Just some obscure Savoy side from the mid-50s. Just incredible.

Again, THANK you for posting this material.

I know it's a matter of taste but the 3 people who don't like what did they want to hear Kenny G.

THANKS for posting this!

Best version of this tune ever recorded.

This is the real thing, daddy - o . . . . . from an era when Jazz was King, and musicians cared about the MUSIC, not the $.

I don't think I can rate this highly enough.

Superb ~

Great Post. I started buying Jazz Records everyweek in downtown Chicago around '56 when I started taking weekly drum lessons & don't remember seeing this album in Rose Records ever - or I would have bought it for $3.99! So it's quite rare & historic. From left to right its Nat, Byrd, Chambers, Silver, Cannonball with KC in the middle. Whose the white guy? Did he set up Kenny's drums for him?

Thank you for the comment, adeduction-san!!

I think that the white guy is Oscar "Ozzie" Cadena which is a record producer of Savoy Records.

@60otaku3 The picture shows us how much more informal & down home jazz was back then in the '50s. And I believe this is reflected in the high quality of the music Mr Cadena 'produced' that day. He looks very happy. It's a great recording session (high quality from all performers) & thanks for sharing it with the rest of the world via Youtube!
