God bless Mr. Wells 🎉

Look how dude was RAPPING in the beginning of the documentary!!!!! Oh but Jamaicans created Hip hop.....FOH

'Time' IS the test of all things. And, Jazz, in all it's forms, has past the test. It IS the AMERICAN music of ALL time.

SWING FOREVER

Love the shop scene 🎬

Big Band Swing was Mr. Louis Armstrong orchestrated.

What do you know?! a young Tony Williams doing that drum solo?

What a Marvelous documentary. Thank you. …PS: I see that “Born To Swing” was made in 1973.

Thank you for this.,wonderful,interviews and music.

That distinctive voice of Humphrey Lyttleton on the soundtrack, is fabulous. "Humph" (1921-2008) was a popular trumpeter in the Satchmo style & a popular "trad jazz" bandleader (his "Bad Penny Blues" was in the UK Top Twenty Hit Parade for 6 weeks, in 1956). He was also a newspaper cartoonist & a BBC radio "personality" for many years - his "posh" Upper Class accent (his father was a house master at Eton College , the poshest of the posh public schools) contrasting with his wicked sense of humour.

bester film!

Gene and Jo always looked like they were having fun on the kit, whereas Buddy Rich always played like it was life or death🥁🥁

❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you for uploading this gem of a documentary. Was there ever an album issued from the recording session in this film?

Thank you - this is a wonderful resource. What players!

Danke fürs Hochladen, ich fand die Sendung sehr interessant. Und auch wenn die Meinungen stark divergierten, blieb der Ton, zumindest der sitzenden und rauchenden Herrenrunde, immer anständig und wurde nie verletzend. Das würde ich mir heutzutage auch gerne mehr wünschen. Brötzmann die coole Socke!

thanks for sharing these great recordings!

Papa Jo be so happy!

Und wer waf nun der Musiker der alles im Alleingang machte ? Hatte ich da wirklich Frank Zappa gehört - und das in der DDR ?!

Terribly depressing to see how these GREAT musicians ended up. They certainly deserved more recognition and definitely more money!

Great !

Priceless documentary!

I thought he was a dancer and ladies man?

And magic is real, kids. There's no other name for that

These musicians were real artists. They lived for their art. And they suffered for it in that the public largely forgot about them after the 1940's. But they remained true to their art regardless. I love their art and I love these men.

whats the tune at 18.46

Thank you so much for sharing this ☺️

In what year was this documentary released?

SWING BABY SWING ! ! !

Great to see Earl Warren, Alto Saxophonist, leading the band & representing Springfield, Ohio, our hometown & also home to John Legend. Thanks for posting this great jazz music pieces. RIP, Earl Warren

Super best friend of my father what happy times one family one soul

Amazing....thank you so much!

Great work! Thank you! It would be wonderful if we had just a little more information: I’d really like to know who is on the reunion recording: bass, piano, 2nd trombone, guitar, etc. the more ID you can do, just as a name while a picture scrolls, the better..

Knew him in Springfield when he lived in the nursing home, a gentleman.

Thank you so much. I am a Basie fan and had the luck to see him two times in concert, as many of his former sidemen. What makes this docu so special is that it gives an insight into a musician life as them age and public taste changes. Joe Newman I had the great pleasure to meet when he came to town with Lionel Hampton and hang out with him. So again, thank you for the effort. Stay healthy in this crazy times.

INCREDIBLE!!!!

Thanks for posting this!

Marvelous documentary about the Count Basie alumni! Is that Frank Zappa(as a clerk?) and Buddy Rich at 28:47? Marvelous drumming by Papa Jo Jones starting at 32:06.

1:04 yeah but check out those razor sharp threads- class!! And that trilby with Robin Hood feather makes me think it’s just his smart-casual 😂

john lennon @0:50

Geile Mucke und interessantes Zeitdokument. Danke fürs Hochladen.

Song name?

Que sutil Jo Jones!!!!

Danke für´s Hochladen! Aber mal ehrlich - schon wieder den Bassisten vergessen? Immer dasselbe mit Euch... Es ist Joop Christopher.

Tommy Flanagan!

Joe Newman

4:00 orgasm !!!

anyone know who the trumpet player is?

Yeah Buddy!

Guess this must be the sad side of Swing
