Itchy Fingers play "The Headmaster's Daughter"

[jamesalexander0093]

Thts awesome man, Nigel made me a cup of tea once :D

[mickysax1]

Hitch is like a human metronome. His timing is impeccable when playing at Mach 3. How come he hasn't made it big in the States, he's good enough!

[gwalkron]

Nigel Hitchcock - "the fat one" as you so charmingly describe him, was born in 1971. There are those who say he is the reincarnation of Charlie Parker. He's around 16 /17 in this clip....!

[mickysax1]

@gwalkron many say he's Tubby Hayes reincarnated. Rumour has it that Hitch could down a bottle of brandy and still play the ass off most cats in London

[DomPusey]

Nigel Hitchcock is ridiculous. Getting that good with no practice whatsoever..

I'm astonished at his genuine talent and understanding of chords.

[CommanderYoda]

bari has a FAT tone, alto has very thin tone though has some serious fast notes goin on woow.

[fezboy22]

I'm a trombonist, but my god can't nigel play!

[elimenohpee182]

oh. my. GOD. HE IS SICK

[FeedMyButt]

are there videos of the whole performance or at least the whole song?

[MoodieMask]

the fat one? He cant be 17, rofl?

[WheresEeeToThen]

Not now, he was then...

[MoodieMask]

Who of these guys are Nigel Hitchcock?

I cant imagine a 17 year old , but who is he ?

[jewcurls521]

alto player, soloist.

[aidsonapole93]

the guy on the bass sax dresses really badly

BUT

they are amamamamamamamamazing!!!!!!!!

so no-one cares about how they dress:P

[rltolbert]

Baritone, not Bass.

[VoteForMiles89]

Wish i could play like at at 17. Damn.

[Dougles15]

this guy NEVER is 17 years old. may be 15 years earlier than this recording..

[WheresEeeToThen]

OK, you know best!

[shirlandki]

he was 17-met him when 13 he was brilliant then-as was his brother clive -they both played for nyjo

[chrisbeaudette]

was nigel hitchcock really 17?

[WheresEeeToThen]

Only just. He joined as a replacement at 16 and memorised the band's whole repertoire in a week (I think the photographic memory helped though)

[kart600]

wow, youtube changed my live.

thank you so much for posting, this is beautiful

[Medusum]

Thanks so much for this video material of the great Itchy Fingers. This is mind blowing. Unbelievable!!!!!

[dejazzmon]

Please please please put more of this up, if you have any more videos of it please put them up, especially if there is John Graham on it. I beg you!

[WheresEeeToThen]

Thanks for the enthusiasm! We're in the process of uploading loads of Itchy Fingers footage as we speak...

[shirlandki]

shirley

[netshaman]

Great performances, but the video has a glaze gloss look over it.

[WheresEeeToThen]

Had to turn up the brightness as it was a dark original video.
