I believe its Bari sax not tenor sax for sahib shihab in the info

[zebopper]

Phil Woods - wow ! Dynamite!

[pvelectric]

I'm overjoyed to have found so many videos of the fifties-sixties jazz greats, with even a fine sound here at Youtube. the great prophets of jazz were way under-appreciated in the USA, so to earn livings many moved to or toured hugely in Europe, where what? They've more time or education there to appreciate somewhat complex music?

[GassyMaskz]

i don't like the alto interpertation of the melody.... anyone else.

[SuperYouGerT]

@GassyMaskz

I think he made it his own. its got an interesting tone. different from parker in a neat way.

[timreyes58]

Does anyone have anu info on the pianist? Shes killing!

[gnembhard]

@timreyes58 - Patti Brown recorded @ least one solo album after leaving Quincy Jones' band. She played with Oliver Nelson & Rashaan Roland Kirk, who also played w/Quincy. I kinda got the sense that record companies @ the time shyed away from black female musicians, since black female vocalists like Sarah, Ella, Dinah & Billie seemed to be the norm. Patti was actually one of TWO in Q's band; trombonist, Melba Liston was the other. I think she passed away recently, but I'm not sure.

[timreyes58]

@gnembhard thanks a million for the info. stuff like that fascinates me. she was absolutely killing!

Sahib Shihab

[trump34]

Wow! You think that piano player checked out Horace Silver?

[jballestrem]

i guess she checked out horace silver and also monk, listen to straight no chaser !

[InBy9OutBy5]

Yeah, that is a bari that Shihab is playing. But what surprises me is, it looks like a type that goes down to low 'A' . Didn't know those were made way back then. Wow. I am learning so much here on YouTube all the time.

[girlbaby206]

video's a little out of sync... still... great playing :) same with the trumpet

[jazzobassoon]

[mmmdavis]

[jazzobassoon]

Impossible...look the crook

[CommanderYoda]

Lol, that IS an SBA crook!!

[DaNo1Maestro]

WOW! Still sounds incredibly fresh after 50 years! But that "tenor" looks more like a bari to me!

[basaxel]

Nice! But Sahib Shihab actually plays the baritone sax.

[davidpolkmusic]
