Big Al Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 The Apple Jam session with Basie and the session with Charlie Parker are my favorites, but it's all good. Some people say Roy's over the top in these JATP type settings, but I think he's perfect Apple Jam is an amazingly swinging session. Always knew Wardell could do it, but Getz's playing here is a revelation! Hear! Hear! I love the picture of the studio from that session, with a shirtless bass player (name escapes me, and I don't have the box in front of me). Looks like those guys were SERIOUSLY burnin' the place up!

The shirtless bass player was John Simmons. It was recorded in Hollywood on August 3rd and it's obvious from the photos that the weather was as hot as the music!
