JL Sargent Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 One of my favorite hobbies is finding cool Jazz videos on Youtube. Seems I always find myself listening/watching some great recording from the early sixties. Today I found this one again by Dexter Gordon. It's his performance of "What's New" on the sax that really gets to me. This guy is awesome in this video. And the intro is priceless. Anyway, you listen and see what you think about it. John Coltraine considered this guy as an influence on his music, go figure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I share your addiction to discovering jazz gems on YouTube. Thanks for sharing. In fact, I lost my YouTube virginity a few years ago watching a video of a deceased jazz master (I forget who it was). That night and several since have seen hours disappear while feeding the addiction. The link below will make it easier for others to enjoy your find. EDIT: I don't know why the grey background on the text, more important, I don't care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RT FAN Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Check out the great Zoot Sims on You Tube here in a trio setting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRKgK1NLRlA Also look for Live at San Remo, my all time favorite sax player, Zoot played with eveyone who mattered in jazz. Also check out the amazing Wes Montgomery videos here; Live in Europe recorded for tv, some fantastic stuff. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Matthews Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I always like faster jazz with more emphasis on percussion. Cuban jazz fits the bill. Check out. If you're only interested in a very good sax player, it's right after 4:00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Matthews Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 For piano, at 5:50 is really cool (I think). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
