They are all awesome musicians. Bravo!

Brad Conroy

Mundell's solo is a gem, he never get enough credit, and Konitz's tone is awesome..

Alain James

Warne Marsh is absolutely magic!

Steven Hartman

And what about that solo by Billy Taylor. Very much in the Tristano School and a gem.

great post,,would love to see this show and series in it`s entirety.,,they were blowing on lady bird and then played half nelson out,,very cool.

Never seen a mellophone before it sounds good. I think this music is like smart and yet so complete feeling wise. It's hard to describe intellect without pretension because I don't see it much, myself included.

Can u believe that once upon a time there was a country playing these musics on tv every day and especially weekends,,,, before it,s music which is known and called THE ONLY FORM OF AMERICAN ART was ruined

ahahah epic fail from the tv broadcast, showing "half nelson" score while the group is playing ladybird! thanks for sharing, great video!

Actually, they play both; "Ladybird" at the beginning and "Half Nelson" at the end. Also, Don Elliot is playing the Mellophone, not trumpet. Classic performance! :)

Warne Marsh is a genius!

Davide Corso

Great!! The theme actually played is "Lady bird", not "Half Nelson" (they have almost the same changes)
