Benny, I sincerely believe this tune is the one that the Almighty will request of you when you're seen strolling into that irresistible sound, when it hits at the Pearly Gates club! It was a gift I'll always treasure, to have known you and helped you in some small way. I hope that the Jazz Messemgers and all the other jazz giants you communed with and missed so much, are all in their places, impatiently waiting for you to count off the downbeat. It was an honor to have walked this earth at a time that you lived, so that all we humans had to do to be uplifted to your world, was to walk in, sit down, open our ears and hear what you had to say. Godspeed my dear friend. Sending blessings of comfort, peace and strength to your wife and family. And may that next box of reeds be of divine origin in heaven!
Chile, that's some good music ain't no doubt about it! They man in the back at 08:00 is REALLY feeling it too LOL! His facial expressions are priceless! Love it!
this is the last of our original music. For the music. Form our pase setters. They are the first and will not be the last to announce the goodness of the heavenly sounds of love. Let the music play until the birth of our souls continue to call for the continuing for peace on the earth. God bless the world. Ms Dorothy Triche
I just love this. I did an Acapella version with (melodyLaba app) of "Killer Joe" after watching this performance last Sunday (6-12-2016) This is real music!!
This is one of my favorite songs, and I thought this was a great performance. I really liked the soprano solo, and then how the trumpet picked it up. Really nice
All of the people complaining about the soprano sax solo need to show some respect. That man, Dr. Nathan Davis, created the ONLY Jazz Studies Ph.D program in the United States. Check behind me, and see for yourselves--all other programs go only to the Master's degree, and then make you earn the doctorate in some other music field. I heard the man in many other (live and recorded) contexts, in which his tone and intonation were much more in keeping with his great jazz resume. It seems to me that he simply sacrificed many thousands of hours of practice time, devoting them instead to creating that program for many thousands of scholars and musicians that would come after him. He deserves our gratitude--not our criticism.
It looked to me the poor chap was caught out. He was possibly told "You're up!" & it looked like he scrambled to get his soprano sax. Perhaps he missed a bar of the opening of his solo, but hey, that's jazz man!
The longer I play, the more I realize that I do not criticize but take in other player's interpretations. Also, the greats were great often by the notes they chose not to play just as much by the ones they chose to play. If you noticed, he picked up the soprano sax at the last moment. I believe he was going to play the tenor in his mind.
Killer Joe is omposed by Benny Golson in 1960. The original version is by Benny and Art Farmer 1960. There's a spoken intro about the pimp Killer Joe. Quincy Jones's version is 1969. In this Jazz Masters All Stars, I am disappointed with the soprano sax improvisation. But this is such a beautiful tune.

6 -years now and the song ever gets worthier in the cellars of time. Salutes.
Make that 10 years, just found this performance, it's awesome!

We be blessed to have Benny still alive among us. A gem of a gentleman for the ages.
Dr. Davis was a legendary educator. This is a gift. ✔︎☚

Really mellow stuff from someone great jazz personal what a treat for all to hear thanks for posting
This is more delightful than I anticipated. The quality of the recording matches the quality of the playing. DELIGHTFUL!
My favorite jazz track of all time; then, now and to come!
Thats it! One of the best "Killer Joe" interpretations...
Yep! I agree! Wow!
The Terminal bought me here !
One of the best jazz performances ever....Awesome man.
Just awesome ❤️😎
Killer Joe, one of the best - would have loved to been there and heard these absolute coolies do this one
I just love this. I did an Acapella version with (melodyLaba app) of "Killer Joe" after watching this performance last Sunday (6-12-2016) This is real music!!
1:51 the lick !
WOW what a sound, thank you Benny G
I LOVE this tune!
This is one of my favorite songs, and I thought this was a great performance. I really liked the soprano solo, and then how the trumpet picked it up. Really nice
Fabulous stuff. Those guys are the bomb!
I love the energy from the bass player!
That's right. I' m too!
Abe Laboriel. One of the very best bassist of our time. And his son is quite the drummer! (Not on this song).
When Benny looks at you like that, wow!!!!!!!

On first listen l didn't get it. Now it gets better everything I hear it.
Oohhh..Killer Joe at its best ever
Abraham Laboriel killin it

That's my nephew groovin' - Dennis Mackrel
I found it yessss
I learned how to play this song and every time a band teacher says we have free time, I play this on my saxophone
They both sound good
Ain't nothing like a muted trumpet!
damn love the piano solo
One of a rare kind. There is an unusual lowering of overall volume I think.
or mic everybody????
It sounds like the jazz music you hear from movie scenes
this is music
This is jazz xd
Fabulous.
Very understated but cookin
BENNY G! LEGEND
smooooooooth.....................!
Well done boys, you gotta come to my neighborhood; I'm sure that's Joe on the clarinet.

Music taste is subjective. What you may like others may not. good performance.
The greatest jazz album done by the Q.......walking in space and killer joe was on the album
Baaadd jazzcut 4 sure!
A Benny Golson composition

I agree. On stage and having to adjust is difficult. Like getting dress in the window. Nathan Davis payed his dues. Well respected artist.

A shout out to the marvellous George Cables who played with greats like Art Pepper and Dexter Gordon in his illustrious career.
2:04
Laboriel (bass) is always "on it"! Great song from Chet Baker (at least he did a version of it)!
the song's by Benny Golson bud
Benny G.original from the '50's. Bennies looking ' dapper, isn't he? Cool as can be.😎
Viktor Lavorski Was Here .-.
Great performance. But who's who? I only know some of these players.

First comment
Proof that Jon Faddis plays pretty boring solos when not in the upper register. Not bad, but felt pretty awkward on the bridge.
Soprano sound sucks 😱👎
Thanks for being such a kind human being sir
This soprano is terrible .
God true though.yuck yuck, and yuck
