    I was just looking for some live jazz on YouTube and was at a bit of a loss.

    What are you favorite live jazz performances?

    I love that version of So What, Coltrane's solo is very flowing.

    I love the Bobo Stenson trio pieces filmed in a forest in Sweden. Beautifully shot, and wonderfully serene music. Here's one of my favourite compositions of his from the album Goodbye (on ECM), but the whole series is worth a watch if you have an hour to spare :)

    This is a message I posted on another thread incidentally...
    Here are a few of my favourite youtube videos. If you follow the career of any of the individual performers you won't go wrong:
    Count Basie Orchestra with the incomparable Ella Fitzgerald:

    Billie Holiday with an ensemble of greats in 1957; includes Lester Young giving a magnificent solo (2nd soloist after Ben Webster):

    From the same session, The Sound of Jazz, here's Basie again with his best ever male vocalist, Mr five by five himself, Jimmy Rushing:

    Here's Duke Ellington with Juan Tizol who composed this famous tune, Caravan, from 1952. My favourite moment is the violin solo by Ray Nance, who was of course a famous trumpet player!
