Thanks for the post, bebopcity. Two of these musicians lived to be elder statesmen (though Potter made it to 1988), Powell left early, bedeviled by various issues, and Fats, like his unofficial protege Clifford Brown, shuffled off this mortal coil at 26. What a powerful, lyrical, brilliant player, and what a loss to the music.
thank you for your time, and input. Around 2002 I saw Newk at BB Kings and there I was at the end of the show, thinking that I'd be able to speak with him personally. Then, there was a mass of fans, some with photograph's, and album covers in hand wanting his signature. And Stanley Crouch was the mediator to the madness. I didn't get anywhere near him. It was was very narrow minded of me to think that I'd be the only one who was touched by his work!
What a recording!
Bud was 26, Roy was 24, Fats was 26 (and would be gone 11 months later), Potter was the old man on the session at 31.

not to be a hater but i actually felt that powell's playing lacked some dissonance. for me there was always something missing. classic track though
