Thanks for putting this up! I've always dug Red since I first heard him on record playing with Bird and later with his own quintet. A fantastic underrated player who held his own with any of the boppers and who had some of the coolest and most innovative licks.

you are so like 100% right. Thanks for the visit to my channel.

That's Garry Dial on piano. Garry did several albums with Red and wrote many of the tunes he recorded with his different groups (e.g. with Ira Sullivan, Dick Oatts, etc.) in the '80s and early '90s.

He hardly never stops playing and yet it sounds so spaced and well phrased. amazing.

[DickWhittington1000]

One of the greatest beboppers of all time. Parker saw his potential, but drugs and the color of Red's skin held him back. CHUDNICK Lives!

[Arborwaychet]

Yeah he is all over the horn and fluent right through the range. he can reel off those II V I's endlessly ... and his licks are beautiful. Thanks for the post.

He came in the Village Jazz Lounge,Disneyworld , with Ira Sullivan. My husband,Bubba Kolb, was house pianist.. 2 weeks of bliss -

Thanks so much for posting your video...

Red Rodney is simply a treasure. Beautiful lyricism, lovely, well-rounded ideas. Everything was so swinging and tight. He, along with Tony Fruscella were simply never given their dues. Thank you so much for the posting. And, as an aside, that pianist is amazing. Great left hand base line!

Yeah he got some chops left. He died in 1994, so he's about 66 right here and still playing at such a high caliber. He's well preserved for someone who was once a junkie; doesn't even look that old..

[lloydchisholm]

I give it 100 stars..His chops sound great to me, we should all have that kind of fluidity, and Be=Bop logic. He was and is one of the greats and to my thinking highly underrated.

[JohnGreenmountain]

He could still play anything, trumpet, flugel, cornet, and at an extremely high level. He did get some dental implants which helped him a bit. JG

The great "Albino Red" lives on. Thanks for this video.
