If I remember right, this was from an HBO Special called, "Sas and Brass," and I saw it when it aired in around '84 or '85. So glad to see this clip again. I'd forgotten that Dizzy was on here too. Thanks for posting!
omg....WHAT A WONDERFUL ENSEMBLE.,,,i met Chuck M....in person thru a mutual friend.,,,I love the pianist here, too..no idea who he is..he is excellent with his back up.
Nice to see a grouping of horns like that where for once it doesn't turn into a "who-can-play-the-highest" competition. There was some nice tasteful jazz here, whereas this sort of gig usually just ends up just being a mess of screaming. Perhaps they moderated the machismo out of respect for Sarah?
I’m biased but if I was anybody but Al Hirt I wouldn’t want to solo after him. Al had a level of talent that no one else up there had at that stage in their careers if ever.
Swinging solo from Maynard; Don Cherry avoids the outside shit and sounds good. Al Hirt is great behind Sarah; and of course Herbie’s comping is fantastic.
Look at all that talent! The likes of which we will never experience again.💔🙏
Thank you, what a treasure. All these different timbres, phrasing and attacks. A golden stage!
All of those legends on one stage. Amazing!
When giants walked the Earth.
Everyone did very well, but the All Hirt as always was fabulous.
Such a wild variety of trumpet players and styles. I love this. Also, Sarah Vaughn is the best!
What a joy to see these players all in one spot!
This is the brass players hall of fame
What a lineup.
Great 😊👌👌😊 horns.

Actually, I think it was Cinemax. I taped it on vhs and still have it stored somewhere

Dizzys 70 th bday.
OK, so we got Herbie Hancock on piano, the legendary Ron Carter on bass, who is that on the drumkit?
1986. weird edit at 2:00. did cherry flip out? they tried to paste maynard in at the appropriate part of the form, but...!?
WHAT EDIT? MAYNARD JUST PICKS IT UP ON THE BRIDGE!

I'm thinking it was around 1988...

Looks like Herbie Hancock.
