Shit, on Adderleys tune the brothers are killing it! Love Nat's first phrase.

@theinvisiblelight only one word - awesome

[queekers]

What an intelligent show - could you imagine MTV having a show like this?????

[videostan]

@zivley I know what you mean. Perhaps another way to put it, Parker was a wounded soul, Cannon was a joyful soul.

[theinvisiblelight]

@JazzVideoGuy I might say blistering :p

Cannonball's ballad playing is something else. His tone here sounds like a human voice.

[saxophobe]

I wish they would have shown his hands on the second chorus of Cannonball's solo, when he really steps on the gas!  8-)

Just love this, thanks for posting. Nat sounded great as well. Long live Cannonball

[TeXas10er]

WOW!!! It's all about 8:00mins Cannon's solo was ridiculous!!!

@BlueinGreen2 thats good rather than bad... cannonball is listening to what nat is playing... thats what you're supposed to do on the bandstand

[BlueinGreen2]

@gtr1359 Hahahaha I know! I was just making reference to the fact that Cannonball is an incredible player and (in my eyes) the perfectness of Nat's solo was ruined by Cannonball showing us how good his ears are.

@BlueinGreen2 its a common practise, and would have carried no malice. A player would offer the last phrase of his solo to the next guy, who would use it as a starting point for his solo.
