Now, this is how you party!!!❤❤❤❤😊 Only the baby boomers know about this kind of Rockin R&B. Red Prysock also plays this kind of music. Check him out when you can. Thanks Gary for the post!
FANTASTIC! I'd known Big Jay from just one record, his wonderful blues song, "There's Something on Your Mind" from 1957. (Many artists did excellent covers, such as Etta James and BB King.) Only today did I learn that he's a tenor sax great, and the vocals on "Something" were by Little Sonny Warner. RUclips is such a wonderful creation. Thanks for posting this. Long live this great music.
I saw a documentary that had him as one of the featured guys, and it blew my mind what a bad bad man he was, and how nobody I knew had ever really heard of him. You can't tell me this guy isn't worth the price of admission anywhere he shows -- wonder if he has an understudy that will keep it going! Thanks for sharing!
@googuse In England us spazzy white people clap on the 2 and 4, The 1 and 4 thing seems to be curiously European, as does clapping with apparantly no concern for the timing of the tune! But as long as they're enjoying it! ;)
On the Oldies show "A Long,Long Time Ago" I hear another Big Jay McNeely instrumental, from 1953...That one is called "3-D". Do you have the stuio recording (or even live) on of that?
looks like the last days of Detroit Golden age, when white people could still enjoy black music with no second thoughts about going back home before dark...
Other than tone, I see nothing special here. Playing the same riffs and same note over and over does not make one a saxophone genius. It's a fun thing but not on the level of a Sonny Rollins or a John Coltrane. Even Jr. Walker is ahead of this honking party.

If a song could raise the dead, this would be the one!!!!!!

@@kymlawrencemonroe5244 Hello
Okay HE was really ahead of his time! I just saw an awesome photo of him performing in 1951, and the audience of mostly white kids was going crazy!

Same, that was a great photo and this is some great music.
+hubbardsax one yeah! I saw it on ebaumsworld. Cheers. Love the music.

Man, the clapping on the 1 is seriously hurting my brain.
what a combo two complete sax nutters ha ha they are great full of personality and life.....they bring the saxophone to life and meaning
Mr. Big Jay Is My Idol Forever!! Thanks!
Swing, Big Jay, SWING!
Clapping - the thing you do when you want to dance but you know you shouldn't/can't.
I like his music a lot. Greetings from The Netherlands.

American Music!
Leaves me breathless Gary,..fabulous stuff
WONDERFUL!! Talent at play!!
McNeely, Big Mama Thornton, Koko Taylor, Hank Ballard were the first to rock n' roll, long before Alan Freed coined the phrase.
Love that beet..
Stunning!
Wow what a feelin'
just love these cats
still lovin
brillant!
This is amazing man,...
Oh wow! Thanks for sharing these Big Jay clips.
great !
You and Daryl Taylor was swinging for real.
Much Love,
Nina
Geweldig
5:32 yeeeah!!! clapping on 2 and 4 !!! "The Specials" !
What a beautiful voice I love this song my. How are you Isabel Llanas ?
Man ! that kat can still blow !
😎
Excelent
Сool!
this video is old as fuck ! Old but gold
Very cool & soulful. I wonder what kind of my Jay has on his horn?
Oh yeah.
THIS SOME FUNKY SHIT YOU FEEL ME
what showman
how did so many "beat deaf" people end up in the same room?
+randi thistle haha agreed!
They were given so many cues as to when to begin clapping and they ignored every single one. Kind of amazing when you think about it.
Musicianship may not be for everyone, but clapping on 2 and 4 is really a crucial life skill that should be taught in school
me too :D
The 1953 photo brought me here

Hey, my roommate is on piano!!
Fun fact: at one point he quit the music industry and became a letter carrier.
So many clapping on 1 & 3!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAH
looooooooooooooooooooooooooooocoooooo !
I apologize for my race and our lack of feeling time.
The great Gene Vincent also recorded this song!!!
On the Oldies show "A Long,Long Time Ago" I
hear another Big Jay McNeely instrumental,
from 1953...That one is called "3-D".
Do you have the stuio recording (or even
live) on of that?
What year is this performance?
I'm guessing early 80s.
This is much better jazz than later on what happened?
This is R&B
big jay get right in ur face n let u kno what jump n jive is.
in what year was this recorded (the video)?
looks like the last days of Detroit Golden age, when white people could still enjoy black music with no second thoughts about going back home before dark...
The woman at 2:00 with the arms crossed defensively looks like she doesn't know whether to shit or go blind while her hubby does the dork act.
Wow - this rocks, even with the spazzy white people clapping on the 1 and 3.
Awesome gig. White folks clapping off beat. LOL!
Thanks white people. Don't clap if you can't keep time. Listen to the snare please. That should help.
What's that got to do with anything. Such a stupid thing to say! The main thing must be people are enjoying the music!
Woman @ 1:25...no rhythm
Other than tone, I see nothing special here. Playing the same riffs and same note over and over does not make one a saxophone genius. It's a fun thing but not on the level of a Sonny Rollins or a John Coltrane. Even Jr. Walker is ahead of this honking party.
I think you're looking for jazz. This is rock and roll.
jazz was once about dancing and having fun too
Man ! that kat can still blow !
