These changes are very similar to "Out of Nowhere"

[60otaku3]

Yes, this tune is borrowing  chord progressions of a popular song "Out of Nowhere".

Nice cord substitution for Out Of Nowhere.Dizzy's the father of modern trumpet playing.Fat's took Dizzy pattern and went in a more lyrical path,spawning Clifford Brown who spawned Lee Morgan , Donald Byrd and Freddie Hubbard.Of course Miles went in a different road than Fat's Miles went for less notes longer tones loved ballads but could also cook.Each and every one of the trumpet players I spoke of owe a debt of gratitude to John Burks Gillespie.Otaku you know how I feel about your taste,great.

Dexter Gordon plays sax on this session

[60otaku3]

You're right, Dexter Gordon was participating to the other session on this album but a tenor saxophone player on this session was Charlie Rouse.

@hremdldw Not to be too picky, but this was a contrafact: same chords as Out of Nowhere, not a substitution - okay, there were some tritone substitutions - par for the course in bebop, but really, it was the same chords as Out of Nowhere. I have to sing Out of Nowhere for my vocal jazz class recital and I'm going to attempt to blow them away by scatting Nostalgia after I sing the lyrics (or at least that's my plan, if I can learn it). Yeah, you can hear where Clifford came from here.

Nice quote from Duke's 'Rockin' Rhythm in his last chorus. Also, he uses the Tadd Dameron "Lady Bird" changes on the turn around at the end of the choruses. I'm gonna have to transcribe this; One of his solos that's in my range, for once (LOL).

[apsomar]

Fats was the father of what people called Hard Bop, he was the link behind Dizzy and before Clifford Brown

[douglasgorney]

Brilliant control! What a jewel of a solo.

[MrDoctorRocker]

this song is so unbelievably peaceful....

[60otaku3]

crowley1878,

I think it does not have any problem.

By the way, because your comment had nothing to do with this song, I deleted it..

Please do not post such the comment here.

Has anyone heard at 0.41, Charlie Rouse fluffs a note and then Fats comes right back and "fluff's about a second later? Too much to be a coincidence.

[hremdldw]

Yes Fats and Dizzy are different sounding trumpet players,but their is a reason why Fats sounds like he does.It's the foundations Dizzy provided in cord progressions, voicing.True without Dizzy Fat's would have been a very lyrical trumpet player. More than likely in his short life span, I 'm not sure it would have been the same player.Not taking anything away from Fat's.Because of Fat's sound we were blessed with Clifford,Lee,Donald Byrd, Freddie just too name a few players who loved Fat's.

@hremdldw Fats n Dizzy were two different schools and around the same time though dont forget that... dizzy learned from fats as well
