    See Gus & Dizzy smiling a each other round 50 seconds, & how they just beam? They say it all without a word. "We're HERE, Brother!" There's a level of something being reached here that never had been and may never be again. I'm glad I can see and hear it. They're gone but they achieved and created something timeless. It's amazing. They were giants, & I don't think that's hype. Thanks for your time..

      can never forget one of the few times I heard him live swinging the Texas tenors (Jacquet, Cobb & Tate, with Eddie Jones on bass and Ray Bryant on piano) at the Nice JVC Jazz festival, I believe it was in 1983. He was one of the greatest swing drummers ever , and did not get all the recogintion he deserved, despite his illustrious career.

    Sonny Stitt left a mark so high that nobody will probably ever come anywhere near that in terms of sheer swing and soul, not to mention a technique and facility on all of the saxophones that is magnificent. Sonny could WAIL on the blues in any key and in any tempo. Young players should really take note of this amazing master musician.

    Alto, tenor and baritone saxophone practitioner of "Gibraltaric" magnificience is Sonny Stitt - being his own man all the way.
    This identical tune, with a different title, was played by Clifford Brown and Lou Donaldson in 1954/56 at Bird Land in New York, New York, USA
    The album is titled Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers: "A Night At Bird Land featuring the new trumpet sensation Clifford Brown".
    Lou and Clifford tore the Club down musically. It was a musical inferno of which the arsonists also included Art Blakey - of course on "pyrotechnic" Drums

Eu estava no Ginasial, fazendo esforço, pois o ensino era rigoroso. Mas já gostava de ouvir alguns discos na casa de um colega, cujo pai era apaixonado, por Jazz. Mas, naquele tempo havia ora para tudo e muitas vezes não se ouvia quase nada, Hoje idoso, tenho oportunidade de ver o que ouvi nos velhos discos - o melhor do Jazz !!!!!

      Acabei de ouvir agora, no carro. No mesmo disco tem "É o Cid", "Na Onda do Berimbau", "O Ganso", "Pergunte ao João"...
      Gostaria de saber o quê pensaria o compositor de The Blues Walk ao saber que sua música, ainda hoje, é usada nas paradas para intervalo das orquestras dos bailes de carnaval de clubes.
      Só uma observação, acho que o baterista da gravação do Ed Lincoln não ajudou muito. Se fosse o Edison Machado, não teria pra ninguém, nem para o Gus Johnson.

    • @mauricisilva874
      @mauricisilva874 7 лет назад +1

      Ricardo,
      O fantástico Edson Machado nós vamos encontrar junto a outros fantásticos como: Luiz Carlos Vinhas (piano) e Sebastião Neto (baixo); no conjunto " Os Bossa Três", em 1963. Muito Bom! Ainda assim, não desprezo a versão do Ed. Lincoln, mesmo sem saber quem é o baterista.

    • @Ricardo-hu9is
      @Ricardo-hu9is 7 лет назад +1

      Maurici, um "Luiz" criou um blog, que já está parado desde 07/2012, para divulgar trabalhos do Edison Machado. Apesar do tempo de inatividade, muitos links ainda estão ativos.
      Consegui baixar muita coisa legal, pois o "Luiz" disponibiliza discos em que o Edison participou nas gravações, não necessariamente como integrante de um grupo próprio.
      Tem os do "Os Bossa Três" e o do "Quarteto Edison Machado", claro, mas também outros discos em que ele foi contratado apenas como baterista.
      Dê uma olhada lá: edisonmachado.blogspot.com.br/
      Quanto ao baterista da versão do Ed Lincoln, que eu também não sei quem é, parece que as baquetas dele pesam 20 kg cada, e esse é o tipo de música que todo baterista deveria adorar tocar, pois a virada é só dele.
      Quem deve saber o nome do baterista e da tia que servia café no estúdio são os japoneses. De música brasileira eles têm tudo e sabem tudo. Nós... bem, nós somos nós, os "espertos".
