Hi all,
Again a fantastic video was posted from a famous tenor-battle played in 1979 in The Netherlands at the North Sea Jazz Festival. This time it's a ballad feature for the late great Budd Johnson playing 'Alone Together'.
Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVJwnpCO864
Enjoy this great performance of one of the under-rated hero's of jazz tenor!

EDIT: The songtitle is 'Yesterdays' by Jerome Kern, and not 'Alone Together (thanks saxguy1953!)
