Guess The Song - Flip Phillips Tenor Sax & A Host Of Top Musicians

[AgaPadar]

I hope to be able to hold a saxophone standing when I have my 80th birthday, not even dreaming to play one. Have seen Flip Phillips a few times in concert during the 80th and it always has been a pleasure. A great stage personality and even greater artist.

Just love Flip's relaxed sound, so lyrical and groovy. RIP Flip !

[Shrimpnricemitynice]

What a great line up. These guys really swing ! Love Flip Phillips relaxed style, such a shame he's no longer with us.

Many thanks for posting (any more Flip clips ? )

The tune is "Won't you come home, Bill Bailey". Session put on by Arbor Records.

Herb Ellis was still alive but fading fast.

Charles

Bill Bailey you bunch of DAs!!

@CrystalSkyWarrior Sorry, but It's "Spanish Eyes." Randy Sanke plays it at the end, and the pianist hints at it in the intro. Pretty much the same changes, though.

Best saxophonist who ever lived....too bad Flip is deceased.

When was this?

[BH21206]

Enjoyed it ! Just like in the days of the Jazz at the Philharmonic when it played here in Baltimore . Thanks !

Can you put "Sweet and Lovely" from the same date on here? that track contains some excellent Phil Woods and Bob Wilber.

[4205lr]

From March 1995 at Deerfield Beach Florida.

Not sure of the tune title, but who's on bass? Great playing...

[CCJazzmen2]
