Count Basie Al Grey 'Don't Get Around Much Anymore'

[lolloPelz]

Greatness is when a musician doesn't play cliches, but plays his own way. This does Al Grey!!

Al Grey. Again, lucky enough to see him and this version of the Basie Band. Big Bands in the '50s and '60s when I was growing up all had brass sections that used "plungers." I love it. Real blue collar jazz. Basie advised him once "don't play every note you know" and that velocity is not everything. Al became a star of that era's Basie Band. God Bless all of them.

AL will Always be Mr. Plunger...I saw him live many times with Jimmy Forest(1977-79)Love his against the grain playing...His son Mike played t-bone 2..Well seasoned with a tremedous unique sound....He will be missed but listened to by many!!!

@Schilke1969 I just loved seeing Al grey blowing kisses to the crowd after playing a solo! An his later quintet with Jimmy Forrest, t.s. and Don Patterson on organ was a terrific group.
