Damn, Count Basie makes everyone sound like they are gods from outer space! Forrest really rocks here, showing the fine line between early 50's swing, R&B, and rock. I consider this to be where rock and roll starts, leading from Louis Jordan and then on to the Memphis sound.
I have the video, Last of the Blue Devils...could watch that tape over and over and over and never get bored. All giants of their times and still untouchable today. THIS IS MUSIC..and Count Basie is just too cool....oh man this is pure heaven!!!
Am ascultat inmai multe iterpretări NIGHT TRAIN .Cea originala mi se pare cea mai tare ,desi toate sunt exceptionale ! Mii de mulțumesc !La multi ani ,2016 !
I met Jimmy Forrest when I heard the Basie's Big Band at the old Prom Ballroom in Saint Paul Minnesota, now torn down. It was 16 and it was 1976. My father had taken us to see the Basis Band at Orchestra Hall in Minneapolis maybe a year earlier. Forrest was very friendly.
Great stuff. Remember this from Last of the Blue Devils on TV about 15 years ago - terrific to see it again. Don't suppose the uploader has got Jumping at the Woodside too? Many thanks for the upload anyway
Sultry, big band blues supreme. And nobody channeled gritty sax better than Jimmy Forrest. He got some of the inspiration from his days with Duke Ellington, where part of "Night Train" originated ruclips.net/video/HFDgkvSyb1A/видео.html I wonder if there are any video clips of Jimmy's solo on Ellington's "Deep South Suite". Regardless, this clip is a treasure. Thanks for posting it.
georg wilhelm It's from an old film 'The Last of The Blue Devils'. Big Joe Turner is in it, Jay McShann and others. Done in a club long gone in Kansas City.

Played to perfection in they way the arrangement was intended. First class!!
Such a slow nasty sound. Just perfect. No rushing perfection.
Superb. Sonny Liston inspiration song when he was training.

I love Freddie Greene's face, haha. He looks like he's waiting at the line at the DMV or something, hahaha.

Saw this Basie lineup live in 1975, I was an 18 year old college freshman, haven't been the same since😎😁🎷

This song was played in Back To The Future, only a little faster.
a little FASTER? At least use the proper term, Up-Tempo.
This song was played in Back To The Future, only not swing.
@@DrJekyll38 wow, what your problem?
Sonny Liston.....
'The Last Of The Blue Devils'
Where's that punk, Calvin Klein?
音が揺れてる😏これもswing じゃ❗😄
Damn , he didn't !
Oh, no yeah, he didn't.
I like Jimmy's song Bag of Dreams better
The killer version of this is done by Louis Prima and Sam Butera. Way more sexy and powerful than this version. Look it up and judge for yourself.
