Amazing clip! Three of the all-time masters of their instruments at the peak of their powers. And people think the boppers were the only ones to have technically mastered their instruments.
Well, in 1954 when this TV show aired, ( we didn't have TV's in St. Ives then), I'd memorised every line of Sing3 down to the coda drum solo; ( from the 1938 Carnegie Hall version). My party piece was to hum it all the way through....but I've never seen this clip; congratulations, 'crippleDrummer, for posting it. 'Dizzy Spells' from the 1938 concert, with Lionel Hampton, is a small group masterpiece; Sing3 from the concert is the definitive version......Charlie Shavers!.. a jazz star!...but how about Sid Ceasar on tenor!
Benny was at the absolute height of this technical powers here. He had just spent quite a bit of time studying with great Brit classical clarinetist,. Reginald Kell, and was shortly to cut a Mozart recording with the Boston Symohiny. His playing here is unmatchable.
Wow?...ill tell ya...after listenin to some of these original recordings, I realize NOW how much MANY have been cleaned up, RE eqed. Hell, I watched SO MANY videos last night I cant remember if it was Gene or Louie sayin how ya couldnt hear the top end on those old 78s and TV audio, and got worse when gtr and electric bass hit the scene. Only had ONE cassette tape of Genes playin with Buddy and it was wore out by 73. Even at 13, I connected with Gene, more so than Buddy. I thought, Ill see this Cat on Carson, Douglas, Griffin etc soon. Then ..on CBS 6 pm news, soon after entering this whole new world of JR HIGH band,we heard of Genes passing😟...We were givin an orange/black paper back book of 20 of the greatest jazz drummers of all time and we kinda made fun of all the ones in suites/ties ,lookin like bankers sayin" look at these cats with small 3-4 pc kits, they cant play dressed like that?.LOL.THEN... we OOOH & AHHH when we see Ginger, Carmine, Cozey Powel, with LONG hair and HUGE kits, think THEY were the BEST..LOL..I lost that book somewhere along the way. Cant find it on the WWW?...Theres one that looks similar ,written in 91 but its different. REALLY appreciate these PRICELESS uploads !😎
Well looks like he’s playing quarter notes With his right hand of the snare around 4or 5 o’clock position now the question is is he buzzing the right hand when he strikes on one on two on three and on four or is he playing single taps it looks like the left hand is playing on two and four on the snare drum and he’s buzzing and getting a legato feel on the backbeats! My question is is he buzzing the right hand on each quarter note or is he playing single clean distinct taps and of course he varies that rhythm during the solos anybody know what the right hand is doing buzzes or is he pressing the stick into the head or is he playing clean single Taps I’ll consulting original copy of a gene Krupa drum method see if that’s in there anywhere that rhythm
Comedians on the show: Star Sid Caesar, Carl Reiner, Howard Morris - I believe they are doing their version of the audiences at the Paramount Theater during the swing era.

We are so lucky that these time capsules can still be found. Thanks, Drumuitar.
Wow Charlie Shavers in full flight 🔥❤️

That was amazing.... Done live. Old recording but Gene's drums sounded excellent!
Amazing thus does not have well over a million views. Krupa, Goodman, two legends. Sid not bad on sax. Whemmn music was actually great.
Una maravilla que jamás volverá a repetirse.

Love the audience reaction. Those guys just eat up swing!
Drumuitar Thank you yet again for another fabulous video. Gene's calfskin heads sound great especially on the toms. Excellent job, Drumuitar.
The great Charlie Shavers !!!!!
Mel Powell on piano. A rare treat.
❤️ Sid Caesar
The best drummer ever? Gene Krupa.
AND the father of the modern drum set.
Benny sounds really good here!

As usual Benny nailed it with Gene!
Oh Yeah!!!

Great clip of Mel Powell
At 7:24 he was supposed to come back in with the others but i guess he missed it
cipherTV poor guy, he was playing awesomely- and benny wasn’t known for his forgiving nature
Seems like maybe the band cut Charlie off 2 bars early?
what is the name of the song in the minute 04:38
Sing Sing Sing by Louis Prima. It was famously showcased by Benny at the Carnegie Hall concert in 1938.
@@frederickhill7181 It's also the second national anthem in Japan. Just about every band in the country plays it!
Who’s the tenor sax man?
Greg Burrows Sid!
Mr. Shavers.
The audience, are they meant to be funny?

Technically, I think this show was called "Your Show Of Shows".
Caesar's Hour :)
You are correct. Show of Shows
