Woody Allen affirms his Freudian totality

[simplerachel11]

just..sweet.

[Period8Productions]

what piece is he playing?

[Elkwoman46]

Doesn't his/their music just make you happy? I love it.

[MrKsound]

Not to name names ... I'd like to see Justin Bieber (or any other "star" for that matter) play the clarinet today! Those days are gone ... ?

[grandadpoppyable]

The Banjo in a Jazz band is akin to the Theorbo in a Baroque Ensemble, a simple and sweet underlying bass or treble line Continuo.

[yourdate4tonight]

woody allen the head of the jewish church. filthy jews tryin to rule the world

[h9ooo]

<-- me being impressed

[rockroll1]

I just love this man.

[batrama310]

Woody using a woodwind...what do you know?!

[reach2prasanna]

"My Mother is white and my Father is black, and vice-versa" LEGENDDDD

[OtherJC]

The band:

Bobby Rosengarden, of course; Jimmy Morrealle, trumpet; Bill Watrous, trombone; George Duvivier, bass; Bernie Leighton, piano; Tommy Kay, banjo

[SeanGoesP0P]

Channeling the Marx Bros no?

[Cristovk]

Woody = Genio

[stormus3105]

Ya know this never bores me, as a young clarinet player i always thought Artie Shaw was the god of clarinet, just as Benny Goodman is the Kind, but this guy is definably the Duke of clarinet

[ePhilosopher9]

wish i has seen this before OBAMA's all-killing oil spill in the gulf of Louisiana in 2102

[CHC4669]

@ePhilosopher9 Jesus Christ get a fucking life. What does President Obama have to do with your sorry ass watching an old clip of Dick Cavet. Why didn't you dive 5000 ft. and shut off the pipe line asshole since you know everything. Your problem with Obama has nothing to do with the pipe line and everything to do with him being Black. Get over it Bigot. You can end your misery by sticking a 357 in your damn mouth and pulling the fucking trigger. Then you won't have to worry about Obama. Do IT.

[AntiGravDisclosure]

[Rawego]

regarding his playing... well, he's no Jack Benny :))

[uragano1000]

[uffx3]

His voice here is better than the one he''s got in his videos. Is that the N.Y. pronounce? I mean the way he pronunces because and some other details.

[roorybacky]

oh god :-D

[XYZandTime]

He's great! I'd heard he played, but I didn't know what to expect.

[DoctorHello]

There are many angry people posting on here. What's that matter with you people?! Relax!

[Vin2241]

I wish the boom guys would get the goddamn mics out of picture every time they come back from commercial. I love seeing this.

[smurphus7010]

this is just fantastic.

[rushgeddylee]

[rushgeddylee]

don't be a smart ass. i meant what year this episode was aired.

[naughtysauce]

1971

[Wodey25]

Thanks for the post. Great enjoyment.

[iChristiMarie]

Awesome!!!

This is a great vid!!!

I love him!!

[spartyman7]

You know the one thing I don't get-

Woody seems so relaxed; I mean he genuinely seemed to enjoy being in front of an audience, and he's such a great guest. I wonder why he just gave up this part of his life. The standup, the interviews, basically the tv appearances. I know the stock answer...he "outgrew" it, wanted to be taken more seriously as a filmaker, etc. It's just a shame he couldn't mix the two. The last time I saw him on tv doing jokes was at the Oscars about 6 years ago; He killed!

[fringefries]

I wish he would host the oscars. It might be interesting.

[noizenconfusion]

Id pay a million bucks to watch that show.

[lilt33]

i absolutely agree with you.

[spartyman7]

Yeah, it's a shame, but it's just the Woodman being the Woodman...lol. We'll have to settle for the movies and occasional writings. Have you seen Vicky Christine Barcelona yet? I was going to see it later today...

[greenjoker713]

Listening to Woody Allen play jazz brightens up my day. I love how he plays the clarinet with such passion and a sense of humor.

[flandersfails]

the mulatto line is from "Sleeper" i think.

[tbarton00]

You're right

[bryansaccount]

the cats got jazz

[ralfrecords]

I love him

[mjufpn]

[monkeypuppet]

[ZabuToneMusic]

[alfons00p]

[Nabokov50]

[mwines29349]

ha. I love when somebody whistles when he takes his jacket off =)

[particleplease]

[enossified]

[Neurodelica]

the Art of liking no one else but Woody

[aggiedavis]

[comedyandicecream]

[MarkHarwood]

Say what you will about Allen, the man plays awesomely.

[wybckmchn]

At 1:09 Woody says that there's all sort of "Jizz" all over his Clarinet. Guess he greases it up real nice before playing it....

[AlexisMontan]

What a beautiful wit this man has!!!! Love him!!!!Thank you for the video!!!!!

[acidtones1]

I knew he could play. He plays damn good!

[ctobias]

playing the harmonica ... ah dam woody you kill me.

[szlack]

[Ubermensch18]

Where did he Affirm his Freudian Totality?

[jesusdemtx]

[SH1TGOOSE]

i didn't know that he could play that instrument! he's really good.

[sfasuguy]

[eliko]

I thinks its "Wining boy blues"

Probably by Jelly Roll Morton

[lachlanmoir]

"Moods of the clarinet" lol!

[dunlaoghaire]

hate to say it, but... I met him. He 's a projector! love him. and jung.

[sarantakis]

Fantastic. Love the bowed double bass. Who is that? Anyone know?

[jaschaheifetz]

That's George Duvivier on bass. He was a true master.

[sarantakis]

Thanks a lot. I hear you're pretty handy with the bow yourself!

[munkybrain]

I'll say, if his name really is Jascha Heifetz lol

[mjmanning123]

@munkybrain Jascha Heifetz played the violin.

No one will know the difference

[Rigoletto80]

Woody Allen è troppo un grande.

[bombkamp]

priceless

[simlmx]

yeah stephen fry except woody allen is also a brilliant writer/director!

[starshaped68]

He uses a lot of jokes here that are in Sleeper.

[reichmarshall]

Dare I say, this may be the band that provided the soundtrack for Sleeper!

[terrycream]

[mcplump]

[bullettoothburrows]

[mcplump]

[bullettoothburrows]

Hahah. What you going to do about it keyboard warrior? Haha. Noticed you say 'Get a Life' alot, haha, me thinks the lady doth protest too much! You obviously don't have one if you know not of Stephen Fry's greatness.

[stu9191]

Fuck Stephen Fry.

[bullettoothburrows]

why so?

[stu9191]

Because Stephen Fry ruined my life in '94.

[bullettoothburrows]

How?

[bullettoothburrows]

You gotta be shittin me, really? Wow, i would like to see the version with you, is it still aorund?

[stu9191]

Maybe, somewhere, in the BBC archives. I haven't seen it since the editing suite.

[bullettoothburrows]

wow. what you're real name?

[stu9191]

Roland Fry.

[uffx3]

The video is so enjoyable and your conversation adds up to it :) made me smile, thank you :)

[terrycream]

I'm afraid I have to agree with much of what bullettoothetc says. Fry and Allen are both amazing humans (though Fry has not, to my knowledge, got married to one of his kids)...

[satinhooks]

zing!

[terrycream]

Zing indeed Miss Hooks!

[rodneyj42]

love the clarinet stuff

[as1482]
