF2_k/видео.html

Amazing! thank you so much!

Great music, thank you!

It would have been wonderful if they had sang a duet. I can't help my share a re-mix I just did of a fusion of a Perry Como song with an Erasure Remake. And old Burt Bacharach Song. Here is that link to my main uTube page, the Acoustic Rabbit Hole ruclips.net/video/eDKea2LlB8Q/видео.html

Crisp, supernatural technique AND with passion.

Mr. Moody played the hell out of that flute...WOW!!!

How come peter louis is not found anywhere on google / wiki? Is the drummer name wrong?

where’s my transcription at

no sabia que james moody fuera tan bueno en la flauta si sabia que tocaba pero nunca tan bien

I just listened to a 10h French podcast radio show on Sonny Rollins (yes, 10x 1h, covering 1951-2001!!!). A torture, but I'm like that, I dive into an artist and I listen to everything, or almost. To have my own opinion. My opinion of Rollins is that he seems very overrated to me. As a player/improviser First of all as a player/improviser, he does not seem to me better than Johnny Griffin, Sonny Stitt, Roland Kirk, Phil Woods, Lateef, Pharoah Sanders, Hank Mobley... but enjoys a much greater notoriety... and unjustified in my opinion. Ok he plays well, but not better in my opinion than the musicians above. Listen to Eternal Triangle which puts Rollins and Stitt together. Here they are VERY evenly matched technique wise but it is Rollins who is the more famous today. There is a lot of study done on Rollins' solos and they are generally accepted to be examples of strong overall thematic construction and development. This somewhat implies that others just play randomly. I'm not entirely convinced by that argument. If you like it, its a strength, if you think its an excuse for repetition, you'd think not. As a composer At the level of the composition, he did not compose anything, everyone knows that his hit ''St Thomas'' is a Caribbean folklore already recorded by Randy Weston in 1955 under the title ''Fire Down There''. St Thomas is an example of cultural transference. It is infact originally The Lincolnshire Poacher. An old english folk tune. It was taken to the Carribean presumably on the slave ships but possibly even earlier by the pirate ships (appropriate given its title). It gets transmuted into a Carribean Folk tune and then Rollins recalls it from his childhood being sung by his mother and renames it after the Island. I had assumed St Thomas was what his mother called it, but the Ted Heath Band, a British Big Band of the 1950s had a big(ish) hit with 'The Lincolnshire Poacher' done presumably as a 'ripost' to St Thomas. His ''Tenor Madness'' is a composition by Kenny Clarke published in 1947 under the title ''Rue Chaptal''. His other compositions from the 50s... well, Oleo, Airegin etc... it can in no way be compared to the compositions of Trane, Bird, Monk or Shorter... One thing that always struck me that I've heard no one else mention is that the Alfie theme is merely a reworking of the intro to 'Singing In The Rain!' Sound and artistic vision I find this a curious aspect. Early on, in the 50s his sound was distinct enough but it became more distinctive later. It is an odd sound for tenor but its one I hear more and more players now using. I'm not quite sure how its done or if there is a physiological reason for it. I have found it to be an aquired taste. Moreover, his playing and his sound are terribly degraded after 1966 (36 years). Something happened on that bridge, he lost his mind. He seems to have been traumatized by the arrival of Ornette, Trane, Ayler... In the 60s he tried to be freer than Ayler, more calypso/blues than Ornette, and more mystical than Trane, but without succeeding because so superficial... Then in the 70s/80s he tried his hand at funk, disco... with really ridiculous and corny results... Did he want to be funkier than James Brown himself? More disco than Chic and Nile Rodgers? On ''SAIS'' from the ''Horn Culture'' album, one example among many, just picking up a random piece between 1966 and 2001....It's a shame. He plays out of tune, out of rhythm, with an absolutely disgusting sound. It is a lack of respect towards himself, the other musicians and the listener. No normally constituted musician would have agreed to let this recording be released. The problem with Rollins is that EVERYTHING IS LIKE THIS after 1966. He even said himself that he was high on marijuana when he recorded his solo album ''Soloscope'' at the Museum of Modern Art. from NYC...Also listen to the result, it's ridiculous and disrespectful towards the listeners... Ego and money Also, on the radio show, they say he was paid today's $300,000 for himself to record the Nucleus album (listen to the result!!!!), and that for his concerts, his Financial claims were unrealistic, only big festivals could afford it. He played with the Stones but didn't want to tour with them because, according to Mike Jagger himself, he wanted too much money! I am not making anything up here. In a blindfold test published in downbeat in 2006, he doesn't recognize ANY saxophonist, even taking James Carter for Don Byas! Totally mind-blowing and revealing! Conclusion In conclusion Sonny Rollins is for me the archetype of a narcissistic complacency encouraged by the fans and the milieu which has placed him on a throne since 1956 and his (very average) album ''saxophone colossus''. You have to be quite arrogant to glorify yourself as a ''saxophone colossus'' at 26 years old when BIRD had just died the previous year.

That’s the broken down Quincy Jones Orchestra , Budd Johnson , Jimmy Cleveland , Clarke Terry Patty Brown , Joe Harris and of Phil Woods

Kenny sounds amazing.

The TV Director know what his shots needed to be and the cameras were right there. Unless this was a film production with many takes.
