Blues Walk

You get to hear Dizzy Gillespie play with Sonny Stitt, unlike with say Charlie Parker:

Notes:

• At one point Sonny plays just like the trumpet player (hear the quarter high notes)
• Sonny plays with the drums, doing swung eighths to stay in time with the drummer
• Sonny plays a lot more double tounging here so that he can still be in rhythmic time with the drums (he'll do a run, then double tounge to stay in time with the drums)
• You hear Dizzy playing much quieter at the start to build up (after the loud, almost obscene playing by Sonny)
• You see how little he's moving the valves! That's because he is trying to hit different pitches.
