Yeah, and we still don't know, how could anyone dislike this! So it is kinda the question to solve ! To solve it let's ask youtube to make a complete (and mandatory) argumentation to accept one's dislike.
The #9 is also the good old third from minor pentatonic scale. It's where it came from... #9 sounds cooler (or "beboper") but it's just a matter of language
alec__a I just don't like the way he sounds though. Beautiful melodies and stuff coming out of his horn but his sound and articulation are too low-down-bluesy for my taste. Nevertheless, he's really killing it on this recording
H D Bennett I made this same comment at a jury at school in front of some of my instructors and almost got crucified for it 😂😂. I agree with you whole heartedly!
Well said. Jazz now lies in the shadows, virtually forgotten...but not by me. I have 900 jazz vinyl, carefully collected over 60 years, many jazz books, many CD's and loads of compact cassettes.I wouldn't part with any of them; they are my musical life....as you so rightly say....they're timeless.
Just came across this video and had to compare Stitt’s solo to the one he recorded on Sonny Side Up (Verve 1959) also featuring Sonny Rollins. Many elements are the same but he was able to make stuff up like that on the fly! Listen to Lover on his live at the hi hat which is beyond human in dexterity.
I love this song - the one played by Dizzy and his gang - since late 70s and have listening over and over again occasionally till today, for over 35 years !!! ,
One of the first songs that I truly enjoyed when starting my jazz journey. Still do. I'm very lucky to have it on vinyl. Imagine my joy when I played "After Hours" on the flip side. There will never be jazz like this again...
Sunny was known for being the cat that put the funk on the skunk----they say Bebop was his middle name, but I say, soulfully swinging was his game. He gave the Bird a run for his money.
@@melvynwade6951 he did in a different way. Bird was obviously a better player and is responsible for bebop but sunny was just as a sexy player as bird was fast.
Sonny Stitt is simply divine. Endless thanks, Sonny, for my great fortune in being able to work with you, So happy that you were born among us, Love and friendship, Rama Kumar
Grabbin' up ya' hats, coats, boots and everything. Leave your worries on the doorstep cause' we going bye and bye. Just direct your feet. You look neat! On the sunny SIDE of the street! Can't you hear the pitter and the patter, of the rain drops trickling down fire escape ladder! Life could be so fine... Fine as Manischewitz wine! I used to walk, walk in the shade. With my blues on parade... But!(BUT!!)I'm not afraid! It's over... Casanova! If I never had one cent. I'd be rich as Rockeyfeller. With goldust at my feet. On the sunny! On the shady! On the sunny! Side of the street!!
Stitt had an amazing ear as he ingeniously weaves melodic perfection through each choral sequence with extemporaneous ease! The love for his creative art made him the ultimate saxophone great of his and any other Era! This creative genius has inspired and touched every jazz saxophonist after his departure!
this song has put a smile on my face for forty years on and off now..."can't you hear the pitter and the patter of the raindrops dripping down the fire escape ladder...life could be so fine, as fine as mmm wine!"
You cats must listen to the studio recording (on the Sonny side up LP - I think) same arrangement with Rollins added. This studio recording has to be in my best 10 tracks of jazz ever. The quality of solos on that are absolutely staggering - you could not get any better.
This is melodic history folks. You will never hear another player like Dizzy or Sonny play those amazing bebop lines in a solo with the smoothness and purpose they played in their day. What it takes to play like that is only achieved by three or four people that I know. Dizzy, Charlie, and Sonny. Julius 'Cannonball' Adderley is so close it's scary.
ohhh yeahhhh !!!!!! incredible wonderfull paradise on earth !!!!!! with just a little standard but played with so much musicality and smile.....these guys are heroes but they dont know....
Stitt was a genius and he is sorely missed.Diz and Sonny made a great team and I recentlly bought Sonny Side Up which contains this tune and has some incredible solos from Diz,Sonny Stitt,and Sonny Rollins.
Man, I'm jealous, when they strated floating down the stream, I got lost in the woods. Great talent, I must say. I was still playing marbles when I first heard them during the late 50's. Then I never got the opp. to really learn music; play the guitar, but that's all.
So fucking fresh and enjoyable. Aaand I recently really discovered him and this beutiful music called Jazz. It gives me some sort of freedom and wellness, and that's all I've been lookin 4. Cheers from Argentina friends. Gladd I'm now on the sunny side of the street!
Hello, Argentina! Good jazz is good for the soul! And these guys are GOOD! I dated Sonny Stitt's wonderful daughter back in the 1980s a few years after he passed. Saw all his cool stuff around the house in Washington, DC. Peace!
I met Dizzy in 1980ish at Miller Auditorium , my last name is Gillespie and I am not the same nationally as him but after the concert I asked him if he remarried that day back in '60..We have the same last name and he (we) both laughed and he lordy no no no!😊😊
I always wondered what my Mimi would hum ... now I know! I love you Mimi and I hope you know I figured it out! I’ll see ya again and we will sing it together!!!!!
Grab your coat Grab your hat, baby Leave your worries on the doorstep Just direct your feet On the sunny side of the street Can't you hear a pitter-pat, babe?

You know you're on youtube when you see a few dislikes and then you see a comment or two saying "how could anyone dislike this".
Yeah, and we still don't know, how could anyone dislike this! So it is kinda the question to solve ! To solve it let's ask youtube to make a complete (and mandatory) argumentation to accept one's dislike.
They disliked because it was too short...
how bout the ol' "who's watching this in 2018"
You know you're on UA-cam when you look at the top of your screen and it says youtube
Freakin' cracks me up when Stitt plays the minor third on the last chord and how he moves his body towards the audience like, "Behold!"
Wait, I thought he play the #9 on the last chord...
@@gregorywilliams7151 I believe he played a flatted diminished fourth on the last chord
The #9 is also the good old third from minor pentatonic scale. It's where it came from... #9 sounds cooler (or "beboper") but it's just a matter of language
The 7#9 is a long-time jazz chord, until later Jimi Hendrix "invented it"
That was the sub dominant chromatic Lydian half-diminished flat 12th over a Phyrigian bowl of chili.
Stitt was one of the best at the bebop language, very underappreciated imo when compared to the other greats. One of my favorite saxophonists ever.
he was a refined charlie parker
He’s awesome
alec__a I just don't like the way he sounds though. Beautiful melodies and stuff coming out of his horn but his sound and articulation are too low-down-bluesy for my taste. Nevertheless, he's really killing it on this recording
H D Bennett I made this same comment at a jury at school in front of some of my instructors and almost got crucified for it 😂😂. I agree with you whole heartedly!
Paul Selig “low-down-bluesy?” That’s a new one. Can you explain? Haha
Stitt is just killing it here killer lines mixed with just pure swing- magical
I met Dizzy at the NYC brass conference. He was a great guy. Willing to spend all the time you wanted with you. A real gentleman.
its amazing how jazz at its higher levels has a timelessness to it, you cant really put a date or time period to it
Well said. Jazz now lies in the shadows, virtually forgotten...but not by me. I have 900 jazz vinyl, carefully collected over 60 years, many jazz books, many CD's and loads of compact cassettes.I wouldn't part with any of them; they are my musical life....as you so rightly say....they're timeless.
I felt that when I found out that this was so old
Stitt's solo is so well formed it actually sounds like an arrangement, I wonder how improv'd it actually is? Absolutely beautiful solo wow.
My favourite sax solo ever I think
Stitt is just ABSOLUTELY KILLING!
Just came across this video and had to compare Stitt’s solo to the one he recorded on Sonny Side Up (Verve 1959) also featuring Sonny Rollins. Many elements are the same but he was able to make stuff up like that on the fly! Listen to Lover on his live at the hi hat which is beyond human in dexterity.
bruh@@dlp2006
Stitt begins his solo fully-formed. Like he's on his second chorus already in mid-stream with ideas flowing.
This video is priceless.Dizzy Gillespie and Sonny Stitt live, doesn't get any better !!!!
I love this song - the one played by Dizzy and his gang - since late 70s and have listening over and over again occasionally till today, for over 35 years !!! ,
One of the first songs that I truly enjoyed when starting my jazz journey. Still do. I'm very lucky to have it on vinyl. Imagine my joy when I played "After Hours" on the flip side. There will never be jazz like this again...
What I really dig about this is the timing / phrasing
of the melody line. It puts a Dizzy spin on the tune.
Golden era wenn Jazz was a vibrant and evolving artform
Bélgica en 1958. Dizzy Gillespie en trompeta y voz; Sonny Sttit en saxo tenor; Lou Levy en piano; Ray Brown en contrabajo y Gus Johnson en batería.
GRACIAS!! :)
Thank you.
Muchísimas graciaas
Thank you!!
Ray Brown i knew.oscar peterson
Stitt , the most underrated of all saxophone players , i prefer him on tenor.
Sunny was known for being the cat that put the funk on the skunk----they say Bebop was his middle name, but I say, soulfully swinging was his game. He gave the Bird a run for his money.
@@toneyam3643 No one gave Bird a run for any money!
Warne Marsh, very underrated, too
Agreed, I think he was much more original on tenor and had a truly amazing sound, one of my favorite players
@@melvynwade6951 he did in a different way. Bird was obviously a better player and is responsible for bebop but sunny was just as a sexy player as bird was fast.
Heard this almost thirty years ago, on cassette. First time I've ever seen the film footage. Thanks for posting!
Sonny Stitt is simply divine.
Endless thanks, Sonny, for my great fortune in being able to work with you,
So happy that you were born among us,
Love and friendship, Rama Kumar
When did you work with Sonny and in what capacity? : )
Grabbin' up ya' hats, coats, boots and everything.
Leave your worries on the doorstep cause' we going bye and bye.
Just direct your feet.
You look neat!
On the sunny SIDE of the street!
Can't you hear the pitter and the patter,
of the rain drops trickling down fire escape ladder!
Life could be so fine...
Fine as Manischewitz wine!
I used to walk, walk in the shade.
With my blues on parade...
But!(BUT!!)I'm not afraid!
It's over... Casanova!
If I never had one cent.
I'd be rich as Rockeyfeller.
With goldust at my feet.
On the sunny!
On the shady!
On the sunny!

Thank you, saxdad59 for uploading. This amazing performance makes me so happy!

Damn this is some beautiful music. I don't know whats not to love.
This is THE most wonderful gorgeous thing on UA-cam. Charisma and talent pouring from Diz & Sonny with every phrase. Oh and WHAT a rhythm section.
You cats must listen to the studio recording (on the Sonny side up LP - I think) same arrangement with Rollins added. This studio recording has to be in my best 10 tracks of jazz ever. The quality of solos on that are absolutely staggering - you could not get any better.
On the Sonny and the Dizzy side of the street.
Great recording! :)
Wonderful concert, I can't recommend this DVD highly enough. It's rare treat to see Sonny Stitt in action and in such excellent company. Thanks,saxdad
Oh My! A dream band.... Stitt his time and ideas perfection
This is melodic history folks. You will never hear another player like Dizzy or Sonny play those amazing bebop lines in a solo with the smoothness and purpose they played in their day. What it takes to play like that is only achieved by three or four people that I know. Dizzy, Charlie, and Sonny. Julius 'Cannonball' Adderley is so close it's scary.
Try Oscar Peterson and Red Garland
I just want to be clear that I'm saying that those four weren't bad, but they weren't the only ones.
too me cannonball definitely got there, i personally like listening to cannonball over Bird.
Also Howard McGhee (in a different way)
And not even a word for Dizzy's "singer" "skills" ? :D
Art AND entertainment all in one, without compromising either. Aaaah, those were the days...
Wow!! Thank you for posting this! I have never seen this before after years of listening to Sonny Side Up. Wonderful!
Wonderful yesterdays ....Wonderful today and Wonderful the days after . This team was perfect ! THANKS
Thanks for posting! This is perfect. And my favorite intro ever for this song.
ohhh yeahhhh !!!!!! incredible wonderfull paradise on earth !!!!!! with just a little standard but played with so much musicality and smile.....these guys are heroes but they dont know....
You watch Gus Johnson, you know something special is going on--even if you aren't a drummer. You can almost see his time.
great humour great music great players what more folks? brilliant post thanks
Clássico do Jazz.... inconfundível!!!!! Amazing!!!
Check out the album 'Sonny Side Up'
I've been looking for this!!! Thank you so much!

Stitt was a genius and he is sorely missed.Diz and Sonny made a great team and I recentlly bought Sonny Side Up which contains this tune and has some incredible solos from Diz,Sonny Stitt,and Sonny Rollins.
Man that makes me smile. Dizzy was the best.
Wow Stitt laid it out beautiful and clean, damn....

Dos músicos impresionantes, magnífica interpretación

The great Sonny Stitt. I like him even more on alto.
This really special....all of it ❤
I love whistling to the melody 😊
That’s a “hip” BUT right there 6:32
I love to listen to them!!!!!
Man, I'm jealous, when they strated floating down the stream, I got lost in the woods. Great talent, I must say. I was still playing marbles when I first heard them during the late 50's. Then I never got the opp. to really learn music; play the guitar, but that's all.
briljant musicians, they never die

A mais bela versão desse clássico da música norte-americana.
Amazing....thank you!
Can anyone else close their eyes and picture walking through the commons in Boston, or Central Park in New York? Amazing.
was a amazing beat!
Guaranteed to put a smile on your old craggy face 😂😂😂🎺🎶🎺🎶🕺🕺🕺❤
that line Stitt plays around 6:25 it crazy
Impresionante swing ...YES,Federico Britos
Muchas gracias por compartirlo.
With only a little example we can know all the great things Dizzy's havr to share
It would've been my dream to see him perform in the 60s
Such happy changes.
Very interesting shaped trumpet!! I came from Japan.
Fine as manischewitz wine! I love this version!
Best song ever.
killer musicians! Even when Dizzy ejects that saliva from his horn
at 2:38 (and then gives it the old soft shoe! LOL
haha - too funny!! They're all so natural and unpretentious, huh? Just doing their thing - oh so brilliantly. It's a joy to watch artists like this.
It’s not saliva. Mostly water that condensed as the air passes through the horn..
Grab your coat
Grab your hat, baby
Leave your worries on the doorstep
Just direct your feet

Can't you hear a pitter-pat, babe?
And that happy tune is your step
Life can be so sweet

But I'm not afraid, baby
My Rover's crossed over, ay

Dedicato a chi, come me, è eternamente innamorato del jazz.
Mmmm those solos though
So lovely and cool.
OMG!!!! Such a Treasure..... thank you...
Du talent du talent du talent .......c'est trop bon 😍😍
The best version.
No electronics here folks. Just 5 guys who know their stuff.
I love the little Ornithology nod when Stitt starts his solo...
Bird lives

I love this video so much
