Jazz trumpeter and flugelhornist Bill Hardman (April 6, 1933 – December 6, 1990)
I’m convinced his left and right hand were from two total different minds. I’m still in awe everytime I rewatch this excellent solo.
I’m also sure the more he sweated, the more power he surged. EDIT: That’s not sweat, those are raindrops of passion flowing from his soul.
Happy Birthday and rest in paradise ♥️

Horace Silver Quintet - Song For My Father
Recorded live in Copenhagen, Denmark, April 1968.
Song for My Father was recorded in October 1964 and released on the Blue Note label. The album was inspired by a trip that Silver had made to Brazil. The cover artwork features a photograph of Silver's father, John Tavares Silva, to whom the title song was dedicated. "My mother was of Irish and Negro descent, my father of Portuguese origin", Silver recalls in the liner notes, "He was born on the island of Maio, one of the Cape Verde Islands."
Bennie Maupin on tenor sax. Bill Hardman trumpet, Johnny Williams bass and Billy Cobham drums, Horace Silver piano.

Junior Cook: Born July 22, 1934
Born in Pensacola, Florida 86 years ago, tenor saxophonist Junior Cook was strong, rhythmically forceful soloist in the traditions of his influences, Dexter Gordon and Sonny Stitt. His personality, though, was quiet and pensive, as this Francis Wolff photo captures. Best known for his long stints with Horace Silver, Blue Mitchell and the quintet he co-led with Bill Hardman, Cook was an underappreciated original on his instrument.
