[snowdropdancer]

Wow, what a great classic video! Thank you..

[Reap3r07]

Why does everyone act like Sonny Rollins is the best sax player ever or something...stop drinking the kool aid

[klassiekerrally]

Saw them play both at the Heineken jazz festival 86 or 87 . . . amazing!

[willbilly2fistmcgee]

Wow!

[BrunoJazzmanLeicht]

Whereas I don't like such kind of bass-sound, do I love this rarest of all meetings: Dizzy & Sonny. Just great to see and hear them together. Thaks for posting this video. -- Okay, that's the way they recorded such groups in the 1980's. By the way: It's Rufus Reid, just for the record.

[bassmule]

Rufus Reid and Mickey Roker have played together on a whole lot of gigs, as is obvious here.

[bassmule]

Props for the rhythm section: Hank Jones, who along with Tommy Flanagan and Barry Harris kept bebop piano alive during the lean years; Rufus Reid, who really has played with everybody, and Mickey Roker, everybody's go-to drummer in Philadelphia. As may be obvious from this video, Reid and Roker did many, many gigs together.

I think this is called 'Weighland Hall' or something like that from the 'Eternal Triangle' session from 1957 also with Sonny Stitt. This CD is a must have!!!!

[huskerspew]

Diz is one of the all-time greats but I think Sonny did some of his best work with the late Clifford Brown.

[jazzuffe]

Very good by buckshot.. about Hank Jones, what a pianist!

[BuckshotLaFunke]

Double Wow! Sonny forces Dizzy to be less complacent than he - in all his greatness - usually is. And Hank Jones! IMO the most consistenly underrated pianist in modern jazz.

[aaronentresz]

Go Diz!

No, sorry.

[DLuebbert]

This tune is called "Wheatleigh Hall". Gillespie and Rollins first recorded this for an album called "Duets" recorded in the late 1950's.
