Ten minutes and thirty-five seconds of fun from the the very first Jazz at the Philharmonic concert July 2, 1944.
J.J. Johnson - trombone Illinois Jacquet, Jack McVea - tenor saxes Les Paul - guitar Nat King "Shorty Nadine" Cole - piano Johnny Miller - bass Lee (Prez' brother) Young - drums
Hear Illinois Jacquet invent rock 'n' roll sax and then Les Paul and Nat Cole chase each other through the changes.
That was fantastic. I just love it. There are times, albeit rare, that you gotta just love the internet. This is a real gem on so many levels. Thanks for posting. ---------- LSC
