[@dariadayle]

this song isnt the same without the lyrics. such a strong message

[@ustwoalberts]

kd* well, the lyrics were about an american politician maybe 50 years ago.
you really expect these terrific young Nipponese musicians to add them now ? Sing the duet between Mingus and Danny Richmond ? in english ?

[@Persillebalzm]

Seriously, what kind of teaching did they have?

[@hellownurse]

This is my favorite song from Matsuda Gumi! ;)

[@Musicallizard86]

nice but ive heard a 17 year old girl from jersey smoke a charlie parker solo on trumpet not thats trumpet playing

[@ustwoalberts]

It's called playing the notes that arise from the tune. Anyone just charging into a charlie Parker solo would have been ignoring the musical context.
