Nice clip, Acman3; nothing like a good tenor battle. A couple of thoughts that relate to recently discussed subjects:
Completely unimportant period instrument trivia: Craig Handy is playing a Selmer MK6 tenor and Joshua Redman a Selmer "Balanced Action". Redman's is the historically "correct" horn and is like what a player would have played in Kansas City at the time. The model Handy is playing was not made until almost twenty years later. Both great players and Redman actually captures the style of that era better than Handy who hints at a more modern harmonic sensibility. Great stuff!
Error in personnel listing: the baritone player is James Carter not Don Byron; Carter is the one with the "I am better than both those guys put together" expression on his face.
The suit thing: I agree that it's important; but, let's remember that most men wore suits and hats to walk to the drugstore. That's the way men dressed back then.
Thanks for sharing!
