It don't mean a thing - Ella & JATP 1958

Jazz at the Philharmonic in Holland. Of course, jazz musicians were always welcomed and when the top musicians with Norman Granz's JATP wanted to come to the Netherlands the famous Amsterdam concertgebouw was offered for their concerts. This clip is from a 1958 concert. We see and hear the Oscar Peterson trio with Ray Brown on bass and Herb Ellis on guitar. They perform together with Ella Fitzgerald, with solos of violinist Stuff Smith and trumpetplayer Roy Eldridge

Dave Brubeck_How High the Moon

Cecil has died.  I remember well when I first heard him   ---   he must have been "woodsheding" (working out his sounds, practising, etc) in a little Greenwich Village coffeeshop named The Cafe Raffio.  At first it was somewhat annoying  --  then I just let his sounds wash over me.  Something I remember to this day.  I was with Jon Oliver Gaines, a good friend, and a fine folksinger.  Antway, Cecil was a true pioneer, a fine pianio player, another Jazz Giant we have lost.  I really am old when those in the avant-garde pass away before me.  Where to now?
