Fantastic! Never seen this before. Great Lena. Inimitable. George and Louie played together on many, many occasions, and that's definitely George on bass. I do not recognize the drummer. I'm certain it's someone other than Louie. Great players from the great era. My guess is Alvin Stoller....I'm not sure. Wonderful to see this. Thanks for posting.
@jaschaheifetz - great comments... this was a live closed-circuit show that never aired on broadcast television. Incidentally, Louie Bellson is announced as the drummer just prior to the beginning of this clip.
She still captures me like no other! That voice...that style...that demeanor...that face...LEGEND!
