My all time favourite saxophonist! His tone is so expressive, full and rich at the bottom of the register and at the top ( something not easy on alto sax!). Amazing sense of time, swing, phenomenal articulation, and an infinite musical box of original ideas. Long live Cannonball!!
I think this is an iconic jazz recording and I am fond of it. The way Cannonball expresses every line with all those colors, the articulation, the swing he gives it, here he is like a fish in the water, a bird in the sky. The joyfulness of him up high is perfectly combined with Sam Jones talking deep down on his double bass, also radiating a fine calmness. Thank you manhood, for bringing also good things to planet earth :)
