The more I see clips of Sonny Payne--the more awed I am at how fabulous he was!! NOBODY could drive a band and swing as hard as Sonny!!
Incredible... but that drummer!!
Thank you for sharing! 💖
Sonny Payne on drums, a great talent
@@jazzfan445 So Good!! Thank you for sharing! 💖
Thrilling to see Freddie Green chook-chook-chooking away with his marvelous rhythm guitar chords.
That stick twirl at 0:45 is SICK!!!
Great job by Basie and his orchestra as always. I like the version by the 4 trombonists in Big Friendly Jazz Orchestra
Sonny Payne could bring the heat on drums.. all star line-up, one of his best. Snooky Young and Thad Jones, heavyweights
Loved Sonny Payne and you know his Pops was Chris Columbo from Louie Jordan's outfit

Do a search. It's there, I just watched it.
can you upload the presentation of the beatles in 1964 or if not the one from 1965 please is that I have never seen it and never have😃
Look for the first appearance on Vimeo. It's been there for quite a while, though I haven't checked lately.
The Beatles are nowhere compared to these guys.
Who were the soloists? Brilliant!
Marshal Royal on alto sax, Benny Powell on trombone, Frank Wess on tenor sax.
Ornithology !
