@emilianoturazzi It's much harder to make circular breathing sound smooth and "unnoticeable" when holding a single pitch, as opposed to during passagework.
I've seen another video of this where Duke puts his hands up atop the piano while Harry Carney draws that note a lo-o-ong time. Masterful. I also love Duke's playing the scales up and down in the intro. Really good stuff all around.
This is the “Sir Duke” about whom the great Stevie Wonder lauds. It’s when music was music, And musicians learned, practiced and perfected their craft. There was no AI; there were no studios with tracks to back up the artist .No synthesizers in sight…
Hamiett Blueitt said about Harry Carney “I never saw anybody else else stop time”
The saxophonist who together with Johnny Hodges was the sound of the Duke Ellington orchestra.
An amazing example of circular breathing.
And the man probably smoked 3 packs of Camels a day!
Amazing!😎

I really enjoy listening to Gerry Murrigan's performances, but Harry Corney beats him (baritone sax only).
