Smokin cigarettes, drinkin whisky, watching the people walking by, it's like being in a world with no time, always be in the same instant. Great song.
Cuando escucho cosas como éstas pienso que estoy perdiendo el tiempo haciendo tantas cosas sin sentido! Dios mí, qué música! Qué sensibilidad! Cuanto amor! Ojalá podamos sentir y vivir así!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As I got into this, I really began to like it. I shouldn't be surprised. I love Sonny Stitt. He was such a gentleman and genius. Once he played at a local club and I stepped in and asked for a request. It could have been for "Just Friends". He apologized and said it was poor showmanship to play what the musician before him had played before I came in. He bought me a drink instead, nodded his head and smiled. I felt honored.
Thanks for the analysis of Garland's technique and voicings. I love Red, but I'm not really a jazz musician so this helps me understand what he was doing.
It's so easy to get lost in this song. It's utter perfection.

From listening to Sonny I'm starting to agree that sonny was smoother than charlie.
even though he learned a lot of charlies licks. Music must progress

Sonny Stitt to me was the best. you can talk about Parker and Coltrane,who are ledgens in their own right. Sonny has a smoothness when he plays.
