I've always wanted to find the live version of the Billy Eckstine Orchestra with Gene Ammons and Dexter Gordon blowing the blues away...

Mindblowing. Blasting this in the car full volume while driving in the rain. This part of the sixties was the pinnacle of no nonsense tenor sax solos with great discipline to not embellish or play too fast, but focus on great tone, subtle swing feel and time feel. So good, thanks!!
