Hey Gary: Yes, I do know Leo's version. I really dig his playing, and his videos. It would appear Grace Kelly is now his musical and life partner. He's gotta a whole different thing going on than other baritone sax players with his hair, clothing and his movements. The sax duos with Grace, who is also an excellent musician bring a visual component to the music that's very organic, and fun.
Dear Bret, Impressive performance. This driving gospel piece always seems to inspire musician and audiences. (Do you know this energetic version by sax-baritone Leo Pellegrino? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krLYZmPRtnc 11:15) The spontaneous handclapping from the audience, changing metrical gears over a static 6/8 pattern, impassioned solos and exhortatory shouting are unmistakable qualities of a jazz-soul inspiring classic...an improvised opening bass solo that become part of the composition...a masterpiece...Medicine for the Soul... Thanks for sharing. Best regards and be safe.

Whoo, those guys is fiery indeed! Loved the ease with which Hannibal flew up and down registers.
Trumpet's hard. You are somewhat obliged to blow your brains out.
