- RARE OLDIES SOUNDIES WITH MR SLIM GAILLARD & HIS TRIO ! Bulee "Slim" Gaillard (January 4, 1916 February 26, 1991) was an American jazz singer, songwriter, pianist, and guitarist, noted for his vocalese singing and word play. A related singer in the idiom of humorous jazz singing is Babs Gonzales, who also flourished in the 1940s. Along with Gaillard's date of birth, his family lineage and place of birth are disputed. One account is that he was born in Santa Clara, Cuba of a Greek father and an Afro-Cuban mother ; another is that he was born in Pensacola, Florida to a German father and an African-American mother . There is also question as to whether he was actually born in Detroit. Regardless, Gaillard grew up in Detroit and moved to New York City in the 1930s. Gaillard first rose to prominence in the late 1930s as part of Slim & Slam, a jazz novelty act he formed with bassist Slam Stewart. Their hits included "Flat Foot Floogie (with a Floy Floy)", "Cement Mixer (Puti Puti)" and the hipster anthem, "The Groove Juice Special (Opera in Vout)". The duo performs in the 1941 movie Hellzapoppin'. Gaillard's appeal was similar to Cab Calloway and Louis Jordan in that he presented a hip style with broad appeal (for example in his children's song "Down by the Station"). Unlike them, he was a master improviser whose stream of consciousness vocals ranged far afield from the original lyrics along with wild interpolations of nonsense syllables like MacVoutie O-reeney. One such performance is celebrated in the 1957 novel On the Road by Jack Kerouac. Gaillard later teamed with bassist Bam Brown; Slim and Bam can be seen in a 1948 motion picture featurette -- with the Gaillardese title O'Voutie O'Rooney -- filmed live at one of their nightclub performances. In the late forties and early fifties, Gaillard frequently opened at Birdland for such greats as Charlie Parker, Flip Phillips, and Coleman Hawkins. His 1945 session with Parker and Dizzy Gillespie is notable, both musically and for its relaxed convivial air. Gaillard could play several instruments, and always managed to turn the performance from hip jazz to comedy: he would play the guitar with his left hand fretting from the top of the neck, or would play credible piano solos with his palms facing up. Gaillard appeared in several shows in the 1960s and 1970s, such as Marcus Welby, M.D., Charlie's Angels, Mission Impossible, Medical Center, and Along Came Bronson. He also appeared in the 1970s TV series Roots: The Next Generations and reprised some of his old hits on the NBC primetime variety program, The Chuck Barris Rah Rah Show. By the early 1980s he was touring the European jazz festival circuit, playing with such musicians as Arnett Cobb. He also played with George Melly and John Chilton's Feetwarmers, appearing on their BBC television series. He later appeared in the musical film Absolute Beginners (1986) singing "Selling Out".
Slim Gaillard could blow away any of today's 'pop' musicians that repeat the same chords and words over and over again. All Rooney Mcvouty.....rest in peace...........
THESE ARE THE ORIGINAL HEP CATS! Great Music Back in the Day! Thanks
Slim Gaillard is best known for his humour, but he really could play, both Piano and guitar. A musical genius.
Hi , thanks for your comment !!! The drummer is Scatman Crothers !!! NICKY .
the man was a legend and he SHOULD be recognized as such TODAY...so much music to day is prepackaged commercial shyte (Taylor Swift, ooooooh aaahhhhh:) while masters like this man, and Cab, and Django and others from the golden era of pure, true jazz, are ignored, like they never existed!!!!!! If I had any kids, I wold have raised them so they not only knew who the Beatles and Stones were, but who the GREATS of Jazz and blues were.
can`t get enough of them - Gaillard & Brown , what a cuple of joy for me !!!!!
Bam was outta control! What a tempo!
or, rather, in total control !
If we could only bring back the joy and passion for life of this era, we wold not only be the heppest of cats, we would be mellorooney blissedovouti!!!! Are ya gettin' it?
O'Voutee - you are eternal!

Scatman Crothers from "The Shining"?
Cooool!
I don't believe it's the same guy. Could it be?
Just checked Wikipedia. The drummer and the actor in the shining are one and the same. Quite a career.
Go, Bam, GO!!
The video cuts dont always belong to the music you hear. That's for shure!
great clip and nice for someone to put a decent amount of information with a clip. Thanks!
Love this vid !!!

Chief Gaillard☆★♥♡NO.1
Des genies
Hot, man, hot!
Sick
WWWHHHOOOoooaaa!!!

These guys kill it good, and the white guys sit there like clay. Slim looks up every once in while to see if they're still alive.
HAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAH !!!
maybe they were just really stoned...or entranced, like the first time you see an unicorn
Often highly intelligent people will be quietly analyzing what is happening in the music, the harmonies, chord progressions, the improvisational techniques, the interaction between the musicians and the subtle cues they give one another. Jazz is very sophisticated and complex, and Slim is a genius. I would imagine the audience are educated listeners and are savory all the complexities. There is much more to this music then just a beat to bounce an bob your head to.
It would be helpful to know the year of this recording.
O'Vootee
O'rootey McVoutey, there!
Cootie Voo
man that bass player HAHA
his name is Bam Brown
Reminds me of an f-hole Harmony I used to know.
slim n slam, ah vouty rootie tootie.
Ain't nuthin' else.
Was this filmed at Billy Berg's??
Great! And bass player Bam Brown is really funny. Who was the drummer?
The legendary Scat Man Crothers. Best known to later generations as Hong Kong Phooey.
SMOKIN!
he said art tatum only hired him and slam to play cards while they were on the road, but they sure did some good stuff with tatum and on their own.
Slim distinctly calls this , "Chili O' Rootee"
supposedly Slim was stranded on an island somewhere for years as a child alone !
Yeah Manhatten Island
The bass player seems to simulate most of the time, because you dont hear the notes in accord to his play.
Who is the drummer please?
Hi, thanks for your comment !!! The drummer is Scatman Crothers !!! NICKY.
da fuck
Fart o rooni
OMG! NO SH%T?!
The bass track doesn't match the playing. Drums don't match. This is BS.
Shut up and listen to the music.
Think how long ago it was filmed .
