ガレスピー、好き！

[@DOAer]

Yeah! :)
But I think the original tempo was a little faster.
If I showed my friends the slower tempo, they'd think, "We did better than that."
But if I show them this tempo.... But can we do better than this? No, we can't :P

[@Bob1Mack]

So, I was wondering who the sax player was, and then checked the description... OK. Sadao Watanabe. Never actually heard him before, but he sounds like everything I've heard ABOUT him. Great playing!

[@braintreecat]

I really think it's great that Japanese stars like Sadao Watanabe and the trumpet soloist (sorry ,don't know his name) play with the girls. It's great playing with such masters.

Wow. Not too shabby a band!! Too loud? Then turn your volume down. And holy s&@t...who's the dude on alto?
I'm always amazed at the number of great jazz musicians in Japan. Why don't they get more exposure here in North America?

[@BillBenzon]

wonderful work. loved the young woman's trumpet solo. she killed it. (of course the pros sitting in were wonderful too.)

[@DOAer]

2:56-3:10. AWESOME

[@DOAer]

You just have to love the licks played in a row. Or the same rhythm but different notes.

[@DOAer]

This brings back memories of 8th grade. That was a good year for music....
