    Ok well for one thing the bagpipe solo had my jaw on the floor. Plus everyone got a solo but the bass player 🤣😂🤣. Everyone played their ass off. Totally enjoyable and worth the wait to hear. Man.. if only they'd had a burlesque dancer because some of the breaks were Hot 🔥.

      I have to agree, Matsuo played a beautifully balanced solo full of bluesy groove and sax like short phrases and perfectly placed understated flourishes of virtuosity. Brilliant. This is one I may have to study in my own playing.

      Amazing bagpipes yes but it’s out of tune with the rest of the group, is either sharp or flat most of the time all over the place. I guess we can’t expect an entire band to tune their instruments to match the bagpipe. Doesn’t anyone else hear this?

    Quand j'étais étudiant, à Rennes, en France, il y a 30 ans, j'avais un camarade congolais, du Congo Brazzaville, prénommé Alphée. Je lui ai fait découvrir ce thème de Sonny Rollins. Il était ravi qu'un grand musicien noir américain ait créé un thème à son prénom et que ce soit aussi la musique d'un film américain.

    • @JazzVideoGuy
      @JazzVideoGuy  Рік тому +1

      When I was a student in Rennes, France, 30 years ago, I had a Congolese friend from Congo Brazzaville, named Alphée. I introduced him to this Sonny Rollins theme. He was delighted that a great black American musician had created a theme with his first name and that it was also the music for an American film.
