Fantastic cut!! Who takes the honors: Stitt, Gillespie, or Getz? I think Sonny Stitt is sensational on this: every note is perfectly hit, his technique is impeccable and I honestly believe he had a "perfect" alto sax sound. He makes all the treacherous runs sound like its a child's play. He really was underrated!! Stan Getz is probably my favorite tenor sax player. He doesn't disappoint here: this is vintage Getz!! Gillespie shows his patented licks and high notes. My choice: Stitt...
Stan Getz! What a sound! Technique and inspiration as well. Too bad Dizzy was cut. As a trumpet player, makes me sad but RUclips only lets you do so much. Thanks for posting this piece, it is a gem
Don't forget the excellent drumming by ex-boxer, Stan Levey on this. He and Ray Brown drive this along with great gusto. But it's Sonny Stitt that really excels.
@Nonettegetz Thanks for the info! I was misled by the articulation - Getz is usually much more mellow (and there were some mouthpiece/reed problems there too). I do like the first solo more; the second solo seems to be lacking in new ideas, sounds a bit repetitve. BTW, how do you know with such conviction who played which solo?
This is not the complete song- it cuts off after about 2/3 of the song has played. 2 bad bc this song, along with "Lover Come Back to Me" (with the same personnel) comprises one of the swingingest album sides of jazz recorded. The under appreciated Stitt is 2 much.

ONE OF THE BEST JAZZ RECORDINGS I HAVE EVER HEARD. GETZ IS AT HIS BEST. SO IS DIZZ AND SONNY.
With Sonny Stitt!!!

the best jazz interpretation of dark eyes ...
I would say that Cesária Evora has the best interpretation of this song.
Nice way you shift and feature the LP album art-work.
Oh, sweet! Thank you for uploading this. You beat me to it though! I'll try to beat you to some other jazz treats (uploads)!! ;)
RAY BROWN IS DOING IT BIG TIME.
Awesome.TY ddg for posting.
Ok, I've died and gone to heaven. No one will touch Django and his descendents on the guitar; but those horns!!!!!
Oh... Great!!!!
