Billy Higgins one the best drummers ever!

Listen to how these GREAT cats can swing/dance and sing a song! Great version of Isn't She Lovely.Billy Higgins one of my all time favorite drummers.

Great track.

Super!!!

Special thanks to this amazing Octet, great performance 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Very nice. So sad to have lost this many great players.

Well, I've listened hard and that Flugal Horn is spot on.

clint passed june 7, 2000. I loved his bass play

I really love this sound,,and the gentle swing of th e band. awesome talent Nistico , Rivera Higgins, Coleman YESSS!!!

The violoncelloman is just so gifted, the saxomen too .. The whole band's amazing ! Wish I was born on the 80's seriously ..

knew George Coleman when i was a little girl.. great to see this :-) xx

Beautiful tune! I just wish Coleman had a solo on this one for real!! He would have killed it

A terrific band-thanks for a great upload.

Love these guys! George Coleman is truly one of the greatest and he's STILL at it! His new album is a good one, check it out.

This is some of the best stuff I've ever heard. Honestly, I love it.

How great is this? Truly great.

thanks for posting, this is really beautiful!!!

This shit really swings like mad, man......Great band, and always nice to hear the great Harold Mabern on piano.... Of course the original Stevie Wonder song was in 4-4 funk tempo and did not swing anything like this here. -- There is a great story about tenor player Sal (-vatore) Nistico, who was most associated with the Woody Herman band. The arranger Sammy Nestico (sic), who was doing scores for the Count Basie Band, noticed that Sal Nistico had a name similar to his and he did some research into his father and found out that his father's real name was in fact Nistico, but he had changed it to Nestico and that he and Salvatore were related and were cousins..... so he called him up to relate the good news.....

GREAT version of Steve Wonder's song " Isn't She Wonderful" by some GREAT Jazz Musicans! Stamp yr feet/dance and swing! DIG!!!

Yea it was. That thing he did in solo at around 5'55 that caused Billy Higgins to smile over at him in pleasure & joy - I've never heard any other base player play that 'thing' before & I've heard a quite a lot of base solos...

Beautiful !! ..

Harold mabern RIP

Gran version¡ Maestros..¡¡

Billy Higgins

Dam! This is so swinging and cool!

🏵️🍀💕☺️

RIP Harold Mabern!

crazy ass bass solo

Let's not forget Danny Moore on flugel horn and Mario Rivera on the hog. Not to mention the slammin arrangement of Stevies' tune. Nice video.

killer bass solo!! from Houston

Diggin' this.............

and Sal Nistico on tenor

Awesome ! Swings

This is MUSIC !! Wov

Crazy good

With Harold Mabern on keys!

No, Lee Morgan died in 1972, this song was written in 1976.

Yessssss!!!!!

best shuffle ever

@letsrunbike To relate to this great music you have to put everything aside and meditate on it. Jazz is music that hits the soul, nothing like it in the world. The more you listen, the more it penetrates the spirit. Go for Brother...

a rare look at clint houston what a bad cat.

2:31 Danny moore quotes lee morgans moanin solo

danny moore on flugelhorn, beautiful

Musicans! Now a days! Listen to These CATS and learn!!!

clint houston is so damn good it's hard to believe. why doesn't anyone ever talk about him?

Dance and stamp yr feet folks! Cool! And how it SWINGS!

Categoria de mestres......Very nice !!!!!!!!!

😆👍✨♥️🎵

yeah!!! thats it

🙄💙🌼🌱

super!

Read: Lovely!!!

@Jazzanswer I think I see what you mean... The A section sounds like a I VI II subV (IV with 9th in bass) to me which I would have thought was adequate for improvising over.... but then that's only my opinion. I just don't hear anyone 'trying' in the sense that they're having any problem with it ... But perhaps you don't mean that ... I find the shuffle works well for me - especially in hard-bop - I'm thinking here of much of Horace Silvers early material for Bluenote for example...

billy higgins solo at the end of part two!

5:10 bass, uau...

Band is hungover af..

@PurplePlayer99 my cousin Clint Houston (passed in 2000)

excuse me but who is the bass player?

Clint Houston was the bassman

WHO IS THE BASS PLAYER?????

Joe Farrell -Tenor sax Mario Rivera-Baritone sax No idea who the trumpeter is....

bass player?

line up, please??

@Vicfirth5bb Not me - i'm from the UK (Liverpool) but live in the States now ...but I do have an MA in music studies from Liverpool University. I replied to Jazzanswer because I don't hear what's going on here as just a 'shuffle' and I was interested - I would only use the term 'shuffle' for styles like the 'Chicago Blues and thus the playing of drummers like Freddy Below. 'Shuffle Beat' is a bit vague fof me here It's not a big deal for me - I was just curious. Vicfirth ... Cool name :-) Bob

@jwstyles007 thats because it's a flugelhorn...the bass solo is better anyway

no man... learn something of history please
