Oscar Pettiford with Coleman Hawkins

[@classicbasslines]

Song is “Hollywood Stampede”. A contrafact over the Sweet Georgia Brown changes. Clifford Brown has a recording of this called “Sweet Clifford”

Thank you for posting this important document. Pettiford killing the riff. It quotes Ornithology and Dizzy composition Bebop. Brilliant post. A film like this worth more than thousands of words of history.

Brief---but a true jazz treasure. And has anyone ever looked as cool as Oscar did in that scene?

[@robchalfen]

prob when they were in LA 1945, lineup as per Capitol sides, McGhee, Sir Charles Thompson - piano, Denzil Best - drums, OP - bass

[@beeshor1]

That looked like Howard McGhee on trumpet!

[@paranoidjones]

OP fucking crushing with one finger as always.

[@stogies3]

Fun fact :I used to live in the building where Coleman Hawkins lived in NYC-
just a couple of blocks from where D. Ellington used to live - until he passed.
I believe he lived there from the late 1940-ies.

Howard McGee on trumpet.

[@Garramedia]

The film is "The Crimson Canary" (John Hoffman
1945)

[@rrozoff1]

From the film Crimson Canary. Josh White’s performance is equally tour de force.

[@jazzfool20]

The Song is "Hollywood Stampede"

[@gloucester414]

Howard McGhee on trumpet I think and Mr Hawkins was the ultimate.....

[@danielperri245]

yes this is sweet georgia brown...and Dizzy Gillespies influence is all over this.

[@heinrichpeffenkoffer4894]

Daniel Perri with some ornithology

[@brucescott4261]

Daniel Perri ...The tune is entitled "Hollywood Stampede," which is based on the changes of "Sweet Georgia Brown."

[@itsfree2payattentionkp853]

Wonder if I'm related to Oscar. That would be cool

[@logudorian]

@DajaWaja
Yes, I think
But I don't know the title of this song

[@elijahwald]

So...any chance you'll put up the Josh White segment?

[@saintpistolsburg]

Hot Damn!!!

[@vincentdaly78]

I believe this is from the 1945 movie The Crimson Canary.

[@IberianInteractive]

[@elinaragon5051]

[@brucescott4261]
