Video of the Week #58

This is the Dizzy Gillespie Quintet doing "On the Sunny Side of the Street" in Belgium in 1958. His partner is Sonny Stitt on the tenor sax. The other group members are Lou Levy, piano; Ray Brown, bass; and Gus Johnson, drums.


I would have featured their version of "Blues Walk" had I not already posted a version of the same song by Dexter Gordon (as "Loose Walk"). But in case you'd like to hear it again. . . (Sonny Stitt really shines on this one.)
