  • This is such a pretty tune Mal Waldron was a great writer.Yes Eric had some intonation problems on this tune.Bob Weinstock was notorious for not paying the artist studio time to rehearse.None the less I simply love the pure beauty in this tune. Quite a few bass players in the middle 50's thru the early 60's played cello on record Oscar Pettiford,Sam Jones,Doug Watkins and of course Ron Carter on this very moving tune.

  • @hremdldw Thank you for the info!:)

  • As others have said (or could, or should have said) this playing surpasses any talk of "intonation problems". Yourockets: if there is a better recording of this track please tell us, as this Bb clarinet piece is one of the most sublime (words cannot do it justice, as it is music) track in jazz history. There are far 'riskier' (worse) performances by Eric. Flammesombres has it, but not quite: that squeak half way through just adds to the humanity of Eric's playing - he went for it...

  • Guys, IMO opinion there are no mistakes or a rusty player when it comes to someone like Dolphy or Ayler.Archie Shep sounds sloppy at the times but I am positive that it's not from lack of practice.Listen to the song as a whole piece rather to try and pick out"mistakes" that players made...Enes

  • @xatzidakis maybe because it sounds beautiful. like moles on lips, knots in trees, bugs caught in amber... purity is boring, if not impossible. embrace it. Dolphy clearly did, which is what made him so brilliant.

  • most beautiful "intonation problems" I've ever heard.

  • Mal Waldron...Lady Day's favorite pianist* I didn't say it, she did !!!

  • @xatzidakis Bb clarinet is a lot different from Bass, the tongue placement also determines squeaks and what not, and chin placement.

  • He went for it. Absolutely right. Just love this performance.

  • from these comments there appears to be intonation problems, i can say that i enjoy this full song including those problems. i believe the sound of the intonation problem brings more sadness to the song , maybe an instrument crying in some sort of way is how i hear it
