  • The way Arturo reacted was showing his regard for Doc, his enjoyment of collaboration and his sheer joy at performing music. Rafael was not miffed - look at how he reacted at 4:08. You are looking at giants. Arturo, who played with Dizzy and Doc, who has played with everyone, since the 40's both understand the value of collaboration at the highest levels. Don't mistake their reactions as other than two entertainers having a ball. They weren't competing - not at that level!

  • More than anything this collaboration reminds me of Doc and Maynard playing together. Not everyone realizes that when they were both still teenagers, and in their early twenties, Doc and Maynard both played in the Charlie Barnett Orchestra . . .at the same time. Doc took lead and Maynard screamed. Can you imagine going to a concert where Doc and Maynard are in the same band, in their prime? Truly awesome! They were friends for life and Doc was so saddened when Maynard died. Long live Doc!

  • Fun Fact the guy playing guitar is actually Doc's brother. Same mom different dad

  • Doc does all this with a mustache. That has to make it even more difficult to do what he does. It's all in the lips.

  • @WoodenBadger77 I have found that artists appreciate one another, even those who generally perform in different genres. I have thoroughly enjoyed all of Tony Bennett's collaborations, as he spreads the Gospel of the American Songbook to new generations. More importantly, he has opened up the stylistic universe to performers (and their fans!) as diverse as K.D. Lang, Aretha Franklin and Lady Gaga. I agree that wonderful musical collaborations borne of mutual respect are worthy of a tear or two.

  • @mhstpt great comment! I can't stand reading comments of people who don't GET what you're talking about. The same thing is there in Stevie Wonder's duet with Tony Bennett (For Once in My Life) their mutual respect elevates each other to one of the best musical moments I've EVER seen, it's so beautiful makes me want to cry!

  • @PhilGorman1957 thanks for sharing that. I've been a big fan of Maynard, Doc & Arturo since I was a teen. I can only DREAM of seeing what you described. I'm so lucky to have seen Doc! Seen Arturo several times (it just doesn't get any better!) But only saw Maynard when he was already quite old. Also, unbelievable to imagine young Bill Chase on Maynard's bandstand! Thankfully there are recordings of that :) My ultimate dream though, would be to see Arturo, Paquito & Chucho play together again.

  • 2:53 HOLY!!!

    

  • @mitchlovesmusic

    That 3:05 lick sounds like a Diz original.
