    Just found another nice old video on YouTube that I would like to share here: I remember having seen this on the Dutch television. It's coming from the Lionel Hampton All Star Big Band at the North Sea Jazz Festival in 1978 in The Netherlands. I love the solo of the great Arnett Cobb...

    Just found a fantastic video of Arnett Cobb recorded in 1979 in The Hague (Netherlands). I was there as a 17 year old non playing jazz lover and it turned me to start playing tenor a few years later. Check it out!
