Hawkins and Gillespie were the great be-bop artists, it is always a pleasure to here.

Great clip - very rare. The tune is "Hollywood Stampede". This was the group that Hawkins took to California in 1945 to play at Billy Berg's. It is considered to be the first modern jazz group to play on the West Coast.
