... And We're Back.
Tenor:
This performance is legendary. With this performance, Paul Gonsalves ensured that, even in the era of Rock and Roll, the Duke's music would remain as relevant as it had been in the swing era:
For 27 choruses, the rest of the band was silent as it became a simple quartet with Jimmy Woode on Bass, Sam Woodyard on Drums, and the Duke on piano, and the normally staid audience leapt to their feet and started dancing.
Baritone:
Gerry Mulligan's recordings with Chet Baker reinvented jazz.
ALL OF THEM:
Rahsaan Roland Kirk played soprano, alto, and tenor saxes. Simultaneously. And damn well. A lot of the time, he'd perform with a rack of the three saxes, a couple flutes, and maybe some percussion instruments. I like to think when he was a kid, he decided he wanted to play the sax, and when the man behind the counter told him about the many different types of saxophone, he just said "all of them" and managed to learn to play them all at the same time. To see footage of him performing, it may look silly, but it sounds incredible. At one point in this track, he's droning on one sax, setting up a beat and chord progression on the second, and soloing with the third.
