Trumpeter John Donnell does a little Dizzy with the cheeks. Not as big as Dizzy's but getting there.

not the greatest stage presence, but its a hard song to play

@cardwell i was there too, simply amazing and a very humble man, just saw him again recently play at Dizzy and remembered me...a legend to say the least

Thanks for this! I saw Harold Jefta in Dizzy's club in Melbourne last week (guesting with Gil Askey) and he was great. I didn't know who he was until he was introduced afterwards but as soon as he started playing I thought to myself, "sounds like Charlie Parker".

Yeah, you're right. Tom's the bomb.

Went to college with him, and he was laying it down reall sweet even back then. Nice to hear him again after all these years.
