The Sidewinder is the kind of jazz I like to listen to regardless of my mood. If I am angry, it calms me down, if sad, it cheers me up, if I am happy, the magic melody makes me feel elated.

Hi! Is that a Hungarian name?

[@YUMA-jz9xx]

This was a huge hit. So popular even Chrysler used it in its ads (without permission until Lee sued them). Lee lives on in our toe tapping body swaying moving along with all the jazz he created especially with this one. Beauty and immortality in its simplicity! Thank you, Lee! Rest in peace, now free.

Bob Crenshaw is putting it down on that bass. In the background, but for me, that’s the focal point of this song

[@shirleyashanti3031]

Barry Harris on piano is magnificent. This is a true American masterpiece for everyone. Hard to believe it's from a half century ago, back when I was still cute. Always a favorite. Classy classic.

baseline sounds hella like smash bros character select screen

[@mighty9100]

After the bass solo, they had to do a take two because BobCrenshaw forgot the original intro kick that you hear in the beginning of the song. The two takes had to be spliced together to make it sound like one take.

mighty9100 that’s great haha

[@beverlymaiden3346]

They all are kicking it on this piece. One of my favorite songs of all time! They are so "Bad," as in "Bad to the bone." Love it!

[@julantacarriere5543]

wow

Ли Морган и Лу Доналдсон, као и остали, су врх врхова. Победнички и суптилно...

[@paulg1886]

[@MrRatherino]

rockin' it..shot down dead at Slug's aptly named by mad scorned woman in a blizzard...what a way for a jazzman to go!

Sad, yes, even more as she was his 'Common Law' wife.

[@garys8990]

Great sounding group and great song! thanks for posting.

[@juliobalaguerferrer4102]

👏👏👏👏👏

[@robertholden3121]

About 6:50 into the piece, I like the segments where the piano and later, the bass dominate. Good, steady drumming.

My favorite Trumpeter ever Lee Freakin' Morgan.
