Most amazing jazz, this was the time to be in, really, especially the stuff Art Blakey and Wayne Shorter were doing. The greats of Jazz truly, with Gillespie, Morgan, Bobby Timmons, just incredible stuff, thanks for the upload.

MortenBoHansen

nothing beats this version!... When Shorter enters on the outro with that mega dark piano, i'm all in it!.. And just the off beat break where the blind piano man actually hits the fucking note at the right time just shows music is visible. Not only in guitar hero;D.. but in real life!
