That's one of the best sax solos I've heard
bird would've been proud
Sonny Stitt is unbelievable- one of the absolute greatest players to ever pick up a saxophone and awesome on alto, tenor and baritone equally!
Thumbs up for Sonny Stitt
Love Stitt but i gave thumbs down because IDGAF
For sure.....he is still underestimated in my opinion. He was so good folks take him for granted.
Thumbs up for all of em.
@@johnthijm5113 ; Right on man.
I don’t care who it is, it swings like a bastard.
This is back when people had real talent
See Gus & Dizzy smiling a each other round 50 seconds, & how they just beam? They say it all without a word. "We're HERE, Brother!" There's a level of something being reached here that never had been and may never be again. I'm glad I can see and hear it. They're gone but they achieved and created something timeless. It's amazing. They were giants, & I don't think that's hype. Thanks for your time..
sonny stitt on tenor is something else
Missing my Father...Gus Johnson II!
michelle Braxton ~
a great legacy you've inherited then ! p.s.He was also my favourite drum soloist
Michelle Braxton How sweet! Great playing with Gus powering the set. Cheers!
Blessings to you and your father - I'm a long-time drummer and only now learning about his contribution -- one of the greatest swingers, and always seemed just cool and relaxed.
a Great man and a great drummer .Love this vid so cool
can never forget one of the few times I heard him live swinging the Texas tenors (Jacquet, Cobb & Tate, with Eddie Jones on bass and Ray Bryant on piano) at the Nice JVC Jazz festival, I believe it was in 1983. He was one of the greatest swing drummers ever , and did not get all the recogintion he deserved, despite his illustrious career.
i've listened to this 20 times in a week and still get the chills
the greatest art form of the 20th century. and beyond .
Ray killing that bass.
God dam Stitt is absolute fire on this
Man, that drummer's great!!!
Gus Johnson; formerly with Count Basie.
4637311 2531815 WORD!!!!
Totally.
Pure pleasure to watch and listen.
He play with mulligan too,musicaly piano and sutil.
Yes, indeed he was amazing....The great Gus Johnson who played drums with the famous Jay McShann Orchestra with Charlie Parker in 1939-40 and then with Basie. I was lucky enough to hear him playing like crazy in the mid 1980s in Nice, France while on tour with Lionel Hampton.
This is the difference between blowing a lot of notes and actually having something to SAY. Technique, phrasing, ideas, sound, feel. Check the finger placement. Stitt has it all. An underacknowledged master.
Sonny Stitt left a mark so high that nobody will probably ever come anywhere near that in terms of sheer swing and soul, not to mention a technique and facility on all of the saxophones that is magnificent. Sonny could WAIL on the blues in any key and in any tempo. Young players should really take note of this amazing master musician.
madbebopper s. Wonderful. I hope your advice considered
Look, I play saxophone, and I think that solo is absolutely phenomenal. But I think everybody who watched this can appreciate the bassist. Wow!
Sonny-my favorite. Monster -his transcriptions are like the 'Bach" of Jazz. This is one of the best bands I've ever heard.
absolutely smoking' and swinging from here to Timbuktu and back again - everyone staying cool and calm but just killing' it. Very very few can play this way now, please -- let's keep this music alive forever.
Stitt was the shit!!
Bill Poskarbiewicz NO JOKE!!!
Gus Johnson is driving the snot out of those guys! Cool watching his left hand keep time.
Absolutely magnificent. It won't be any better! Thank you gentlemen. Wherever you are. I have been listening to jazz all my life. It really keeps me going.
Thomas Wallin Me too! It softens the bad days and highlights the good ones.
Just started and man I have been missing out !
This is true music for the soul !
Alto, tenor and baritone saxophone practitioner of "Gibraltaric" magnificience is Sonny Stitt - being his own man all the way.
This identical tune, with a different title, was played by Clifford Brown and Lou Donaldson in 1954/56 at Bird Land in New York, New York, USA
The album is titled Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers: "A Night At Bird Land featuring the new trumpet sensation Clifford Brown".
Lou and Clifford tore the Club down musically. It was a musical inferno of which the arsonists also included Art Blakey - of course on "pyrotechnic" Drums
How does Stitt do it... I'm in awe. Wish I could play like that one day.
Out of curiosity, since this was four years ago. Are you closer to being able to play like Sonny?
defnitlty not. Not to discredit the OP but alot of people underestimate the hours players like stitt etc put in everyday, along with being in a time where you could live see and breath jazz everywhere. id take a while to get to stitts level here @@Mr.DorianMoore
Stitt's solo.....my gosh, how abundant of swinging ideas one after another. I have heard Stitt countless times, but this solo is one of the most impressive.
Right, Jazz the great musical invention of 20th century. It will survive forever.
What a combo of giants. Lou Levy!
Rapaz, Sonny stitt botou pra bagaçar Kkkk que Swing absurdo
The Giants of Jazz.
The ending of this video broke my heart
I know!, not the first time either. Whoever posted "I'll Remember April" by Dinah Washington did the same thing.
Its called a replay button
mathew watters no the last note got cut off
This solo by Sonny Stitt is uh, awfully similar to his solo on blues up and down with gene ammons. Hell yeah!
Man1 I am blown away by Sonny's playing! TREMENDOUS collection of talent on that stage!
WOW!
Absolutely awesome!
This footage is dope ✌🏿🎼
musical genius at work
Love it!!!
Ahhh, this bass is brutal! This time and feeling was the best!
Stitt the fuckin master strait wreckin shit on this cut...prolly the best cat to make his own shit thru birds language over a blues

Man, what a huge beat they all have. Ray on bass, damn man. Stitsie killing it. My feet can't stop tapping!
Oh man what a sense of humor Sonny has! ('Course Diz too.)
These musicians are from another planet there aliens they're fantastic
(Dizzy's solo was sooooo great)
Overlooked because Stitt’s was even better.
Sonny Stitt is great on this video. 2:49 "In an english country garden" :^)
Good music brilliant trompet
Em 1958 era difícil adquirir um Disco de 78 rpm aqui no Rio de Janeiro, imagine em Niterói, uma cidade ao lado e que era Capital do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. Eu estava no Ginasial, fazendo esforço, pois o ensino era rigoroso. Mas já gostava de ouvir alguns discos na casa de um colega, cujo pai era apaixonado, por Jazz. Mas, naquele tempo havia ora para tudo e muitas vezes não se ouvia quase nada, Hoje idoso, tenho oportunidade de ver o que ouvi nos velhos discos - o melhor do Jazz !!!!!
Magnificamente interpretado.
Саксофон зто полет, фантастика, техника, легкость.Супер браво
WOW this is Magnificent check out the legendary Gus Johnson on Drums Smokin
masters
clean
A W E S O M E
ray sonny and diz. fuckin killer group.
wow
COMPARTIDO CON G+ !"!!!!
1:21 i was just waiting for that lol
I keep coming back to this, Sonny was unbelievable, and the way Dizzy crafted his solo in response to the fire Sonny set was genius as well
rebueno!
Oh oui ! ici les maîtres du Bebop.
I sure hope there was a fire engine and crew standing by - I don't know how the whole place didn't just go up!!!
Gus n dizzy talking shit in the back while Gus playing. Lollllll
Incontestável essa versão! Muito boa também a versão brasileira de Ed Lincoln.
Acabei de ouvir agora, no carro. No mesmo disco tem "É o Cid", "Na Onda do Berimbau", "O Ganso", "Pergunte ao João"...
Gostaria de saber o quê pensaria o compositor de The Blues Walk ao saber que sua música, ainda hoje, é usada nas paradas para intervalo das orquestras dos bailes de carnaval de clubes.
Só uma observação, acho que o baterista da gravação do Ed Lincoln não ajudou muito. Se fosse o Edison Machado, não teria pra ninguém, nem para o Gus Johnson.
Ricardo,
O fantástico Edson Machado nós vamos encontrar junto a outros fantásticos como: Luiz Carlos Vinhas (piano) e Sebastião Neto (baixo); no conjunto " Os Bossa Três", em 1963. Muito Bom! Ainda assim, não desprezo a versão do Ed. Lincoln, mesmo sem saber quem é o baterista.
Maurici, um "Luiz" criou um blog, que já está parado desde 07/2012, para divulgar trabalhos do Edison Machado. Apesar do tempo de inatividade, muitos links ainda estão ativos.
Consegui baixar muita coisa legal, pois o "Luiz" disponibiliza discos em que o Edison participou nas gravações, não necessariamente como integrante de um grupo próprio.
Tem os do "Os Bossa Três" e o do "Quarteto Edison Machado", claro, mas também outros discos em que ele foi contratado apenas como baterista.
Dê uma olhada lá: edisonmachado.blogspot.com.br/
Quanto ao baterista da versão do Ed Lincoln, que eu também não sei quem é, parece que as baquetas dele pesam 20 kg cada, e esse é o tipo de música que todo baterista deveria adorar tocar, pois a virada é só dele.
Quem deve saber o nome do baterista e da tia que servia café no estúdio são os japoneses. De música brasileira eles têm tudo e sabem tudo. Nós... bem, nós somos nós, os "espertos".
Abração
That drummer is having quite a bit of fun.
That stage is packed with talent, I love that Ludwig drum kit, No matter what style of music Ludwig Drums always put out the right sound when tuned properly. Dizzy was so young there I remember seeing him on Johnny Carson in the 70's, Like most great musician's his talent keep on growing.
4:10 ඞ
💙😃🌱🌼
I can play 5:03 - 5:10 like you wouldn't believe.
does Stitt hint at Pres there in the first couple of lines in his solo ?
What tenor player worth his salt hasn't been influenced by Pres'"
Seems his tone has definitely seen some influence from Pres as well
What's up with Dizzy yacking during Sonny's solo? Gus didn't miss a beat however. True professional he is. Sonny could steal a show. Might have worried Diz. Thanks
for these wonderful postings. Great stuff.
.
He was encouraging him! You hear him saying " go 'head go'head!
that's pretty common in jazz. Listen to any studio recording you can hear cats in the background jiving. Plus it's Dizzy Gillespie. I doubt he's worried of his thunder being stolen.
he wanted him to go around again
its like in church, at least in the black church, the congregation members urge the pastor on. they engage in call and response as well. these things are all connected and flow into jazz.
Dizzy Gillespie never did a thing for me, but Sonny Stitt is the real star of this performance.
dizzy getting his moneys worth out of sonny
.....and you know this!!!
Wow! Dizzy is only as great as his team: stitt brown johnson levy...are the realest.
Clifford Brown
SONNY AT 0:31 My LAWD!
Ray Brown, pulling a big sound out of that big gut-string bass...
Back when men were men, and shit was unamplified.
SONNY AT 1:07 GESS!
Dizzy came w/ the Quiet Heat 3:31
opus one quote there?
Ed, Edd & Edie
Probablement au cours d'un JATP de Norman Granz .
"... And the votes just come in from Luxembourg... ... ... 10 PTS to Blues Walk" (applause).
"Somurfs BELGIUM... ... ... 15 POINTS" (louder applause).

Aha ha ha good morning
I wonder who actually wrote this song. I am confused about the various reports we have on the internet.....:(
Toad cheek!!!
só eu de brasileiro?
3:33
Who wrote it?
Sonny Stitt? Lou Donaldson? Those are the two main suspects.
There's even an argument about the title - Is it "Blues Walk" or "Loose Walk"?
from what i've heard its actually supposed to be loose walk, theres a recording of Dexter where he says " a song written by Sonny Stitt named Loose walk or walk loosely" either way blues walk and loose walk are both killin tunes for sure
@@knicksguru yup! czcams.com/video/7Msqw94XfKk/video.html
I don t know jazz style very well. Is this “be bop”?
Yes
1:30
0:30
Sonny at 2:04, Ridiculous.
lou donaldson wrote another song with the same title.
+ken jacobs He had the Record title The Blues Walk I don't recall this song ever being recorded on it, still a cool record on Donaldson's behalf tho
Of all the great saxophone players in modern jazz i always thought Sonny Stitt was the most underated and not taken too seriously in his younger days because he copied Parker.
