    Paul Gonsalves was a better guitarist than he was a tenor saxophonist.

    It’s “Concerto for Cootie,” not for “tutti,” as the announcer mistakenly said.

    This happens to be one of my favourite recordings of the post war era! I wish 10 albums were made by this band - Booty,Vic, Dicky, Rabbit and Paul Gonsalves is one of the best horn sections ever put in record! This is my favourite version of this song, I play it because of this amazing recording

    my question is was her song saying 'V, V for Victory' a reference to the NAACP Campaign of DoubleV: Victory at Home and over seas, end Fascism overseas and here at home? 1941 PH was hit and in 42 the campaign was initiated in philly.

    Cootie's speaking voice is very high in this video. Although his voice is deeper since his return to Ellington in his later years. He may be associated with the trumpet.

    He's sorta galloping along on his sax, having fun and makin' a bunch of people happy. I've always felt like Sonny Rollins plays just a hair behind his rhythm section..his own sound. Truly 'Colossal!'

    In 1975, Watermelon Man by Cannonball Adderley had been someone our high school band teacher listened then wrote the music for our high school jazz band while never forgetting the marching band playing Watermelon Man in the center of a county fairground horse show oval mixing jazz with unbridled spirited cavalry especially within the Commonwealth of #Kentucky Greenup County Greenup Tigers, music is best here! thank you kindly for sharing this amazing session. 🐬

    Usually, as a theatre audience leaves a performance they make at least some noise as they exit. When in the early 70's I left the Festival Hall London along with the rest of the audience there was no noise except the shuffling of feet. Why? Everyone was literally stunned into silence after the Tornado. Kirk wore an orange hat resembling a tea cozy, and a high viz orange one-piece suit. 😲

    My Lord.... he could only use one hand and therefore was very limited in what notes he could play. But as a saxophonist, I wouldn't have even thought about the missing notes if I didn't see that his right hand isn't moving. What an amazing, inspirational person. We all should continue to do what we love and what makes us happy regardless of obstacles. Many of us have no obstacles in our lives yet we fail to live up to our potential and pursue our passion. How fortunate those are who had the opportunity to make the most of their talents and time, regardless of obstacles.
