Billy Taylor's Trip to Kansas City
Billy Taylor died December 28. The pianist is seen here 52 years ago with a group of musicians associated with Count Basie's band. Taylor sounds excellent, but it's impossible to outshine Mr. Five by Five, Vic, Vice Prez and Buck. I could watch this brilliant clip all day.

Great clip Bill - thanks for posting. JazzVideoGuy on Youtube has a lot more Billy Taylor clips for anyone who's interested.
I always find excellent clips here. You are the thread that holds this loose knit community together. Db
