Don't the bass player or pianist. The drummer was a friend of mine, Rudy Collins. Excellent drummer and an all around nice man. Formerly worked with Olatunji.
i know people are entitled to an opinion... but sometimes peoples opinions are in fact wrong. like the person who disliked this video. YOUR OPINION IS WRONG!!!
On flute: James Moody No one musician spent more time with Dizzy Gillespie than James Moody. He first appeared with Dizzy's big band in 1947 and continued to perform with him until 1992. Aside from being one of the premier saxophonists in jazz, his flute playing is legendary. He is world renowned for his masterpiece of jazz improvision "Moody's Mood for Love". Dizzy once said, "Playing with James Moody is like playing with a continuation of myself."
This song is on Dizzy's Jambo Caribe album, one of the first jazz records I ever bought ...all the songs are great, but this one was always my favorite... fabulous band.
I love jazz played on the flute, I think it's a shame that the majority of people who don't play the sax, trombone or trumpet think that they shouldn't play jazz
the band directors all come out of those programs and then go right into teaching the same crap and the situation perpetuates itself. i TOTALLY agree with you!
Had a drink with Dizzie at the Jazz Gallery in NYC in 1961 when I was 25 and he called me "a fine looking stallion". Now, I'm 72 but I'll never forget him. Exciting musician!
I had this on video! just brilliant! I forget, is the sax player James Moodey? I love how he plays the flute too. I remember the show, they were having a laugh between songs :) classical!
James Moody on sax and flute, Kenny Barron on piano, Chris White on bass, Rudy Collins on drums. November 30, 1965. BBC "Jazz 625" TV show introduced by Humphrey Lyttleton.
From 1:00 to 2:20 Best part of the song.

I love the humor in this song. How the sax interrupts and Dizzy kinda rolls his eyes.

@joecabsol Jambo Caribe is a phonomenal album. My favorite songs on it are Poor Joe, And then She Stopped and Don't Try to Keep Up With the Joneses.

mallets are pretty normal for jazz. Chico Hamilton made a career out of it.
You can't play Bemsha Swing without 'em.
