Benny Goodman with Zoot Sims - Bugle Call Rag & St. Louis Blues in Holland 1959

[zootcarey]

I saw Zoot Sims with Benny Goodman in the early sixties, just after they returned from touring Russia (which was quite a big deal then). The concert was at Disneyland of all places. SO GOOD> thanks very much for posting this!

[busessuck1]

Why are there adverts on youtube now, they're trying their best to make me stop using this site...

also I've made the obsevation that these old videos are only watched by 6 year olds because old people don't even know they're on here

[movie3king]

Well... I'm 15 years, and I LOVE this kind of music. Jazz!

[kingorthy]

Awesome chops, what a great band!

[choroBR]

I Love Metais and Big Bands.

[scotchrks]

Good 'ol Zoot!! Playin' that baritone sax!!

[AgamemnonPadar]

I always dream to have lived during the 30s to 70s period, BUT when i think about to go to the dentist i prefere defenitely 2010.

[daantjebariton]

toch best vet

[Solis1112]

i would have loved being born back in the 30s - 60s. this music is way better than todays new music

[ABrandsma]

Every time has its advantages and disadvantages, but in the quality of music I totally agree. Nowadays we are listening to computer sounds backing a vocalist, who's voice has been edited 2 times every bar.

I prefer human beings making music.

One point , in the 30's they had no youtube!

[lolipopcon]

It would have been hard for me to discover them without this god sent internet. ironic

I would have been singing Big Rock Candy Mountains for all I knew.

@ABrandsma

I am actually trying to bring this music back by preforming famous old songs like "Stormy Weather" and "Is you is or is you ain't my baby". I don't think its working but I still love going up on stage and singing these songs so I can hear my self later.

[bsd300d]

@ABrandsma You're right. No you tube, no video games, no TV. Just think how much time these kids had to practice and become talented. Todays kids will have nothing to show for their childhood except stretch marks and diabetes.

[coenijn]

@Solis1112 depends on what you really like, I like jazz & blues, but also rock & house/electronic.

I think it is just the time & place you listen a certain song or genre

[HHCAcheerleader]

agreed

[thismindofmine]

@Solis1112 The advantage to today is you have the internet. So, any music you want, you can have. So...I'm glad I was born in this time. But I wish I was born in the future...if there is one.

[menza1man]

ahh, good point. im not too familiar with how close everything is over in that neck of the woods. he also played for stan kenton for a little while, but quit because the orchestrations were too thick. i never realized that he played with that many big names until i started reading his biography, nor did i know he was voted the #1 tenor man for 10 years in a row by Downbeat Magazine. only to be edged out by Coltrane in '61.

[ABrandsma]

Oh sure, he was a marvelous player. He simply played lead (alto part) on his tenor while with Woody Herman. Had so much control that nobody bothered.

[menza1man]

well it really looks like him before he got fatter. and he played with Benny in the 40s. so why wouldnt he go see his old bandleader.

[ABrandsma]

That's true and he also played alongside Zoot Sims in Woody Herman's most famous sax section. What I was thinking is that Stockholm & Blokker are not just around the corner. But maybe he was touring himself anyway.

[menza1man]

is that stan getz in the audience? i know he lived close to stockholm in the late 50's

[menza1man]

at about 1:37

[ABrandsma]

I think that's unlikely, but who knows?

[raesims]

Along with the late great Zoot Sims!! Front row center.

[geojame]

Lovely melody and temperament rhytm. I love it!

[enfielddnepr]

geweldig materiaal. Bedankt voor het delen van deze historische herrie met de latere generaties!

[NewMexicoSunset]

Too cool. Back when America (we) kicked ass!

[redsox1006]

We still can, people just don't want us to.

[THClove]

lol

es verdad

[musictranscription]

I can get the notes just by ear

[ABrandsma]

My wife can do the same.

[Tech502]

It's called perfect pitch, good job, your one of the lucky few who don't have to work quite as hard as the rest of us.

[kabuki792]

Waanzinnig tof filmpje!!!! staat weer in de fav's. Bedankt.

Door deze man ben ik blijven toeteren

op mijn "dropstaaf"

[WrestlerFRK09]

THIS IS NOT ST. LOUIS BLUES

[ABrandsma]

Please read the liner notes better. The first part is the final of the arrangement of St. Louis blues as Benny used to play it during that era. Second part is Bugle Call Rag.

[acivilwarjunkie]

Where has this great jazz gone? Before my generation, but still great!

[gregaizi]

Where has this jazz gone? Where has American culture has gone?! It all gone to stupidity of 'American Idol' to ape-like subculture

[CathEuph]

you're completely right!

[hoot6theyre]

man is out of his mind

[FLUIR5]

Sensacional Vídeo.

[StanUtrecht]

Mijn geboortejaar......ik heb onvoorstelbaar Benny Goodman muziek op cd !!! Vooral het jaren 30 werk met Gene krupa

[cdaae92]

Amazing.

I wish people appreciated jazz like they used to.

[Morahman7vnNo2]

Too Short.

[ABrandsma]

You are right, but there is no more film left in the historical archieves here. They only saved what was actually used to broadcast in the news. Not the entire concert.

A pitty indeed.

[Morahman7vnNo2]

I Wish People Today Spook As Much Jazz As They Used To.

[ABrandsma]

Is there any connection to this video?

[ilbofilms]

Een aantal jaren later zat ik ook in Blokker op die zelfde groente kistjes naar L. Armstrong te kijken. Dit is een fantastische video. Zoot Sims herken ik op tenor en ik denk Arvell Shaw op bass. Wat kleedden we ons toen nog netjes aan voor zoiets.

[vidimah]

cool te gek ********stars
