I recently came across the following video of Billy Taylor talking about jazz improvisation. He discusses Louis Armstrong and Dizzy Gillespie and compares their improvisational styles.
There’s a whole series of videos of Taylor on YouTube and through the official web site, including more of this television program.
Great video (I’ve seen many others from this series)!
Jimmy Cleveland has always been one of my favourite trombone players, and I think he’s rather underrated as far as bebop trombonists go.
