From Bret "Jazz Video Guy" Primack, here is the Horace Silver Sextet playing "Tokyo Blues" at the 1987 Berlin Jazz Festival. The band lineup here is the sextet itself, minus vocalist Andy Bey. Horace Silver on piano, Brian Bromberg on double bass, Carl Burnett on drums, Dave Douglas on trumpet, and Vincent Herring on saxes (alto and tenor). You will notice Herring plays his solo on alto, and switches to tenor for the remainder of the tune as the band finishes the solos and returns to del cappo (the head) of the composition, and the horns play out with the rest of the band after Brian Bromberg's wicked double bass solo. Great tune. Dig it.
