Finding these few videos of Jimmy and Arnett brought tears to my eyes. My Dad Ira Bertrand, aka Big Hearted Bert, and Jimmy were runnin' buddies for years in Houston, in fact he was my Godfather. I grew up with him around both at home and the many times we went to hear him blow, (could I tell you some stories). I have numerous pics of him in my office and will cherish these videos.
The alto player is Jimmy Ford. He played in Maynards early Birdland Dreamband. quite a player. Get the Ferguson album "Message from newport" and hear Jimmy play some outstanding solos, in particular, a track called "The Fugue"

Thanks so much for posting this video- I have been seaching for videos of Jimmy
Ford for sometime-I first saw Jimmy at a coffee house in Houston called "Pucho's
Purple Onion" in the late Fifty's or early Sixty's -my friends and i were doing Beat
Poetry to jazz - one of my fondest memories is Jimmy standing in the middle
of this coffe house on a Sat. night blowing "There Will Never Be Another You"

I last saw Arnett Cobb in the early 80's at the Keystone Korner. I still can't get it out of my head. One of the all time greats. Lou too!!

Did the first tenor sax solo open with a whole tone scale riff?
