Rare clip of Sal Nistico - one of most underrated tenor players really stretching out and playing his heart out. Thank you, Bob!
George Coleman, Sal Nistico- tenor sax; Danny Moore- flugelhorn; Harold Mabern-piano; Billy Higgins- drums. Clint Houston - bass.Looks like Frank Strozier- alto sax.
I loved this band and remember them very well. Especially to hear my soul brother Sal blowing out means a lot to me and my memory. Also Big George and Billy Higgins I was friends with.
Fantastic late 70’s wardrobe 🕺 Those were the days!
Long live Harold Mabern
I’ve been looking for years for this performance in its entirety, since seeing it on the BBC in about 1985 I think! Thank you so much for posting it. It is absolutely brilliant

Formidable, tout comme l'album "Big George" que l'octet a enregistré en 1977!
Frank Strozier on alto. Wonderful player.

Great Nistico who looks at the harmo structure, then plays by ear, like the jazz giants. Classical problem with Harold Maburn who hit the keyboard like a true beast, with a bass overmixed, the sound is awfull.

My experience of those who mix the sound at jazz festivals (and it's considerable) is that the overwhelming majority of them have absolutely no idea what they're doing... Regrettably we then have to try to deal with what we are given
