Earl Bostic - Deep Purple download song

good intro - I have been a Bostic fan - FOREVER !! - saw him in Toronto at The Colonial Tavern - ?? 50 something. Thanks

Earl bostic, no one played like him, never.

Maybe the rock and roll feel is what made me wow when i walked in to the jazz club at school. That was it he hooked me. The only guy who could equal his rhythmic drive in my opinion was Capt John Handy. Both brilliant altoists  

Sweet sounds into the wee hours of the nite

the very best Earl Bostic great music to dance to

Richard, Bostic "s style sounds great 56 years later. even thou music has advanced and new artist build and add from their predecesors. Val

Thought you'd like to know this is one of my favorite Bostic arrangements. I play tenor and worked up an arrangement of Earl Bostic's Deep Purple at a slightly slower tempo but using the same note structure. I started listening to Bostic back in 1980 and was hooked. He came to Toledo, Ohio in September of 1965 and passed away a little over a month later.

Earl Bostic was the best ,no one like him takes me back to 1950s oh what great times ,

In Canada, I used to go to Elmwood casino ( night club not gamling) with my wife and we saw Sammy Davis Jr. another time we saw Bobby Darin, Sometimes Marv Welch the comedian used to be there. I like Canada you people are more civic minded. Today our country is a crapshoot if you're born rich or lucky your ""IN" Now my wife and I go to Windsor Casino (gambling) occasionally. Valenty

I just played Earl Bostic tonight on my radio show. It was a song called Flamingo. He was excellent. Your right about the rock n roll feel very nice with his sax. Richard

I meant to write strong comment. again Val

Nobody, no saxman certainly, ever united great rock and roll and bebop jazz better than Earl Bostic. He sounds like he's having a ton of fun and fun is what the listener will get too. An immortal I think, he will turn out to be. Listen to the perfection in the way he so effortlessly outlines the chord changes! When I tried playing bebop with rock and roll groups I'd no roots in the sound or style of r and b like Bostic had. "Just play long notes and growl a lot" they told me, "none of that complicated s__t." But do note that his backround was not sounding like the Beach Boys. 

I am a fan of Earl Bostic since 1954
