Grabbin' up ya' hats, coats, boots and everything. Leave your worries on the doorstep cause' we going bye and bye. Just direct your feet. You look neat! On the sunny SIDE of the street! Can't you hear the pitter and the patter, of the rain drops trickling down fire escape ladder! Life could be so fine... Fine as Manischewitz wine! I used to walk, walk in the shade. With my blues on parade... But!(BUT!!)I'm not afraid! It's over... Casanova! If I never had one cent. I'd be rich as Rockeyfeller. With goldust at my feet. On the sunny! On the shady! On the sunny! Side of the street!!

Stitt is just killing it here killer lines mixed with just pure swing- magical

Stitt was one of the best at the bebop language, very underappreciated imo when compared to the other greats. One of my favorite saxophonists ever.

Freakin' cracks me up when Stitt plays the minor third on the last chord and how he moves his body towards the audience like, "Behold!"

This video is priceless.Dizzy Gillespie and Sonny Stitt live, doesn't get any better !!!!

You know you're on youtube when you see a few dislikes and then you see a comment or two saying "how could anyone dislike this".

Stitt , the most underrated of all saxophone players , i prefer him on tenor.

its amazing how jazz at its higher levels has a timelessness to it, you cant really put a date or time period to it

Golden era wenn Jazz was a vibrant and evolving artform

Bélgica en 1958. Dizzy Gillespie en trompeta y voz; Sonny Sttit en saxo tenor; Lou Levy en piano; Ray Brown en contrabajo y Gus Johnson en batería.

Stitt's solo is so well formed it actually sounds like an arrangement, I wonder how improv'd it actually is? Absolutely beautiful solo wow.

Damn this is some beautiful music. I don't know whats not to love.

Stitt begins his solo fully-formed. Like he's on his second chorus already in mid-stream with ideas flowing.

One of the first songs that I truly enjoyed when starting my jazz journey. Still do. I'm very lucky to have it on vinyl. Imagine my joy when I played "After Hours" on the flip side. There will never be jazz like this again...

I love this song - the one played by Dizzy and his gang - since late 70s and have listening over and over again occasionally till today, for over 35 years !!! ,

What I really dig about this is the timing / phrasing of the melody line. It puts a Dizzy spin on the tune.

dizzy gillespie T Sonny Sttit ts Lou Levy piano Ray Brown b Gus Johnson d 1958

You cats must listen to the studio recording (on the Sonny side up LP - I think) same arrangement with Rollins added. This studio recording has to be in my best 10 tracks of jazz ever. The quality of solos on that are absolutely staggering - you could not get any better.

Heard this almost thirty years ago, on cassette. First time I've ever seen the film footage. Thanks for posting!

On the Sonny and the Dizzy side of the street. Great recording! :)

Sonny Stitt is simply divine. Endless thanks, Sonny, for my great fortune in being able to work with you, So happy that you were born among us, Love and friendship, Rama Kumar

Thank you, saxdad59 for uploading. This amazing performance makes me so happy! I especially love how Sonny helps Dizzy @ 5:09. :) :)

Sonny is PERFECT!!

This is THE most wonderful gorgeous thing on KZfaq. Charisma and talent pouring from Diz & Sonny with every phrase. Oh and WHAT a rhythm section.

this song has put a smile on my face for forty years on and off now..."can't you hear the pitter and the patter of the raindrops dripping down the fire escape ladder...life could be so fine, as fine as mmm wine!"

Wonderful concert, I can't recommend this DVD highly enough. It's rare treat to see Sonny Stitt in action and in such excellent company. Thanks,saxdad

Art AND entertainment all in one, without compromising either. Aaaah, those were the days...

Oh My! A dream band.... Stitt his time and ideas perfection

Very interesting shaped trumpet!! I came from Japan.

Wow!! Thank you for posting this! I have never seen this before after years of listening to Sonny Side Up. Wonderful!

This is melodic history folks. You will never hear another player like Dizzy or Sonny play those amazing bebop lines in a solo with the smoothness and purpose they played in their day. What it takes to play like that is only achieved by three or four people that I know. Dizzy, Charlie, and Sonny. Julius 'Cannonball' Adderley is so close it's scary.

I must be nice to be the undisputed best. Poetry, magic. Great line up.

Thanks for posting! This is perfect. And my favorite intro ever for this song.

Man that makes me smile. Dizzy was the best.

Stitt was a genius and he is sorely missed.Diz and Sonny made a great team and I recentlly bought Sonny Side Up which contains this tune and has some incredible solos from Diz,Sonny Stitt,and Sonny Rollins.

Wow Stitt laid it out beautiful and clean, damn....

It's always so joyful to watch this video!!!

I've been looking for this!!! Thank you so much!

I love the singing - fantastic :)

That’s a “hip” BUT right there 6:32

Great song! Love the lyrics at the end

I met Dizzy at the NYC brass conference. He was a great guy. Willing to spend all the time you wanted with you. A real gentleman.

Clássico do Jazz.... inconfundível!!!!! Amazing!!!

wOw!!!!!!!! This just put a great big smile on my face!!!!!! thankyou

I love whistling to the melody 😊

ohhh yeahhhh !!!!!! incredible wonderfull paradise on earth !!!!!! with just a little standard but played with so much musicality and smile.....these guys are heroes but they dont know....

Fantastic Dizzyyyyyyyyyyyy magic touch ... ...

You watch Gus Johnson, you know something special is going on--even if you aren't a drummer. You can almost see his time.

briljant musicians, they never die

The great Sonny Stitt. I like him even more on alto.

I Love this Sunny Side Of The Street" Great Musicians.♫♪♫♫ They are All Fabulous . Thanks / Gracias.

Thoroughly agree.....love his alto playing also

iconic solo by master Stitt

i'm smiling when I see faces of those chaps singing...

..and all that jazz! Thanx for this Greetings from Greece

Man, I'm jealous, when they strated floating down the stream, I got lost in the woods. Great talent, I must say. I was still playing marbles when I first heard them during the late 50's. Then I never got the opp. to really learn music; play the guitar, but that's all.

This is Jazz Gold!

I met Dizzy in 1980ish at Miller Auditorium , my last name is Gillespie and I am not the same nationally as him but after the concert I asked him if he remarried that day back in '60..We have the same last name and he (we) both laughed and he lordy no no no!😊😊

Fantastic! 😄

Fine as manischewitz wine! I love this version!

A mais bela versão desse clássico da música norte-americana.

So fucking fresh and enjoyable. Aaand I recently really discovered him and this beutiful music called Jazz. It gives me some sort of freedom and wellness, and that's all I've been lookin 4. Cheers from Argentina friends. Gladd I'm now on the sunny side of the street!

Amazing....thank you!

was a amazing beat!

Such happy changes.

Best song ever.

Muchas gracias por compartirlo.

Can anyone else close their eyes and picture walking through the commons in Boston, or Central Park in New York? Amazing.

that line Stitt plays around 6:25 it crazy

I always wondered what my Mimi would hum ... now I know! I love you Mimi and I hope you know I figured it out! I’ll see ya again and we will sing it together!!!!!

I love classical music

Nothing better on youtube. Stitt was the Lone Wolf, the Frank Sinatra of the saxophone, at least 150 albums under his own name. And on the duels--with Jug, Jaws, Getz, Rollins or on alto with Pepper and Richie Cole--I give him the edge. He's the Art Tatum of the horn, not the Bird. And Diz, along with Bird, was the "game changer" (not Miles, who was more of a general manager of the music's course). It was Coltrane and Bill Evans who effected the next change in players' musical language.

With only a little example we can know all the great things Dizzy's havr to share

Fantastic!

It would've been my dream to see him perform in the 60s

The best version.

That drummers getting down 🔥🔥🔥

Awesome 😎

Dizzy an American Master!

Mmmm those solos though

Impresionante swing ...YES,Federico Britos

So lovely and cool.

sweet.. magistral

killer musicians! Even when Dizzy ejects that saliva from his horn at 2:38 (and then gives it the old soft shoe! LOL

Genial apresentação Dizzy...

very nice version!

Guaranteed to put a smile on your old craggy face 😂😂😂🎺🎶🎺🎶🕺🕺🕺❤

Ahh authentic Bebop does the soul good.
