I read a story a while back that they were lip-synching this recording. That's why Bird was cutting up and smirking at the beginning of the video. The video producers told him to knock it off.
Talk about call and response. These two masters truly seemed to get that this performance was a passing of the torch. Hawk knew he understood bebop but wasn't the best to convey it. Bird knew who he was borrowing from and you can hear him paying respect. I've not seen this one till now, and can definitely notice this mutual appreciation (even more than the Pops/ Dizzy video.) Can you?
Trane was the man! He got me really deep into jazz with a song called "Equinox ". Monk, I could never figure out. I just don't get the way he played. His solos just sound so disjointed. Monk made a album with Art Blakey which was all of Monk's compositions. I've tried many times to listen to that album, and I just can't do it...!!

Hawk is bugging big time listening to the greatest jazz sax player ever. And the beautiful thing is he knows it.
I find it hard to believe this was lip synced

all about the feel and the weed.. 😊..ah, freedom to explore...beautiful
amazing footage of legends, all four of them,
Different schools of thought here about just how you treat a note. How accessable that note is to the listener. Endearing or contrary ?
Hawkins got blown away big time by bird. Sorry that’s just my opinion.
I’m sure that those drum brushes come in handy when cleaning up loose cigarette ash.
Thank you God for the genius of Charlie Parker.
I love Charlie Parker's smile when Buddy is soloing!
Coleman Hawkins plays so emotionally, like the best balad player ever. I cry how good the are
From California great performance, excellent solos on both saxophones, the drummer had it going on BIG TIME.
I like the relaxed atmosphere and Charlie parker responses to his side men. Ella's appearance is the cherry on top. Great video thanks guys.
