My favorite version of this Gillespie classic. These cats really have it together. Great bass lines from the legendary Brown and my favorite Lou Levy piano solo. A great but too short solo by a vastly underrated pianist showing his influence by Bud Powell.
Lou Levy lived with my grandmother during the last few years of his life... I was five when he died, so I don't really remember what he looked like when he played. Thank you for posting this!
Stan Getz is God! He had a sound like velvet, cognac and smoke blended together. One of my greatest regrets in life is that I never got to see him perform live. (sigh)
amazing performances by everybody. and getz...is at his fiery best! i've always enjoyed his "Award Winner" CD but nothing compares to this live performance!
Is there more from this concert?

So where is the bass sound ? One of the shortcomings of the Tube system.

man, every line is so perfectly swinging - you could write his solo out and arrange it for sax section and Basie could play this stuff. Immaculate.

Not a huge fan of the way he noodles around with the original melody. Othewise, classic.

so in your opinion he should just make a copy version?

No he should just make a good adaptation.

That was the best rendition of "Woody'n You" I've ever heard.
S. Rollins and Johnny Griffin were great on this one but Getz was just incredible. RIP Stan.
