The legendary west coast jazz saxophonist and early recording professional describes his life and times in this series of videos, given about two years before his death. Shot at Stagg Street Studio by Gary Denton.
All of his solos on the 6 tunes on the album '2 Degree East, 3 Degree West' are PERFECT. Not one mistake. Sound like the notes were written out in advance by someone and he just had to read the music so perfect and logical and beautiful are his solos - his improvisations. (And all the other solos by Jim Hall & John Lewis also sound perfect.) Great great album.
