This man was in charge of one of the most difficult roles i Jazz History. several Tenormen tried to fill the gap when Jazz Giant Ben Webster left the Ellington Unit; only Paul Gonsalves fully succeeded after many years. Watch the video of Ben Webster playing his classic 1940 "All Too Soon" with the Ellington Band in the 70's, with a much more than happy Gonsalves in the banstand.
Tenor +Paul Gonçalves + billie Strayhorn + Sir Duke = Happy Reunion !!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Paul Gonsalvez played with such feeling and intensity... Translated into such unmatched sound.
such amazing players came in and out of the Duke Ellington band over the years.. and this man is at the top of the list
Paul Gonsalves was a true master and one of my favourite tenorplayers!
He was so funny too. I call him silk & satin.
Little did I know in 1973 that he’d be gone the following year. Such a lovable man.
Paul GONSALVES did beautiful sketches with pen on any piece of paper & just give them away. I got two.
Do you happen to have a picture of those sketches up anywhere? I would so love to see that.
