Is that a studio track dubbed over a live performance video? The voice is in sync, the instruments not always or not al of them. That is basically a reggae or ska beat, where the rhythm guitar is on the off beat.

They say in the liner notes that the discographically known unissued material was nowhere to be found and is considered lost.

Will listen to all of them today. Great, swinging music.

Chuck beat me to it. If anyone could do this, it is James Harrod. Those thousands of edits and scattered releases make it a nightmare.

Had another one this weekeend.

from this box set:

"What is this thing called jazz, this funny thing called jazz" 😉

I think the problem lies in the categories and how we define them. With Basie, it's jazz. With a different rhythm section, probably not. I could care less about these categories. It's a nice track, that's good enough for me. I bet there are jazz instrumentalists that do noz "swing" in your ears, but are taken as jazz musicians. Coltrane didn't swing, in a strict sense, in his later years. 👍

.... plus the capability to improvise, ranging from melodic variations of the given material to scatting in a horn-like fashion.

Now that's a very nice one!

Soundwise, excellent. Audiophiles raved about it back then. A 45 rpm LP, direct-to-disc. Tjader's quintet of the time expanded with horns and extra percussion. Used copies are not that expensive. It was on CD on the Laserligt label with two extra tracks that had only Gary Foster's flute - these are on the new CD reissue due in May, but I have no idea what source material they used.

Burt Goldblatt is credited in small print just above the Savoy label name.

Can you please edit the thread title? It's Tjader not Trader. Tjader never played with the Lionel Hampton band, btw, he just met him as a boy. That is a mistake in the promo text.
