about the song which is believed to be a russian gypsy tune:
Dark Eyes (Russian: Очи чёрные, Ochi chyornye;The lyrics of the song were written by a Ukrainian poet and writer Yevhen Hrebinka. The first publication of the poem was in Literaturnaya gazeta on 17 January 1843.
The words were subsequently set to Florian Hermann's Valse Hommage (in an arrangement by S. Gerdel') and published as a romance on 7 March 1884.
Although often characterised as a Russian gypsy song, the words and music were written respectively by a Ukrainian poet and a German composer: Florian Hermann. Feodor Chaliapin popularised the song abroad in a version amended by himself....from wikipedia

  • ONE OF THE BEST JAZZ RECORDINGS I HAVE EVER HEARD. GETZ IS AT HIS BEST. SO IS DIZZ AND SONNY.

  • Fantastic cut!! Who takes the honors: Stitt, Gillespie, or Getz? I think Sonny Stitt is sensational on this: every note is perfectly hit, his technique is impeccable and I honestly believe he had a "perfect" alto sax sound. He makes all the treacherous runs sound like its a child's play. He really was underrated!! Stan Getz is probably my favorite tenor sax player. He doesn't disappoint here: this is vintage Getz!! Gillespie shows his patented licks and high notes. My choice: Stitt...

  • where is the rest of this?

  • WHERE IS PART 2???!!!

  • Stan Getz! What a sound! Technique and inspiration as well. Too bad Dizzy was cut. As a trumpet player, makes me sad but YouTube only lets you do so much. Thanks for posting this piece, it is a gem
