Now playing: The sound of tiny cymbals and vibes on this one reminds me of a joke back in the day that when the MJQ played at Newport small boys rolled empty drinks cans down the stone steps. 😄 But they did attract enormous audiences. People who wouldn't be seen dead at a jazz gig (except one with Dave Brubeck) flocked in droves to hear them, which I suppose is why I never went. 🙁

Bill Hardman and Sam Dockery in the 1957 Jazz Messengers. Certainly not in the first league on their instruments, but such fire! 🚒
