I'd give this 10 stars if the last 10 seconds weren't cut off.

I really dont think that you should be worried by Paul's being underrated. Amongst musicians and coinesseurs he is in fact very highly regarded as one of the greatest personalities that came out of the Ellington herd. Anyone who really "feels" jazz can't but recognize his talent so not to worry ;-)

27 beautiful choruses of Paul Gonsalves.

Sam Woodyard is just pounding that groove in the back!

I used to love watching Gonsalves perform. He put as much emotion into his playing as any sax player I ever saw.

wow thats great sound by paul, even in present times that is rhythmically and melodically plush, to think this was done decades ago is just astounding ....if only life were constant melodies and harmonies,hehehe

These guys are just having fun. Just great.



In case I was unclear, all the fucking closeups are only of Paul's face. Completely inept cameraman didn't bother to pan down to the awesomeness going on at the finger level.

That's nearly always the way it goes... I like it best when they start filming the wrong guy!

@bobjazz11 No kidding! That's the silver lining: at least they were keeping the camera on the right soloist! :P

Right! ... I suppose we should be thankful the cameraman wasn't focussing on the shoes (why do they do that?)
