I left my baby

[tangojules]

Super !!! "Mister five by five" était vraiment GRAND. Ici, on a droit à deux special guests : Roy "Little Jazz" Eldridge et Coleman Hawkins. Wahoo !!!

[thefrenchy2993]

Does anyone know where I can order the score to this?

[Exilatus]

@thefrenchy2993 Amazon.

[Exilatus]

My favorite saxophonist is definitly Lester Young, but I must admit that Ben Webster is damn good in the Sound of Jazz show.

[strangersname]

This video justifies youtube's entire existence. Here it is-- a slice of heaven. Gemurin, you've blessed us all...

[gastelda]

@strangersname

Right on! I listen to Basie almost every morning! I'm glad I've lived to see videos like this being available for the world to see!

[stan2211stan]

Ben Webster does the first Tenor break and Coleman Hawkins does the second.

This very well may have been the same week that the famous photo "A Great Day In Harlem" was taken. I believe that just about everybody in this number is in that photo.

Lester Young and Billie Holliday were both on this same show too.

I left my baby Standing in the backdoor crying Yes I left my baby Standing in the backdoor crying She said son you’ve got a home As long as I’ve got mine When I leave you baby Count the days I’m gone When I leave you baby Count the days I’m gone Where there ain’t no love There ain’t no getting along are these lyrics correct?

[MrAudioProducer]

Wow!!! Coleman Hawkins on the tenor sax! The double gift for me!

[Ixprmetw]

Its so good. How or where can I get all this songs from that meeting in high quality? Any advice? Help me please.

[95Galante]

@Ixprmetw Ejazzlines maybe or Amazon - its called the Sound of Jazz

[naizret]

@Ixprmetw Go to Amazon.com and look for 'The Sound of Jazz' -- the 1957 CBS broadcast from which this was taken. There are CD and DVD versions.

[realmadridvideos]

woooooooow !!!

[edithvanher]

Merveilleux!

[gregoryburrows]

1,000 stories in Jimmy's eyes. A pack of true masters. No winners, but Roy Eldridge's solo took the prize for me.

[vanea99]

I listened this piece of brilliance 20 times, and I don't yet understand how is possible how many giants can sing so fabulous all together.

[kVarnishd]

where can i get this performance??? is there a studio version?? was it on any album? just want it is as a mp3. its just too good!!!

[gorthomas]

Truely classic!! It's time for a modern variation of this old blues style to emerge

[smcamel]

Sweeeet! Blues & big band! now that's what's up! .... I'll have a 1/2 pint of Remy with a water & ice setup .... (& stay for the next set) ....

[bakedsushi]

My grandad told me they called him mr 5x5 He was awesome this song especially

[robertmbruno]

Yea man , that's Mr. "Five By Five" . I would like to find him singing one more time ,"Tricks Ain't Walkin' No Mo", with the double entendres wrinkling off his suit and blues .

[JASRIVELS]

Merci c'est trop beau.

[33Bin]

I think, this is awesome

[kennyrocksable]

This comes from a special that aired on CBS in 1957 called 'The Sound of Jazz', which i finally got 2 see when KTWU aired it in 1988. It doesn't get any better (or bluer) than this!

[bigbearleeds]

What a line-up .. Basie's delicate piano, Ben Webster's smokey sax and Jimmy's dark brown voice. Pour me another bourbon!

[amd1588]

great Black music

[nicmart]

It is always a particular pleasure to hear Mr. Jimmy Rushing.

[blaaskat]

thank you ..this is it

[ssilje07]

I love his voice , and may i say - im 15 years old and most of the time i listen to punk or rock , but this is just awesome!

[innermanifesto]

Look the way he smile 2:00-2:10

[ShortySongs]

[shutyourmothidiot]

Doesn't get any better than this right here

[Alire1]

love it. thank you.

[battenwood]

Has any singer ever enjoyed what he was doing as much as Jimmy Rushing? He seems like he was having a great time whenever he perfomed.

[sayyes2bull]

what's he got in that pipe? i want some.

[imaonarseal]

Hats off to the Count! You don't get such great individual performers to stick together without personality and flair, t'was a mighty lineup he had for years!

[happyinnanaimo]

Beautiful video...thanks for posting!

[MarkGauvreau]

They called him Mr. 5 by 5 because he was 5 feet by 5 feet. Awesome!!

[shantidude]

So damn good! You can tell how much those guys love playing that music. And I gotta say, Papa Jo Jones has the best posture of any drummer you will ever see. So dignified, yet so totally joyous!

[primobaritono]

Jimmy Rushing is THE MAN !!!

[demented20]

I'd just like to mention the great Freddie Green strumming the rhythm like nobody's business

[jimmysrushing]

Sorry. Thanks to gemurin, not gemunn.

[jimmysrushing]

What a joyful experience to see and hear these wonderful musicians and Jimmy R. just doin' his thing right along with them. Never was, never will be another drummer like Joe Jones. Thanks to gemunn. Wish I could hear more.

[arim24]

best video ever *****!Jimmy rushing ^_^

[tnhband]

this is the badest video i have ever seen. Makes all my hair stand up everytime i hear and see it.

[blessedtoextream]

Is that Gerry Mulligan in the second Sax Chair?

[jazzpsy]

Yes, on bari

[blessedtoextream]

many thanks.

blessedtoextream

[battenwood]

Blessedtoextream, Gerry was definitely a part of this amazing session. Check out Billie Holiday's "Fine and Mellow" from the same show and hear him do a fine baritone sax solo, along with Lester Young, Coleman Hawkins and several other jazz masters.

[gonernegro]

beautiful!

[demented20]

My grandmother used to talk to me about Jimmy Rushing, Count Basie and other artists, but it wasn't until well after she passed away that I understood what she was talking about. Well I understand now.

[Trumpetplayer60076]

I know it is Ben on tenor, and Roy on flugel(!), then The Bean on tenor, but is that Vic Dickenson on trombone? What a MARVELOUS video. I have this recording on record and what a true pleasure to now see the artists in action. Thank you so very much for posting! Excellent!!!

[Amileoj]

That's Dicky Wells on trombone. Vic Dickerson has the solo on Fine and Mellow, from the same TV date, also available on You Tube.

[sunnysaxman]

Wow. What a stellar lineup!!! Thanks for posting. AWESOME!!!

[tonygg60]

Doesn't get any better than this!

[eliko]

Man ! Roy eldrige on flugelhorn?!

thats something you dont see everyday.great solos!

[panda103]

musica muy agusto... de la que guta pa dibujar o inspirarse... muy al estilo de los 101 dalmatas....

[motownjo]

Wow, Jimmy Rushing, Blues Shouter Extraordinaire, with the Count Basie Orchestra....PURE GENIUS....thank you for posting

[gemurin]
