[mpcguy]

[549heydrew]

Gerry looks like Daniel Craig at 0:54

[siberia1960]

no other like ben......

[TonyBurrell2]

Did this come from an old Dinah Shore telecast? I seem to remember this quintet playing on her show way back when. Dig Ben Webster's growling tone! WOW! Gerry Smokes as usual!

[saxamasta]

did mulligan just quote ellington??

[TonyBurrell2]

@saxamasta

Yep, he sure did. The quote is from Cottontail- which I believe that Webster soloed on on the Ellington recording as well?

[42percent]

No one has ever blown a bari like Gerry!

[mrzdford]

When Mulligan played... I came.

[crownpropeller]

Ben!

[kenrosenberg76]

I'm gonna shit myself... Mulligan's solo is the best I've ever heard in my life!!!!

[brinham6]

Mulligan will always be the man, as far as I'm concerned. Awesome.

[TheDocnshe]

Oh boy im in tears its so fricken good , Mulligan and Webster together , no Jazz will ever be this good ....pure Magic .

[123must]

Among the finest!

[Sonnyrollinsfan]

@craphead21297 Kenny G....

[Sprongles95]

Leroy Vinnegar on bass and Mel Lewis on drums = solid, pure GROOVE

[lomalindajazz]

Haha they told a musical joke together (the CottonTail Quote)! Ben asked and Gerry answered.

[masapell]

Love Mulligan's Cotton Tail quote at 2:42. The look on Ben's face!

[SuperSheffer]

Супер!!!Два великих музыканта!!!

[mpcguy]

this represents some of the best jazz playing on youtube. hotter than hades!!!

[sirjuandabicho]

Genial, muchas gracias.

[welwelwel2]

Gerry Mulligan is on fire, and he is always highly animated; Ben Webster is always smooth and cruising - less animated. They form an awesome duo.

[IndianaDylan]

haha, calm down mulligan jesus!

[DrEnterich]

[MrOoppoddoo]

Thank you.

[madtiger111]

[lorraineedmay]

Mulligan and Webster, so great!!!!

[fungito]

El Lensio me lo dejó en mi PC y me dió lástima tirarlo porque me hace bien. Como una aspirina. Posta.

[Bratschenator]

When it's natural, it's the highest level ! Look at Gerry's face when Ben blows that motherfucker (dig his solo's ending) !! And Mulligan's solo is Bird good !!! This is the best rhythm changes video EVER, it's ridiculous. Vinnegar, Lewis and Rowles are beyond description......

Fungito, sos lo más grande que nos ha dado La Civilización Argentina !!

[winesax]

WOW!!! ...made me smile...

[mendocinoplayboy]

That's LEROY vINEGAR ON BASS

[valvetrom]

the video is so good,just watch the G brothers might take it off .... royalty excuses.

They took Centerpiece by Sweet Harry Edison off(with Count Basie and Zoot Sims) !!!

[acfinney]

My two favorites on stage with good audio. Hot Damn.

[BuckshotLaFunke]

So much ease from one of the swingingest drummers.

[TallSomeone]

Young folks, THAT'S BEN WEBSTER THERE BOYS. This doesn't happen any more, so have a good long look!

[jskrydlak]

@TallSomeone Well said! Ben Webster is one of the all-time greats. It's truly a shame that he doesn't get more recognition. There has never been a better tenor saxophone player.

[seagullking]

wow! I really dug that. More than presumed. They wrapped that puppy around into a nice tight little funky bundle at the end too...

[GeorgeBurrito]

Great tune! Lewis is so unawed by Mulligan's playing since he gets it enough from the Knife in his own big band!

[bassoonsrock]

Dude, mulligan's on fire here!

[lepadekor]

From my "Top 10" saxophonists, great artists.

[really12345]

Mel Lewis is a perfect Mel Lewis

[waldo2384]

He's not a bad Henry Kissinger either.

[henrikrn]

My favourit comment - ever!

[usefulmusic]

waldo2384 for president (after Lester, of course!)

[koellikortelainen]

Ben Webster is still unsurpassed as a ballad player. Check out but be forewarned: grown men and women are known to have cried.

[julesmonendrumface]

mel lewis is a perfect bebop drummer !

[da19lila38]

Thank you!

[da19lila38]

Who's on drums?

[saxerjr]

Mel Lewis

[Tigranrocks]

that tenor right
