@nothingnate707 yeah well if u are a jazz listener or even amusic listener if u listen at all come back to this in a year from now and tell us who are jazz listeners what you think of the piano player we/ll be listening

@SoxFanWilly Ummm...it is called the Thad Jones Mel Lewis orchestra. Mel is the Jewish dude with the glasses playing the skins. Sure looks white to me. Not to mention the whole reed section wich is featured on this tune is white but I thought music doesn't see colors so why do you ask?

@nothingnate707 Why?? He is very good!
-
Those soli's are insane...
-
That, ladies and gentlemen, is one kick ass big band. If they grooved any more, they'd come out in China!
-
No white men here, or black men either, just blazing hot and outrageously talented craftsmen. I on the other hand am GREEN with envy that I could never in a thousand years play with these musicians.

i loved this reeds

I think the Bassist took a melody from John Cage's 4'33". Awesome piece though, I enjoyed playing it in Jazz Band.
sorry i got tired of the piano player
