That Baritone caught my attention from the very beginning.I knew that Gill was slowly about to build up the band.Great video.So glad I decided to see it.This is intense.Like watching a good thriller.Grabs you and won't let go...Enes

This piece ends with Monk's "Friday The Thirteenth" melody (and arrangement)

good call, I think it's incredible how Gil Evans didn't care to exclusively perform songs, but instead start teasing the piece he wants to play until the rest of the band follows along. That's one of the best traits a musician could have, it symbolizes their ability to see the relationship between difference composers/arrangements.

thats hip hop, yo. hah. ever been to a hip hop show? thats how they do it there too, not the whole song, just enough to keep em comin back. a little piece of advic e from monk. :)

[greyseal5]

That's gotta be a bass sax.

Howard Johnson on the bari. Mostly played tuba, but this performance is one of the most notable modern bari solos.
