This isnt from the Intimate Ellington- its from the live in Copenhagen 1967 DVD. You can get it on Amazon.

Paul Gonsalves was the greatest. I Love you Paul.

Is this available on DVD?

@meesterbenja The title is "The Intimate Duke Ellington"

@elchopperino The Intimate Ellington has the Copenhagen 1967 footage on it, but it's probably also available on other DVD collections.

The way they've written 'Paul Gonsalves' at the start of the vid looks like when it says "please write the words in the box" before you can post something.

Beautiful soft playing from Mr Gonsalves, full of soul.

@elchopperino

What concert is this from?

I'm on my fourth consecutive viewing of this. Utterly sublime!!

Absolutely superb. Gonsalves was such a soulful player, whether swinging like mad a la Newport, or with lovely, wistful melodies like this. I am now going to listen to it again!
