Bro is cooking with this one

Meglio.

a fun version... i especially like Nathan's clarinet on this. i think my favorite rendition of this tune is the 1952 Ellington Uptown recording

Nice job, guys!!

Beautiful Clarinet vibrato!

Nice to see a band dressing up. Unusual nowadays! Nathan's first chorus is very like Benny Goodman's introductory chorus with Billie Holiday in 1935.

Sophia you are great!!!!!!!!!!

Great as always, and special kudos to Mr. Chen's fine piano. I'll search for more of his work.

Man Nathan's got himself a NICE band! Great playing from all involved!

I LOVE this one. Benny Goodman's 1953 (and maybe only existing) recording is by far my favorite version!

PIanist was COOKING on this one too!

Nathan does the most accurate transcriptions of Goodman's solos I swear! Perfect inflection, perfect tone, nobody does it with such quality! (not to mention the improvised solos are some of the best I've heard PERIOD and that is NOT an exaggeration I assure you)

Sounding great!!!

Nice transcription, if you have the written notes on note paper, I would be interested in getting a copy. Thanks

Que moça chata estragou a filmagem

Rob Thomas recorded a couple of the tunes from this set (you can see his mics in the frame by Adrian's tenor sax). I've watched the recordings of I Got Rhythm and You're Driving Me Crazy at least 50 times each at this point, they're just so damn good.

Coming from a classical background gives you so much improvisation patterns to work with that you wouldn't otherwise know if you were picking them up from jazz recordings only!

Roll 'em Nathan!

Very Nice!

Sounds awesome, sounds like Zoot Sims!

Very nice! 🌞 Thinking of the Swedish movie "Saxofonhallicken" ("The Saxophone Pimp"), which is about a woman who can only dance to this particular song.. (and the saxophone playing band member that helps her out).

nathan why are you on my feed

Such a great band! Lead man here is my favorite though xD

Fantastic! Very well done FF!!

This is just fantastic to see and hear! Well done everyone.

Cool stuff!

Always a pleasure to hear Duke’s music played well.

Thank you all for coming to Rinconada Library so faithfully the past couple of years. You've developed quite the following here in Palo Alto.

Sunny has the Dodd's thang a happenin???????

OH MY GOD, I'M HERE FOR THE CLARINET OBVIOUSLY BUT SOMEONE GET THAT GUITAR PLAYER A FKN (insert BIG MUSICAL AWARD here) BECAUSE HIS TONE IS INCREDIBLY AUTHENTIC. My goodness, where was this recorded? Because the quality is PHENOMENAL. I'm just dying of good audio quality syndrome right now xD

Clearly a source of greatly deserved pride for you (and for Nathan). His many TH-cam appearances have been a bright light, and he was mentioned in a recent New York City trad jazz Facebook group (forget exactly which one). As I may have mentioned previously, I used to work at the Palo Alto Main Library before it was renamed Rinconada, so it's a kick to see his performance there.

This is even better than I remember 😉

Go Nathan!

Swinging like Benny Goodman

Great!!

Damn impressive, considering they are masked! ✊

Man that's a good tune!

Fantastic!👏👏👏👍

Excellent!

What a wonderful venue! Jazz in its natural environment, as an inspiration for dancing. The band is really in the groove!

Clint always teaching.

Bring back that music!!

Hey man, sound is great! What sorpano mouthpiece are you playing on here?

Give me a bottle of Lone Star Beer! Fine solo by Nathan, not typical part of his repertoire.

Awesome, better than the solo I took on it by miles.

Loky me fr

Very pleasant.

The trombone and clarinet played so nicely with the acoustics in this hall!
