- Song is Blues in Hoss' Flat by the Count Basie Orchestra. This is the same version as the movie, except in STEREO-some remixing for instrument clarity and separation. It is from the 1958 "Chairman of The Board" album, and "The Errand Boy" is from 1961.
Eddie Jones - Bass
Freddie Green - Guitar
Sonny Payne - Drums
Count Basie - Piano
Joe Newman on the trumpet solo at the end.

I've watched this over and over and I don't think I'll ever get enough. His talent just amazes me. And it doesn't hurt at all that he's absolutely breathtakingly gorgeous and I really don't think he ever saw it.
We watched this in our jazz band this morning :) this is the most fantastic thing i've ever seen. and the Count Basie band... my God, they can swing hard.
Alex Skye ...Yes, they could!!! The Count Basie Orchestra WAS SWING!!!
This never fails to make me smile!
Ha ha :-)
This is crazy. The music seems to come straight out of his mouth. He was a genius !!

@jerrylewisthekid5479: Jerry Lewis had perfect timing. I mean PERFECT. There is a dance scene he did with Sheree North. I can’t remember what movie it is from but it is here on RUclips. If you watch his feet - he doesn’t miss a beat. His timing is, once again, PERFECT !
oh please -
humanity needs more people like Jerry Lewis

INTENSE.....How many times did you watch/listen to this over n over?!
i am just now lying down and watching this now. It has been a long time. I like knowing that you 'liked' this! Gracias****
THIS must be among my top favorites*
Thank you for REMINDING me!!
Thanks Meccarose*-Peace-jeff

This country has lost a comedian who is not replaceable. The most influential comedian who has ever lived. Accept it. THANK YOU Jerry for all the years of laughs and happiness.
Mantle4ever, very well said!!!! I agree 100% with you
Agreed! Anyone who doesn't recognize this for what it is, which is pure genius is just not paying attention.

Either you're all a bunch or trolls or you truly do not have the ability to see beauty and talent in simplicity. He was probably the first person on film to do what he did in this scene. I can easily picture myself seeing this for the first time and smiling then as I did now.
All the comments here were written before he died. 20th of Aug. last year. All these comments prior to mine were made while he was still alive. I write this comment in reverence of his memory and all the laughs he gave us: even though Jerry was long before my time. Thanks for the laughs Jerry. I think I saw this on a Saturday afternoon tv matinee when I was very young. He definitely had a knack for amusing most of us.
He was simply the best whether you loved him or hated him and I loved him. Nobody before him had the talent he had and nobody since him could ever hope to compete.
Jerry Lewis is masterful in this scene but lets not for get the music.Count Basie was one of the best band leaders/composers ever. This song is incredible.
Basie was indeed one of the best bandleaders ever, but he did not write or arranged that song. Frank Foster did.
The Basie tune Lewis pantomimed for "Cinderfella" was great, too, but that movie sucked except for the scenes with Basie's music.
Buddy Rich used to say when he played with Basie and his band (only in short engagements) ,"It was like eating a great meal."
Yes 👍🏼
Tune is called "Blues in Hoss Flat."
A genius is gone to pose an additional star in our sky
Ok, just exactly what is Jerry saying in the chorus?
"And you and you and me we have to . . ."
I love Jerry, not least for introducing me to Count Basie at a tender age!
I was trying to figure out the same thing.
i have watched this genius video hundreds time
Basie and Lewis = CLASSIC STUFF...BEYOND GENIUS! Case Closed
Say wants you want about him off camera. It gets no better than this. As with all artists who are such a cut above the norm, when they produce, it's unequalled. Here's a prime example of his genius. He was famous by his 20th birthday. Instead of criticism, enjoy the gift of laughter he brings us. One of the last great living legends.
@pushon2342: Everybody has their issues. He was my childhood idol and a genius. I’ll love him until the day I die. and beyond that if possible. : )
Awww me too. I loved Jerry so much. My hero.
Love it! I had a silly grin on my face the whole time I was watching it.
I came here because I saw and enjoyed the Peter Griffin (Family Guy) version and I wanted to see what the original version was like. My verdict: it's even better!
Jerry Lewis is the king of comedy. He inspired Robin Williams, Jim Carrey, and millions of other comedians in the business today. If you are a parent, introduce your kids to Jerry Lewis' movies. They NEVER get old.
Thank you!! I never knew that.
the sad part about Jerry Lewis and what gets lost in the translation is the fact that he is a brilliant guy and was a major talent. Had he not been such a prima donna and an egomaniac (and had he not treated most everyone around him like shit) throughout his career perhaps he would be viewed in a different light.
Damned right. Jim Carey was this generation's Lewis. That's not a compliment. The best thing Jerry ever did, aside from the money for the kids, was highlighting Basie. Then ruining it by DIRECTING Basie and his band with his studio band during a telethon in the 1970s. HIS studio band looked horrified.
Ace.....right on!! I introduced all 4 of my kids to Jerry's movies as they were growing up and they loved him. They STILL mimic some of his routines and behavior to this day when they get together (and it drives their mother NUTS)! ;-)
I think it helped lengthen Basie's career and popularlity, too.
As a young kid, I really enjoyed watching his movies. It started in the early 70s when one theatre was showing Jerry Lewis films and our dad would bring us with him to watch those movies and I started liking him since then. R.I.P
it just goes to show folks don’t understand certain comedy..jerry lewis was one of the best at this type of comedy ..he’s having an imaginary conference in a boardroom with the guys at the top telling em out it would be if he was their boss and miming some actual words he would be saying to them .. and all to the backing of the amazing count basie’s jazz orchestra.. fantastic ..
Such a perfectionist. People found him difficult to work with because of this, but ohhhh what a final product.
Okay, i've never a 'Jerry Lewis comedy fanatic'; but THIS...is uniquely fabulous!*
Someone I have ALWAYS wanted to meet.
I’ve watched this and all of Jerry Lewis’ movies over and over for decades. I’ve watched this and the typewriter scene so many times that I know his every move and facial expression before he does it.
Now that is time wasted.
He was INCREDIBLE!!!
Jerry loved music. He used it well in his films.
Comedy at it's very best. I remember watching this when I was 8 years old. Great stuff!!!
HILARIOUS. NEVER GET TIRED OF SEEING THIS.
Excellent comedic bit here brilliantly performed by a true comedic genius named Jerry Lewis.
Man wasn’t he special?! How does he even do this? Genius is how he does it!! This man is effortlessly talented! This is our last great comedian, you better believe that. I’ll always love him so much.
Vielen Dank ! Ich liebe Bigband - hier ist es die legendäre Count Basie Band. Sicher gibt es andere, innovativere Bigbands, (z. B. Gil Evans) aber Basie bleibt für mich der Inbegriff des Swing,wie man auch hier in der gut bearbeiteten Stereoversion hört. .. ... und dann noch der geniale Jerry Lewis! So wie er hier agiert, zeigt er, dass er den "Swing" begriffen
hat. Hinreißend ! RIP, lieber Jerry !
I keep coming back to this for that very cool Basie sound.
Jerry Lewis- Brilliant comic.
Can't get enough of this clip.
Jerry would have been a great
jazz musician if he would have
decided to go in that direction.
His rendition of We got a world
that swings in the movie, The
Nutty Professor, not an easy song.
He was such a multitalented artist! A genius!
The greatest thing Jerry ever did. Genius!
What timing. Jerry started singing at age 6 with his parents in the Catskills, so that's where that rhythmic precision comes from.
very clever comic! brilliant guy and actor.
As many things as Jerry Lewis (may he live to be 100) will be remembered for, THIS little gem may be his enduring masterpiece.
Jerry never ceased to pay homage to the Count. Incredible!
Nice to see one of my Pops compositions getting Kudos:)
Rest in Peace, Jerry Lewis (1926 - 2017) Your comic genius will be missed...
i am ashamed to admit i didn't really know the comic geniality of jerry lewis until now
Brilliant! Jerry Lewis wrote and Directed this film. He was a swing lover and counted Bill Basie and Buddy Rich as friends. So for him to ask Bill to use this and pantomime the skit was a no brainer.
I love the musical interlude from 00:00 to about 00:21. Magnificent.
Twas the most unique part of it. Was perfect for this scene and can't be found on any other recorded version.
Same here. I love it !
Song is Blues in Hoss Flat by the Count Basie Orchestra.
one of my favourite Jerry Lewis gems but luckily one of so many and spot on synchronisation with big band as Jerry gives his audience a dressing down
Absolutely love this. Comedy genius!
Saw the movie today this is absolutely the best scene, the swimming pool comes secomd.
Rest in peace Jerry. You will be missed. Don't stop making them smile with Dino!
What a great classic!
Playing this in my jazz band at school. As the piano player in it all, I just love this song. Great tempo, great beat, & overall, a great song.
We play next week, along with "One O Clock Jump," "Malaguena," & "Perdido" alos great songs :)
Absolutely brilliant
I'm 51 yrs old and I love this man's work, films, contributions, Jerry Lewis Tellathon, this man was and always will be to me a very funny individual with style, and class. This man can make me laugh and that's a rare thing. Great talent, Great man.
Jerry Lewis is the man!!
Love it Jerry is great and music is Awesome
Classic!! RIP Jerry you will not be forgotten, Thank you for the laughs.
Jerry Lewis was....just special! Simple.
SPECTACULAR!
I love at the end when he's about to keep going but the music stops and he looks almost embarrassed for a second
The greatest comedian that ever lived.
Jerry at his best.
It was routines like this that help set him aside from everyone else. As a child I loved Jerry Lewis.
Totally loved/Jerry Lewis
His first billing in NY clubs was Jerry Lewis Sotto Voce
(quiet voice). He performed these types of skits on stage.
Guys, what do you expect, this is Jerry Lewis afterall, so of course it is hilarious to see him act without saying any word and instead he follows the instruments that are played, making this one of his best and most funniest scenes of all time.
He was a Genius..
Remember my Mother in law and me...once saw the movie The Nutty Professor on TV in her House at the countryside. Many years ago..
We laught almost the whole time.
Often so loud that the Second teeth of my Mother in law fell out of her mouth...What a crazy funny time....
Torill: That’s hilarious 😂
Absolute comedic genius.
I've always liked this...great stuff. It shows Jerry's creative genius. The Basie Band is top shelf, most of these guys played on "Sinatra Live at The Sands" a few years later.
The Count Basie Orchestra is the real star here.
They also were in all the Frank Sinatra songs they propped up.
This is great, I'm sharing, thanks.
Nicely synchronised. It's a shame that (except for a few blockbusters) Hollywood lost interest in releasing films with stereophonic soundtracks between 1960 and 1977.
CB was a great musician. This piece is wonderful. Right up there with The Theme from Route 66 by Nelson Riddle, and Peter Gunn by Henry Mancini.
This scene deserves an award. Everyone after is just trying to mimic this glories scene
Ein schöner Mann mit wunderschönen Händen - schon als junges Mädchen habe ich für Jerry Lewis geschwärmt...
Lovely edit - thanks!
Pure genius! This shows how good of an actor Jerry Lewis was.
The best Comic of all Times !
Monsieur Jerry Lewis, un artiste prodigieux, exceptionnel et intemporel ❤️
So much talent here in America is taken for granted. I'm glad this wasn't the case for Jerry Lewis in France. We always knew the French have great taste when it comes to culture and the arts. They weren't wrong here.
Same for people such as Mickey Baker. France really knew his greatness, compared to who america thought was "great".
xlent.........love him or hate him...........he was talented, grew up watching him, loved ladies man an nutty proffesor just found this gem yesterday!!!
My absolute fav in cinematic history!
I!Agree With You About This Video 📹 🤣 😂 😍 😳 ❤!Classic Jerry Lewis 👌 😀 😄 🙌 PHYSICALY!
Jerry Lewis was a great movie star !
INCREDIBLY ACCURATELY ORIGINAL & PERFECT!!!
Nobody but Count Basie could have been the background music for this. One thing for sure -- Jerry Lewis had good taste and wanted nothing but the best.
i do this all the time at school
@bachstradtrumpet Basie always won those "Battle Of The Bands" with Ellington, etc. He & his guys were always the best. They called that tempo "in the pocket". Recorded in NY. The acoustics of a big room, & everybody playing off each other lead to far greater recordings & quality compared to the overproduced recordings done today - many times with different parts being done at different times & places. There's a lot of late 50's early 60's stereo recordings that are amazing in pop, r&b & jazz.
@dubdaze68 - As mentioned in the video description above, this version as used in the movie is from the Count Basie "Chaiman Of The Board" album. The recording session was done in 1958. This scene uses just the last half of the song. Searching google for "Count Basie" + "Chairman Of The Board" will give you many ways to buy or download this exact song in stereo (which was new in '58). I replace mono versions with stereo HQ versions of various artists in a few of the videos on this channel.
For more than 50 years, I wanted to know the title of this song. Thank you.
Blues in Hoss’ Flat
@@liamosburn9824 She spent time to read my description, so she knew that already.
@@mutleybird funny when people don’t get the joke

My favourite band,and although never a great fan of Mr Lewis he is brilliant in this clip.
Sin duda , Profesor chiflado , una de las obras maestras de la comedia gringa ...
This is so cool!
This bit is total comedy Gold and it never gets old
Beautiful *--*
I remember my music teacher in my high school band talking about how amazing the band can articulate the each other to make it sound like he's talking. And the mute on the trumpet sounds so good when he fake laughs
Every time I watch this - it’s like the first time. 😂
Muito 🤩 legal gratidão 😅 Jerry Lewis 😅 grande 💞 comédia 😮😅😅
