Tremendous... Had he lived, Bird himself would’ve been only 51 in ‘73...

When I was at Queensborough College in Queens NY Jimmy Owens taught a jazz class for a year. It was alot of fun. Nice guy and an excellent teacher. I remember him tearing up a solo on a Blood Sweat & Tears song. He was awesome.

I've never seen him in a setting like this before, I only know him from his playing with Tony Williams, but I agree, it's some nice playing.

I had to take my blood pressure after listening to this. What a band and what a version!! I have featured all of them since starting my radio show in 1988. Ted Dunbar is the only on who I have heard of but never featured. Incredible solo from him!! 😀

Well, we can probably admit that the whole is far less than the sum of its parts, but with parts this great, it's still a gas to watch. Thanks for another great post.

Wow, Richard Davis...not a single note in tune. An accomplishment in itself.

This is jazz - spontaneous & surprising. The faults emphasize the humanity. When Haynes leaves the drum set, he hangs Davis out to dry - and then loses a solo opportunity because he doesn't return in time. Owens & Konitz trade 4s while Payne & McGhee trade 8s. By the time they decide to play the tune, the tempo has sped-up significantly. The result of all this is an exciting performance born on the intensity of spontaneity -

The "head" sounds frantic... seems like the tempo slows by the time it reaches the first solo. ...no?

Bebop demanded more skill than swing and other types of jazz. Not all musicians vere capable of handling this type of music and some went into retirement.

Charles Barry different skills, not more. Typically bop guys can't play a ballad like the swing cats.
