[@dmccauley19]

Our 1st date lasted 3 days after hearing cedar Walton at the four queens 1985. Still together 2024!

[@jeremymaez5311]

Congratulations man that's awesome. Could you elaborate on how that date went and how it related to hearing Cedar Walton? That'd be a seriously cool story to hear about.

Smooth as 100 year-old cognac. Cedar Walton-I was lucky to see and hear him in La Jolla 1993 or so, what a pianist. And what an ensemble!

[@Rickriquinho]

Cedar was a giant of the piano.

[@tubular7752]

it just feels that good

[@colinlloyd8955]

What a solo from Cedar; and how many times have I watched and listened to this video. An absolutely amazing performance by all. Bravo!👏🏾👏🏾

[@BillyDScott-lp4sw]

I agree. One of the most lyrical piano solos I've ever heard!

[@NorikoYaegashi]

amazing!

[@djammerosl879]

What a combination,we are blessed with these general’s of jazz back then.🙏🏽

[@jemalramirez]

This is so swingin'! I love that Art is right there just tippin' and RW is so funky with those off beat rhythms all in the right places. And of course CW is so elegant and smooth but that sweet fire!

[@CKVideoGames]

such wonderful use of range in this cedar solo

[@tylerhenderson12]

I LOVE cedar!!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@bbailey17b]

What a lineup! Every recording by each of these instrumentalists--not just Walton--is worth chasing down.
All stars in their own right, and in '63 at the top of their game.
Art Blakey hasn't got the attention he deserves for running his post-bop/hard-bop academy for so so long. Thanks to him, more than most, to many of us it turned out to be The Golden Age of jazz.

[@nyjazzman]

Brilliant!

[@ATLS702]

The way Art sets up Cedar at 3:27 is just mastery, what an amazing band.

[@vincentherring414]

Cedar! My favorite Art Blakey band. Every note so beautiful...

[@roddogsmix]

Hey Vincent!

[@BillyDScott-lp4sw]

One of my favorite piano solos of all time (Cedar has bebop, the blues, and the art of sequence under his fingers). I saw you play, by the way, Vincent, several years ago in Mt. Pleasant, MI with Billy Hart on drums. You were fantastic.

[@aprilsigns4175]

❤❤❤

[@BillyDScott-lp4sw]

What I appreciate about Cedar Walton is that he is a master of bebop phrasing (0:56-1:00, for example), understands the art of sequence, and has a bluesy sound that informs his approach to bebop/bop and improvisational sequence.

reggie workman is in there!

[@JohnBaileyVIDS]

[@Ishibashi_0118]

Prefer this version of "That Old Feeling" to that in the "Three Blind Mice" album.
