Count Basie Al Grey 'Don't Get Around Much Anymore'

Another clip from the 76 Tivoli concert. A great, great number from Al Grey. The sheer joy he spreads is similar to Maynard. I get a smile every time I view this.. enjoy.

Greatness is when a musician doesn't play cliches, but plays his own way. This does Al Grey!!

Al Grey. Again, lucky enough to see him and this version of the Basie Band. Big Bands in the '50s and '60s when I was growing up all had brass sections that used "plungers." I love it. Real blue collar jazz. Basie advised him once "don't play every note you know" and that velocity is not everything. Al became a star of that era's Basie Band. God Bless all of them.
