[Fruscianteistheman]

that line from 1:23->1:28 gives me goosebumps. that is how you swing.

Holy crap pianist! It's Joe Zawinal from Weather Report!

For those of you who might not have known...Nat spent his later years in Lakeland, Florida where he was a frequent visitor to the jazz ensemble rehearsals. When I was a student I had a chance to listen to him, learn from him, even visited his home. I had a chance to take a few lessons with his bass player at the time, Walter Booker. Amazing times...wish I had appreciated it more when it was going on. RIP Nat...

Which alto is he playing? I don't recognize the model/brand.

[sbdante]

@Thundermonkeyms It's a King Super 20.

[Armofury]

how does he do wut he's doing at 1:23

[1979Perry]

@Armofury He repeats the same note but with different fingerings. Google "alternate fingerings saxophone" for explanation.

[cajantube]

And Paul Simon.

[alexbarmann]

can't imagine any of today's alto-players not to have listened to Cannonball. He is definitely one of the very big ones.

@alexbarmann literally and figuratively. great player.
