I’ve loved this song since the ‘60s and here I am digging it in May of 2024.

Thanks for posting. Really nice outdoor setting. Cannonball was arguably the greatest disciple of Charlie Parker. I forgot he also played soprano sax in later years like he did here.

I remember when I was a kid going to the movie theater and seen a Clint Eastwood movie called Play Misty for me and they had a scene in the movie to where they went out to a jazz fest and cannonball was there playing this tune . 😮
