@@musimages23 Now I hear that Walter Page collapsed on his way to the studio and died from pneumonia 12 days later. So that is Eddie Jones on bass. jazzhistoryonline.com/sound-of-jazz-an-interactive-essay/ And that is Doc Cheatham soloing before Basie. Correct me if I am wrong. :)
What I love about this video is to see how even the coolest guys of their trade get serious when them are surrounded by equals. It cooks and nothing less.
Some of the best trombone you can find in this band! Most trombone players I hear have iffy tone and intonation, but these guys are spot on, even playing fast. Groovy as hell!
Remember some swinging in my bungalow in Blvd Park section of Seattle listening to College station KPLU! Music like this several hours a day and just me in my place tuning in with a dj named Juliet Santilis, I believe; back in early 90's; those were the days!
Lester Young was to play on Dickie's Dream but sadly it didn't happen,but we were blessed to get one of Lester greatest blues solos. Lester played on Billie's set.sololing on Billie's own tune" Fine and Mellow" a unbeliveable performance.
Well, as someone once told me long time ago, times change, either move with it or get left behind. Today's music isn't for us, it's for the younger generation.
Everywhere you look in this fabulous video, there's a jazz star. Who can I pick out............Jo Jones, matchless and humorous with it....ah, it's no good.......I can't pick...they're all absolutely, totally, brilliant!!
What a great session, I don't think there will ever be such a gathering of such monumental talent playing together. What a blessing to watch this band anytime I want. Wow, Wow, Wow!
Aaaaaahhhhh! So hard Swinging, great solos. Maybe the best piece of jazz ever filmed!? Maybe one of the best pieces of jazz ever!? Goosebumps everytime! It doesn't get better than that, never, ever! To sum all this up: I love it!
Doesn't get any better than this! Personnel is outstanding. Though a previous poster lists Big Un(Walter Page), in the rhythm section. It's Eddie Jones not WP
I was thinking the same thing. But New Orlean's raised musician Danny Barker was playing guitar on the Billy Holiday/ Lester Young session that I believe you're referring to. Regardless, it's some amazingly beautiful music.
Exciting big band jazz. However, I'm obviously unusual. I don't like thon thon stratospheric overblowing that Eldridge finished with. Okay, maybe it's technically demanding, but it's hardly a pleasant sound, sounding more like a whistle than a trumpet. But then, I disliked the way Duke Ellington used to get Cat Anderson to do that kind of thing in his band. I never realised that he or Gerry Mulligan played with Basie. That Basie solo about 2/3 of the way through certainly isna typical Basie style but it swings.
You have to be a trumpet player (and I am) who plays that kind of way to appreciate what it takes to play that way. That blew my mind!!! And, I have listened to many of the great trumpet players down through the years: Ferguson, Faddis, Sandoval, Marsalis, Gillespie, C. Brown, etc. I have to say that there are people who stop at nothing to criticize because they don't like something. The music called for _HOT_ and Eldridge delivered! Simple as that. Leave excellence alone!!! 🎺🎉
I know what you mean, Trevor. I play the trumpet and have for thirty years and I never liked the "Whistle Trumpet" sound. To me, it's not even musical anymore. I think a lot of trumpet players put way too much emphasis on playing high notes, like it makes you some kind of "trumpet god" or something. The lower and middle register is just as important as the high register. Those who can make the trumpet sound like a whistle will say something along the lines of "oh, you're just jealous because you can't do it". I wouldn't want to do it because then the trumpet stops being musical.

Dickie Wells after Hawk and before Berry
Not Walter Page, Eddie Jones on bass
I have this on dvd...they were just putting it down..just hitting it...love it!
You forgot to include the composer in your list of soloitsts.......Dickie Wells (tb)

Beautiful job there… And important work you’re doing.
What I love about this video is to see how even the coolest guys of their trade get serious when them are surrounded by equals. It cooks and nothing less.
Bands on fire literally! No Health and Safety concerns over effects of secondary smoking!
Smoking n cooking out the gate...not a missed anything ... Basie MONSTER on piano...Jimmy Rushing grooving off sides...DAMN!!!
I just love this original organic jazz jam ❤❤🎶🎺🎶🎺🕺🕺
That's the All-American rhythm section getting everyone's groove on!
Great Day in the Morning!! This brought tears to my eyes. If aliens ever come to Earth and ask what jazz is, I'd show them this!
Some of the best trombone you can find in this band! Most trombone players I hear have iffy tone and intonation, but these guys are spot on, even playing fast. Groovy as hell!

Wow, three of my all time favorite sax players (Webster, Mulligan and The Hawk) together. That entire band is amazing.
Lester as there too, only on Billies Blues. Hope you liked him as well.
Lester Young was to play on Dickie's Dream but sadly it didn't happen,but we were blessed to get one of Lester greatest blues solos. Lester played on Billie's set.sololing on Billie's own tune" Fine and Mellow" a unbeliveable performance.
he played on the recording tho, so we got that.
ONE HELL OF A TRUMPET SECTION!!!
Whoa. I am continuously in awe that such things even exist on RUclips for us to view. Thanks for posting!
"HOT DAMN" I wish I could have been there! Now I know what my O'l man meant when he used to say my generation didn't have any real music.
This is magic )
Everyone of these jazz daddies in this film is swingin like hell!
Vic Dickenson part is just amazing!
you cannot say that this group of musicians are not one this is priceless
Imagine A World...When the Music Mattered, before Amurrican Idull, Ryan Seacrest & the Voice...THIS IS IT...THE SOUND OF JAZZ on CBS!
Well, as someone once told me long time ago, times change, either move with it or get left behind. Today's music isn't for us, it's for the younger generation.
Roy Eldrige was not playing around. Salute to every jazzman in this video.
Lester Young's absence here is almost painful.
Só monstro, pelo amor de Deus, que maravilha. Só de poder assistir isto hoje é um privilégio fantastico. Graças a Deus que isto não se perdeu. LINDO
Beautiful!
My goodness.....
To have been in that room
Man, this is the lick... the vibe is amazing! I need a time machine!!!!
Ol boy was squeezing that Double bass!
Everywhere you look in this fabulous video, there's a jazz star. Who can I pick out............Jo Jones, matchless and humorous with it....ah, it's no good.......I can't pick...they're all absolutely, totally, brilliant!!
What a great session, I don't think there will ever be such a gathering of such monumental talent playing together. What a blessing to watch this band anytime I want. Wow, Wow, Wow!
omg that atmosphere... amazing... just look them...
Also present here were Walter Page, bass; Freddie Green, guitar and Jo Jones, drums........the greatest rhythm tro in jazz!
I think Eddie Jones replaces Walter Page on bass here
yes, Page had sadly died before the show took place but does appear on the studio recording done previous to the broadcast.
Oh yeah Dickie Wells..this is a baaaad piece..I have it on dvd..these bands use to just hit it!
Now that's how you play a trumpet!!! Roy Eldridge didn't mess around.
Free Willy indeed!!
Don't forget Emmet Berry and Joe Newman who played hell of solos here!(Maybe even more musical than Roys?
@@feinblaeser yes of course, the last 16 bars of Roys solo were just showing off.
Fantastic? No Amazing. This is so inspiring. All greats at that time in one room. Amazing.
trombone sction :) Dickie Wells solo so laid back and smooth
oh my god! they are swinging just like crazy!!! amazing video! those were the days! and look at Billie Holiday's little dance hahaha nice!
If that doesn't get your toe tapping, you just might be dead, or a square. Same thing.
Word on same thing... dead r square
Aaaaaahhhhh! So hard Swinging, great solos. Maybe the best piece of jazz ever filmed!? Maybe one of the best pieces of jazz ever!? Goosebumps everytime! It doesn't get better than that, never, ever! To sum all this up: I love it!
Go, Benny Morton, go! Fantastic solo on trombone...
one of the best videos ever
Actually the trombonist solo order is Benny Morton, Vic Dickenson, and then Dickie Wells.
Google "Greatest Jazz Films Ever" That will provide some sites where you can buy the DVDs.
Thank's for this moment.
A visual and musical feast
This is great! Thanks for taking the time, not just for sharing, but also for giving the credits.
Basie at his best!
actually, Joe Wilder is still around and even playing some!
Its so good. How or where can I get all this songs from that meeting in high quality? Any advice? Help me please.
O discurso dos instrumentos !! Aldo Berilo*, Brasilian Boy .
He was Jo Jones, Basie's regular drunner at that time
Wonderful Thanks
at 3:30, that's what I call jazz face! Dam what Jam!
Jazz raiz!!! Abraço...
Killing it!!!! Wow..
Marvellous. But now, one of the leading talents on clarinet is Martin Schmidt-Hahn. Let s hope, that he will do it this way
M A R A V I L L O S O
Amazing!!!
Doesn't get any better than this! Personnel is outstanding. Though a previous poster lists Big Un(Walter Page), in the rhythm section. It's Eddie Jones not WP
to Katie Stewart : New York 1958! A newspaper, Esquire, asked to 57 jazzmen and jazzwomen to go in a street in Harlem.
television as it should be
Fantastic!
Wow ! Thats some smokin hot keys ! ! !
Has there ever been a greater group of musicians. I admire the young Mulligan making the most of playing alongside his idols.
👍👍
Very true!
The trombonist 1st trombonist soloing is Dickie Wells. The next is Benny Morton. Man I knew Dickie. This is cool.
Que beleza!
amazing
Good god a mooka!
Thank you for adding the names, very helpful. :)
Where did you find the names of all participants of this superlative jazz document?
demais essa jam
the best.
El estilo de lo que toca al piano COUNT BASIE desde el 5:25 al 5:52 es conocido como STRIDE
this must be from the same session tat gave u billie holiday/lester young -what is it called,and is it available
I was thinking the same thing. But New Orlean's raised musician Danny Barker was playing guitar on the Billy Holiday/ Lester Young session that I believe you're referring to. Regardless, it's some amazingly beautiful music.
Holy supergroup, Batman!! Many thanks for the upload. Where is this taken from? I want the whole performance on DVD.
The session is part of a documentary film called "The Sound of Jazz" (Here in full length ruclips.net/video/OyykMHvDT88/видео.html).
BOOM!!!!!
Wow!
BILLIE!!
Do you konw when and where?
Damn shame Basie could record this group under his name and get a full album
100 per cent
I want the cigarette concession at that gig...
Awesome! AWESOME! A_WE_SO_ME!
My morning coffee
anyone know the exact year this was filmed?
Anyone know what sort of mute Dicky's playing? Looks like a straight mute with some holes poked in it.
John Miller his own creation...basically took a hammer and nail to it until he got the sound he wanted...pepperpot mute I believe he called it...
Priceless! but No credit for Gerry Mulligan
In fact he had nothing to do in Basie's band
Merci ++++++++++++++++
Trumpet at 3:20 ? Roy ?
Gregg Niceey - No Credit for Gerry Mulligan?. You're crazy - May be You're to much sunburn? Bixbix81
tootaly kilt..tootaly
