Are you ready In this setting Illinois Jacquet, Dexter Gordon , Arnett Cobb , Buddy Tate and Budd Johnson . Hank Jones Piano Gene Ramey Bass Gus Johnson Drums Enjoy it .
Absoulutely fcking incredible!! Thanks a million for uploading it so we can enjoy the real thing in music. These guys were phenomenal. That's around 300 years of collective sax playing experience performing up there which is why it's so awesome. Then we have to put up with the so called music of infants like Justin Beaver dominating the media with their noise pollution.
The Great Bud Johnson on tenor, one of the first tenor men who adapted Lester's sound to BeBop.Trick question what do all these tenor sax players have in comon besides playing the same horn? Answer their own sound.Very Saxy.All the players pay homage too Illinois almost any arrangement of Flying Home has part of Illinois famous solo included it.
It IS the microphone setting, the tech ( ?) can't find the right channel to get Dexter up in the mix for half a minute and then still fails to do him right.
Probably due to the fact that his tone and sound is so big that it it fills the room acoustically ( even without the microphone,) but that doesn't translate well to the recording..
Great, and Pretty Saxy too! :-)
