2:20 to the end is just jaw-dropping. the solo to 'letters of marque' was always my favorite husband solo, this competes. a gem!

I was lucky enough to meet Syd Lawrence many times when he came to the Davenport Theatre in Stockport. He used to call into our school and we played may times for Syd. A great guy leading a great band.

Thanks for posting this brilliant video.

I went to see Gary play with Allan Holdsworth in Milwaukee many years ago. I got to talk to Gary before the show and I had my black Buddy Rich shirt on (with the BR logo on it). Gary said "I like your shirt". I had no idea what was all behind that statement. And that's all he said. After seeing this video I know what he meant. The dude was a big band drummer at 16....he never mentioned that! He's a humble guy. Very likeable.

I think a lot of those players have passed on now (R.I.P.) My dad Norman Brown is still going strong tho :-) Second sax player from the right.

[gmdinformation]

For a brief few seconds between 3:00 and 3:10 or thereabouts, he almost sounds like he did years later with Holdsworth.

[basherdrummer]

Sheer brilliance - and playing matched grip too?!

An added bonus is snooker player Cliff Thorburn on trumpet???!!! :-)

[TheAllemar]

I reckon one of the best all round musicians the UK has produced ..

R.I.P Andy Smith (Trombone)

[joemusicman64]

Holy crap. Gary was playing big band like a pro at 16. I'm gonna go faint now.....thump...

[Volentry]

[sillyilly]

[beckenbauers]

Gary did not change much over the years

[locobeis]

@beckenbauers with experience one goes to discover the value of spaces and silence in the music, I think he has been showing this in all his career.

i know, my english smells like south american.
