this was recorded very shortly after Johnny Hodges death, which may account for Bens tears. that said he was an emotional guy, in this age he'd problem have some acronym condition dreamed up by doctors to describe it.

when he wasnt getting drunk and starting fights in bars he was playing some of the most tender and soulfull music ever created. he had a lot of emotion in him and that came out in his playing.

RIP a true jazz legend and supreme master of soul.

Looks as if Ben's crying after Teddy's solo. Teddy Wilson - such a master of the ivories. Was he looking at special chord changes while soloing?

When I find an African implying substitutions over the bridge of Oleo, then I'll believe, and I'm a black man. This radical nationalistic notion is BS.

Jazz is America's creation. The melting pots music. Just about every color and creed placed their ingredients into this marvelous GUMBO called Jazz. Every part is indispensable for this great music. There is no separation. it's like saying Eggs are more important in a cake than Flour. All have their parts.
