Long version with extended solos. Denmark TV 1968, back when it was cool for jazz groups to wear matching, tailored suits.

From the You Tube notes:
Horace Silver - Piano
Bill Hardman - Trumpet
Bennie Maupin - Tenor
John Williams - Bass
Billy Cobham - Drums

The beauty of Youtube. I enjoy watching videos of jazz artists from the 50's and 60's.

Thank you, Bill.

So many of the jazz giants from the 40's, 50's, and 60's are passing away. I sometimes wonder if there is anyone coming up through the ranks to replace them.

Jazz is not really popular among us Boomers, as we grew up on rock & roll and ushered in the British invasion during our teens.

Here is a re-post of the video. Very long (18+ minutes), so you can listen to it while catching up on the President Trump thread. :laughing
