I have a 28mb, 12:15 MP3 file that I can send to anyone that will help me identify it. I need to know if
this number was actually played at the Massey Hall concert???
Well, this track I have is a quintet and I have downloaded it twice from the internet. This track lists
Powell, Roach, Mingus, Dizzy, & Bird as the players and the title: "I've got you under my skin".
However, I have heard a clip of the "I've Got you under my Skin" they played at Massey Hall, not the
same number. But I have most of Charlie's recordings and I KNOW what Charlie sounds like. This cut
features TWO sax solos and it sure sounds like Bird. That is why if I send it to one of my fellow
jazz lovers you can listen to it and possibly identify it.
This cut is 12:15 in length and was recroded LIVE and the sound quality is excellent. It opens with a
man saying "a one two three four", at the 00:02 sec mark the paino starts and at the 00:25 sec. mark,
the trumpet comes in on top of the piano, at the 00:39 sec. mark the drum comes in and ends at the
00:45 sec. mark, at the 00:59 sec. mark the drum comes in again, bass comes in at the 1:06 mark, the
FIRST sax solo starts at the 1:26 mark & during the first sax solo the sax plays on top of the bass,
you can hear the drums, but only ocasionally. FIRST SAX solo ends at the 3:29 mark with light
appluse from 3:33 until about 3:40, at the 3:32 mark the trumpet solo begins and plays on top of the
bass and ends at the 5:36 mark. The SECOND sax solo starts at the 5:39 mark and the SAX SOLO
sax plays on top of the bass. More light appluse from 5:37 until about the 5:43 mark, from the 7:26
until the 7:27 mark the drummer taps his drumstick 4 times in the be-bop fashion and the SECOND
sax solo ends at the 7:39 mark. A beautiful paino solo begins at the 7:41 mark with more light
appluse from 7:42 until about the 7:48 mark. PIANO solo ends at the 9:41 mark with more light
appluse from 9:43 until about the 9:51 mark. A beautiful BASS solo begins at 9:41 and ends at the
10:41 mark. The trumpet comes in again on top of the piano at 10:41 and the drums come in at the
10:54 mark. The trumpet, piano, and drums repeat the same molodic pattern the number began with
and this pattern ends at the 11:40 mark. At the 11:43 mark the trumpet begins with a shift in rhythm
and melody but the piano maintains the same melody and rhythm it started the number with and the
paino ends at the 11:57 mark. At the 11:57 mark the trumpet ends. At the 11:56 mark the drums begin
its finishing flourishes and ends at 12:11. LIght applause from 12:06 until the 12:15 mark.
