The Earth trembled when these two giants walked upon it. It warms my heart to see these two generations of important Jazz artists playing side by side. Especially following Louis's initial hostility to the Bop revolution.
@@giantspiderproductions3356 , Miles played a sophisticated musician's music requiring an advanced ear to make sense of the progressions and harmony. He even played with his back to the audience. He largely diminished his reputation by alienating himself from the crowd with attitude and massive cocaine use. Louis and Dizzy were more pop music yes, but they entertained and improvised better than anyone. Miles isn't even close in that regard. Imo of course.
It's so amusing to hear the difference in the playing styles of Dizzy and Satchmo. Both are brilliant trumpet players and truly masters of their craft but they both play such different styles of trumpet and singing! Its just awesome to watch.
At 2:13, Dizzy accidentally spat on Louis's face when singing about his "parasol". Louis wiped his face and replied "Your parasol is juicy, boy". That's why people laughed so hard after that line.
This is the joke, but i doubt its what happened. Actually, Louis made this joke many times on stage when singing beside another person, like this. I'm not sure if it was just Louis that played the gag, but he's the only one I've seen use it more than once. I love this performance so much with these two greats. Like others have said, i could listen to it over and over. I wish the sound was better. Happy 100th Birthday Dizzy. Oct 21, 1917. Wish you were still here.
Another tidbit at 2:25... when Dizzy said, "Let it pitter-patter, let it pitter-patter, Don't mind the rain" Louis said, "Swiss Kriss," a laxative he endorsed back in the days!!
I can see the difference between traditional jazz and Bebop though this performance. While Dizzy plays with modern chord interpretation and elaborated rhythm pattern, Louis plays with familiar chords and basic rhythm. I don't want to say which is better or not. Both have their good points respectively, and both are indeed SWINGING.
dizzy focuses more on just playing notes through the chords and enjoying his musician knowledge, while louis focuses more on creating a melody to the chords as if it were its own tune
These are arguably the two greatest American musicians ever. They are easily the two most important inovators in jazz. Without them, jazz would still be in the stone age.
There was brief tension between the two generation at one point but it's wonderful to see them together on the stage. Two very important, innovative giants of music ❤❤❤
Thank you, Byklon. You've put into words something I've felt for years. That fact is the reason why I've been playing Pops here on RUclips this afternoon.
Sheer genius! Two masters of their craft sharing the same stage just jamming for fun. Nothing this side of the century comes close! God bless satchmo & dizzy x
In Dizzy's autobiography there's a photo of him and Louis, with several other people, having a good laugh at a party at Dizzy's house. They were giants and great people too.
Why doesn't this century have anyone that can do this? We need people like Dizzy and Satchmo in the music industry today. If you happen to know of anyone like them, that plays today, please let me know.
Glad that I got to see Dizzy Gillespie and his band perform in the 1980's at my college. It was an amazing night of beauteous music that I felt like I was barely touching the ground as I walked home that night. Wish I had seen Louis perform in concert as well. That would have been lovely. Thanks!!!!!! :{ )
What is there not to Love about this? Something in my Brain starts to groove when I listen to Bebop Jazz. One of the best anti depressants on the market. Fantastic!!
I love this song. Especially the beginning. And that dude in the back interrupting his scatting is hilarious! Yet it adds to the richness of the song. The talent of these men are just astounding!
G-d bless pops and diz for bringing so much joy to the world thru music. when you listen with your heart, it's a special blessing from these greats of african-americans' gift to the world:jaaazzzzz.
Two of the greatest innovators in jazz (American) music together...Louis is obviously the king and Dizzy is in highest form with the "new" be-bop style at that time. Thanks for posting.
Not true. There is and always has been great and lousy music. You just have to take the time and effort to find it. Popular music is worse today, but there is plenty great stuff out there.
Man, this is a fantastic duet with two legends of jazz. Thank God videos like this are available to the public. That being said, Dizzy's neck thing freaks me out every time.
What kind of world are we living in. Damn near everyone is all about commercialized fake-ass music and refuse to listen to artistic passionate music like this. 35 dislikes? We can't all enjoy the same stuff, but how could you not love this music.
God bless youtube! would you ever see a clip like this on mainstream tv? I doubt it... and I mean no disrespect to Wynton, Freddy, Clifford et al, but for me, these two remain the greatest jazz trumpeters of all time, a pure joy to behold and listen to, thanks for posting
I like what Wynton Marsalis said that Dizzy did for jazz in the 1940’s what Louis did for jazz in the 1920’s...heavily influenced the art for others to reach for and surpass. And that’s what the both of them did. 🙂🎼🎶🎺
THANK YOU FOR UPLOADING THIS. This song/performance is so beautiful. I just experienced it for the 1st time with my 2-yr-old son. (He wanted to see trumpet.) He loved it, too.
Good for you triple Jack(1), I think we GET IT! This music is just a taste of what's to come, believe it or not. Louis Armstrong's singing was just his spirit---singing--and Dizzy's singing was just his spirit---singing. They both were beautiful people sharing their high-spirited talent. I'm giddy with anticipation for this type of talent to return. After the smoke clears (after chaos of 2009+) it will. THE BEST IS YET TO COME.
What an absolute priviledge to see these two geniuses together- not competing, but collaborating and the result is musical heavan for us all. Thank you so much for posting
The way they just really enjoy themselves especially Louis Armstrong just laughing and loving it, it just makes me happy, no matter how sad I may be, to just sit and watch this. I laugh out loud with happiness when Louis starts laughing and singing. :)
This is beautifull...Does anybody know of any other perfomences that these two did together: they seem to understand each other too well for only having this one together.
Dizzy-ni ilk dəfədir izləyirəm. Jazz musiqisi tamami ilə başqa bir dünyadı. Elə bir musiqidir ki, adamı narahat etmir, sakitləşdirir, hazırda olduğun yerdən başqa yerlərə aparır.
I'm telling you that BOTH of them were on point! If you listen to Pop's high notes and Diz's bebop phrasing and note choices it is amazing! I may be wrong but I think Diz was surprised to see Armstrong. I would have been in panic mode if I was Diz not because he couldn't keep up but because of the jazz legend factor!
What a beautiful gift these two men left us- music that can lift our spirits, and it feels like a privelidge to witness a clip like this, thank you for posting.
Dizzy was the Pops of his generation when it came to be an entertainer so I do not understand why they gave Mr. Armstrong such a hard time. When it came to music Mr. Armstrong said " There are only two kind of music good and bad". I love them both.
When the great Louis Armstrong played with his mentor, "King Oliver," they would do riffs like this, trumpet duets interpolated into various songs, at "The Lincoln Gardens" at 459 East 31st Street in Chicago (starting in 1922). This exchange between the great Louis Armstrong and the great Dizzy Gillespie is reminiscent of those days. Great performance!!!
They had a lightness of touch in their good humoured personalities, but - the musical genius and prodigious know- how is always evident! IMMORTALS OF MUSIC! :)
I love this!!! Dizz and Satchmo together! Plus a brief appearance at the by Jackie Gleason. Modern talent, for the most part, can't compare. Well, at least not in the mainstream that most listen to now.
the bebop and hot cats in jazz is what I live for, 2010 or 1947, years are just numbers, the vibe of jazz in my soul drives me forward, like a macabre blue rose blossoming in the rain, this is what I love, I figure if the 80s can make a comeback with how people are dressing comfortably in bright colors, then this can make a comeback as well, Amy Winehouse, Michael Boobley, are today's gateway to jazz
Dizzy Jr. and Dizzy Sr....what a pair...looks like they always had fun...To be or not to Boop...great jazz history and Dizzy's personality shines through...interestingly, in everything they both did..R.I.P.
Check out Louis' 1947 Town Hall Concert The first tune is Cornet Chop Suey. The concert consisted of a lot of tunes Louis did with his Hot Fives and Sevens from the 1920's.You'll hear what was to become Bop. Diz stated about Louis:"He created our language"

It’s curious how humor is an important factor in both artists’ music. The solos are fantastic.
Probably the two most influential jazz musicians to ever play a trumpet.
Miles davis.
@lyric-music He was influential on the music, but these two changed the way the trumpet was to be played.
Don't forget the great trumpet & singing of Roy'LittleJazz' Eldridge !! 🎺🎙
@@danielcruz8347 Love Roy!! He was the bridge between the 2 and Dizzy's idol.
@@davisc1926 👍😎
the two greatest trumpet players to ever live making magic together. pure genius.
Two Trumpet Greats.. it didn't get any better then that. And the awesome thing is they had fun doing it. R.I.P Gentlemen.
I know a miles davis who might disagree with you

+Dmitri Cherkasski It's a great line, but Louis often used that for a laugh - whether or not the other guy really spit.
+Barry Reitman That is correct!

Both of them are so good that they are in a zone where the only way to choose one or another is your personal taste.
Bop was created as a homage to Louis Armstrong. Dizzy is to marvelous for words
dizzy focuses more on just playing notes through the chords and enjoying his musician knowledge, while louis focuses more on creating a melody to the chords as if it were its own tune
@@nashwalker7812 > Bop was created as a homage to Louis Armstrong.
No it wasn't. 😂
@@nashwalker7812 not really but think what you like in your stupid fantasy head
Let's not forget to mention Jackie Gleason; thanks for bringing these two together.
These are arguably the two greatest American musicians ever. They are easily the two most important inovators in jazz. Without them, jazz would still be in the stone age.
Wonderful chemistry between them! Brilliant musicianship from these two giants from different eras!
I miss these guys so much. We were being spoiled and didn't even know it....🎼
What a pleasure to see two giants of jazz jamming together- this is why youtube is better than television.
There was brief tension between the two generation at one point but it's wonderful to see them together on the stage. Two very important, innovative giants of music ❤❤❤
Louis Armstrong is an antidepressant.
Thank you, Byklon. You've put into words something I've felt for years. That fact is the reason why I've been playing Pops here on RUclips this afternoon.
Love it.

Exactly, Sweatzaloatl. I'e said for over 30 years: he makes me happy
John 16 and Mr. Kevin Gillespie at KevRow University cured my depression.
For the record, Dizzy was the first to play the Zelda chest-openning theme 2:48
Much of the Zelda songs were based on Jazz. Just listen to the great fairy fountain, its based off a jazz scale
@@ivang.668 which one?
@@ivang.668 and zeldas lullaby comes from a plant music album
Sheer genius! Two masters of their craft sharing the same stage just jamming for fun. Nothing this side of the century comes close! God bless satchmo & dizzy x
Ah, happy Bebop trumpeting meets, early New Orleans trumpeting.
GOD BLESS!!! TWO GIANTS in the SAME ROOM!! WOW
so very beautiful. a rare gem to see two people this good playing together.

We need people like Dizzy and Satchmo in the music industry today.
If you happen to know of anyone like them, that plays today, please let me know.
Wynton Marsalis
Arturo Sandoval. He was one of Dizzy’s close friends and an amazing trumpet player.
Jon Faddis. He was Dizzy's lead trumpet player.
Byron Stripling, too
Wycliffe gordon
Friggin awesome show by both men. Both I admire. Thanks for sharing.
I have no interest in ever meeting the 43 people who, for some reason, dislike this wonderful clip. It warms my heart every time I watch it..

It was an amazing night of beauteous music that I felt like I was barely touching the ground as I walked home that night. Wish I had seen Louis perform in concert as well.

Priceless! Two of the Greatest Trumpet Players of all time Sharing the Spotlight without professional jealousy! I dig them Cats!
Dizzy can really play, my first time watching him
What is there not to Love about this? Something in my Brain starts to groove when I listen to Bebop Jazz. One of the best anti depressants on the market. Fantastic!!
The joy, the pleasure doing what you are good at with people with a similar intent
I love this song. Especially the beginning. And that dude in the back interrupting his scatting is hilarious! Yet it adds to the richness of the song. The talent of these men are just astounding!
wow.. two jazz trumpet legends together.. what a sweet performance.. and also great singing by the pianist.. Jazz is great..
Lo guardé hace diez años en mis favoritos y aquí estoy, recordando el día que encontré esta joya. Gracias.-
I could watch this over and over and never get tired of it! These men were so amazing and so amusing! Thank you so much for posting this. :)

This is why everyone should at lest appreciate the significance of the Trumpet.
oh...
oh what the trupt is amazing
hi
hi
I had just gotten into jazz a year ago when I first watched this video.
I just came back to it, and I realize now what a gem it is.
Two amazing brothas blowing their hearts out. I love it!

Man! To have witnessed that! Greatest trumpet players to have ever lived!

fantastic, this is a wonderful video about jazz. Two the mayors legends of the history of music next to...

they're my heroes
What an absolute gem. Thanks so much for sharing.
Idc what people call legendary, THESE are what REAL LEGENDS look like 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️❤️❤️❤️
What they are wonderful!
What q fantastic cople!!! both of them FANTASTIC!
Dizzy Gillespie really killed it , hes so amazing , this would of been nice if we could get these 2 in there prime
if i could bring back any musician from the dead, dizzy is at my #1 spot, God he's so motivating to me
Pop's opening phrase!!! This is why they called him "That Rhythm Man!" Good lord... 1:35
I love this!!! Dizz and Satchmo together! Plus a brief appearance at the by Jackie Gleason.
Modern talent, for the most part, can't compare.
Well, at least not in the mainstream that most listen to now.
I love this Song!! More of our youth need to learn to appreciate this music.
Dizzy was So Incredible great . what an entertainer , and musician. Lovely Clip , with two of the greatest trumpeters ever.
That was on the Jackie Gleason Show!
brilliant, i was just listening to this song this morning, my kids love it!
Mesmerizing....real music & the only original music created in America....the instrumentation of the blues!
The best video on youtube!!!
this is amazing. they will never make music this good. this is legendary

they both came fron the outer space and already went back there ... 😢 but it was an honor to live their contemporary times under the same sun ...
“Ooooh turn that way!” Lol Pops was great and so was Diz.🙏🏽
That was brilliant! Never seen these two great musicians play together before. Great. Thanks for posting!
That's it - that's all there is. They thought about working more together, but it never happened.
One of the earliest broadcast instances of "gimme five" that I'm aware of, too.
Great stuff. We should all see more of this.
Genius. And Gleason. I bet the whole program was GENIUS+.
