Very tight ! Well recorded and a typical Goodwin chart - we play a few of those in our band they are challenging as well as fun.

I noticed some flying fingers in the sax section - way off the pearls.

You can hardly see his fingers move except when he goes for the palm keys.

So I guess in order to play as well as Parker, I would have to practice a lot to reduce the amount my fingers move.

But in the meanwhile I would feel fairly happy if I could play as badly as Desmond.

Maybe it is filmed to a playback recording, what they mostly had to do in those days.
