Basie's band knew their charts and it didn't matter what Jerry Lewis did up there as a clown. I'm sure Basie was simply doing his part and putting up with Lewis's antics to help raise money for the telethon.
Watched the Show every year from about 1981-2010 Missed 1991 and 1992 because I was living on a island off the coast of Italy. Anyhow I also donated every year to MDA. But that all stopped after MDA let themselves get dictated to by a small group of u ungrateful Jerk s who bitched for years about how Jerry Lewis portrayed them on the show every year and they got MDA to Run Lewis off the Air after 2010.65+years of service and they kicked him to the curb like he was A bum. An Outrage and I never sent MDA another penny
Love Jerry Lewis and I always will but watching him Conduct The Count Basie orchestra like he knew what he was doing was embarrassing. Anyone could just wave their arms and call lt Conducting
TWO LEGENDS TOGETHER 💕😊
Legend Duffy Jackson at the drums ❤
Amazing drumming from Mr Jackson! Tons of energy. RIP Duffy Jackson
Absolutely awesome!
You have a young John Clayton on the bass--fun to see him
Also a lnsult to Count Basie watching a amateur lead his orchestra like he knew what he was doing

Shut up, shit heads. I love it when Jerry conducts.
Great
Formidable
He's imitating Bernstein for sure (Lewis).
SOunds a little DisJointed, might just be the microphone placement. Great tune by the all-time great, the COUNT.

It’s not embarrassing. It’s classic entertainment. Shut up
Jerry had no equal
