I knew because I accidentally stumbled over a record with these guys in a library many years ago. I am still looking for a tune with phantastic short solos by John Coltrane and Billy Taylor that is not included here. Couldn't you find it, Bernie? I think it was from a studio session.
This recording is dedicated to those who actually believe that tony William's invented uptempo playing in jazz! This comes from who loves Tony's playing.
Bud squeezes an awful lot of notes into the 8 bars of the Tunisia bridge at 7:07. It's fully Tiger Rag speed-wise, damn close to Tatum clean-technique wise, and much more interesting. I sent this link to a friend who used to frequently make his way down to the Apollo and Birdland in the 50's from the Connecticut suburbs as a white teenager. He is prone to hyperbole, but he termed it "one of the great finds of the 20th century!" Tx for this upload.
trane is already so good. pretty much past any other tenor already..., to my opinion, obviously. on tunisia he already sounds more modern than the bebop that his been laid down.original.
If you think he’s past Sonny Rollins who had just started making his name at this time you don’t know jazz! Let alone Dexter, Wardell and others who were more established on the instrument at the time. Many names I could mention. Trane continued to develop over time and by 57 was a monster but he’s not there yet here though still a unique and interesting voice. Let’s not over hero worship and rewrite history!
DG always heard big bands and wanted and got that sound and impact, perhaps to the point of excess arranging/control. Coltrane and Miles were of the next generation not beholden to that tightness, verticality of rhythm expression, dancibility, and mania for detailed ensemble precision. That said, this holds up 70 years later, and gives a good sense of how the finest minds on the music scene then were operating. Both historical and good, if you can overlook Billy Taylor's fluff. Thanks for editing out the distracting announcements - a rough edit is a small price to pay.
Coltrane playing Bop lines. It has been said that Barry Harris gave Trane theory lessons in Detroit. Both would have been very young. But I definitely hear that possibility in Trane's first solo.
Pitch off by a 1/2 step. Or more. Sharp & too fast. Fixable, if someone has the skills. Horrible to hear at this speed & pitch, to me. Distorts the music.

f#*+ing amazing. Sounds like Trane even in 1951!!😮thank you for posting!! He was only 25 years old here. He passed away at only 40 years of age!🙏
Coltrane's solo on Night in Tunisia is very soulful - pointing to things to come.
My Hero John Coltrane was making his mark playing with Dizzy, who is/was a monster on trumpet!!!!!!!!
dizzy au sommet de la maitise de la trompette pas beaucoup de concurrent en plus de l improvisation!un maitre!
Coltrane is stone blues on this. Just after his R&B experience.
Wow Classic! baby Colltrane choo-choo trane! ;-)
Interesting, there's Trane with a King tenor. Trane was already doing "different" stuff than most saxmen of that day. Nice!
This represents the very best in musical archeology-discovering previously unheard(by most people)treasures. Thank you!
What a true gem thank you!
I knew that Coltrane played in Dizzy's big band, but i didn't now small combo too

Tx for this upload.
Bud? You mean Billy Taylor?
@@MarioMinaya The bullshyt people say!!!
Coltrane w Diz and Hodges live are some of may favourite recordings - he was already Trane.
sensational and of great historic interesr !! I love it, and finally Coltrane is already himself.
The best Dizzy Gillespie recording I have ever heard. So clear, clean and powerfull
So perhaps Trane's SOS has a bebop source namely Dizz. But his tone is there even without that incredible execution that changed my life.
Awesome. These are killer and your info and research is invaluably insightful
Fantastic... craziness... ❤
THANK YOU
music is forbiden by allah so get out muslim !
Even if it's off pitch or faster. This is GOLD, LOVE IT
Really good.
Fantastico!
YAZZ!!
It's just super hit!
Yeah
This is just awesome thanks!!!

Thank you! Amazing!
Dizzy's solo in I can't get started is epic - this is ballad playing that has never been surpassed - except maybe by Miles.
Wow. What a gem. As usual, Mr. Senator, very nice post.
Yeah man

Pretty much dead-on half a step too sharp.
Thanks!
