Alex, really liked the Dick Garcia clips; thanks for that. Very nice player that is new to me; you did it again. Biggest surprise for me was Bill Evans playing in a very harmonically "inside" and swingy style. Much of his recorded work has shown a harmonically complex vocabulary in his improvised lines and harmonies, surely and in part a result of his affinity for the Impressionist composers (Ravel, Debussy) as you pointed out a while ago. On this clip he keeps things much more simple harmonically and even the very swingy feel here has his usual sense of understatement.
Great to hear Tony Scott on clarinet on "Have You Met Miss Jones".. Like Hambro, one of those guys who was a hero to the players but never gained much public recognition. The clarinet doesn't get too much love on this thread unfortunately. The greatest bebopper on the clarinet:
