What I love about this video is to see how even the coolest guys of their trade get serious when them are surrounded by equals. It cooks and nothing less.
Lester Young was to play on Dickie's Dream but sadly it didn't happen,but we were blessed to get one of Lester greatest blues solos. Lester played on Billie's set.sololing on Billie's own tune" Fine and Mellow" a unbeliveable performance.
Attention voici un enregistrement HISTORIQUE! Que des "Géants", 6 minutes 40 secondes de bonheur absolu d'une intensité à la hauteur du talent des interprètes!
Amazing!!!
