A quite rare video of silver top solo on 6:36 and after by the Don Ellis orchestra.

Loved the product placement throughout the stage... Fender-badged music stands for the ensemble :) six Fender amps, including three in front of the ensemble that do not even appear to be plugged in.

Two bass players, stand-up and electric - that must had been a challenge.

This actually brings up an interesting point - perhaps they had an endorsement deal, and George Duke talks about being introduced to the Rhodes first in Ellis' big band.
