I like Freddie...he had some of the best skills ever...Woody Shaw told me on a recording session NYC ..that he loved Freddie's gift... he could just pick his horn up.. and play..without a warm up..

Looks like Griff's regular piano player back then, Ronnie Matthews. Too bad he doesn't get to solo. Anyway this is just awesome: Billy Higgins shows why he was one of the Greatest drummers and Freddie is simply amazing. He really was a Giant back then, but unfortunately this is the kind of playing that eventually blew his lip out and ruined his long career. I could listen to this all day, so thank you so much for posting it.
Freddie kills on this solo...just kills!!!

I did think first of Clifford Brown in terms of sheer fluency. Booker Little was great also! I'm a guitar player!
