Why does no one seem to have video of the amazing "You Don't Know What Love Is" from this workshop?

[NYTNinAmerica]

Ernie Watts kinda looks like an asshole on stage.

His sax is as good as dead after that solo, though!

For a second I was like "Who's that other sax player?" and then I realized that there's a saxophonist named Bill Evans. Who woulda' thunk it.

[latebop]

This is gorgeous, especially Ernie Watts and the lamentably late Grolnick's writing and "conception."

[latebop]

Everyone here, of course. Loved hearing the real Mr. T hear, too, as well as the othergreat "Bill Evans."

[1worthin]

An amazing aggregation of extremely talented players. My thanks too.. Is this available via pre-internet media? DVD? This should and ought to go viral..........can someone make that happen?

[jmillh01]

Thanks for putting this video up. I first heard this when my sax lesson teacher let me borrow this CD in 1990. I've been looking for this recording ever since then!

[JazzFanMan19]

@jmillh01 What cd is this off of

[SpotOnMusic1]

@JazzFanMan19 - This particular concert apears on an album called 'Select Live Saxophone Workshop'. The original versions of Pools & The Four Sleepers come from an album by Don Grolnick called 'Hearts and Numbers' - Pools is also featured on the Album Steps Ahead from Steps Ahead

[pretorious700]

@JazzFanMan19 Don Grolnick's "Hearts and Numbers" has the original studio recordings

[jmillh01]

@JazzFanMan19 Sorry for the long delay. The recording was the Select Live Saxophone Workshop (Recorded in 1989 at Live Under the Sky in Japan). The CD is out of print, but you may be able to track it down somewhere.
