Bob Haggart & Ray Bauduc - Big Noise From Winnetka

[marcosvalenca]

They're very good. I favor Bette Midler's version though.

[erecom1]

These guys are definitely musically

[ErnieHollerhagen]

My god, this makes me ecstatic!

[WSenator1]

Update on Skiles and Henderson - Mr. Skiles passed away last week (week of May 22, 2011)  RIP.

[iox214]

These guys make it look like it's nothing. Like the'y're just breathing. They were performing, acting, while playing this amazingly. WOW

[1aprile1]

My husband will be happy listening and seeing this video on You Tube. He's favorite choice are usually Armstrong- Fitzgerald and Goodman - Krupa duets. Thanks!

[connormcj25]

Hit the bassline bitch.

[WSenator1]

I first heard this song in the 60s on TV, when a comedy team called Skiles and Henderson did it. One of them "played" drums through making drum sounds with his mouth, while the other whistled the melody, as the bass player here is. It took me about 20 years after that to find out the name of the piece, then until YouTube to hear (and see) it performed right.

[Petunia7xx]

Not only a fantastic "listen" but also a marvelous visual.

[tartanroom]

Brilliant!

[Ewiiiii]

[nellie2581]

[missfreakbutterfly]

[SlaterKelevra]

awesome bass solo!!!!!!!

[clarinet1]

"What do you call a guy who KNOCKS around with musicians?"

That's the correct version.

'Knocks' is part of the joke!

[speedy67601]

When I started learning drums 1955 ish I remember reading that a drummers job was to keep time, and the saying was, THAT A DRUMMER MUST BE FELT, BUT NOT HEARD. and I would go along with that.

[tohaveguts]

This here,is pure poetry. Just look at how these two musicians perfectly flow togheter. Both drums and bass are played skilfully and with lot of enthusiasm and soul. Amazimg what emotions human beings can build with music. Hats off!!!!

[croscrane]

It just doesn't get any better.

[kyradio]

Good stuff, enjoyed this...

[lewisldurham]

Ray is not just a drummer tho, he plays the bass to.

[MrPetepohl1]

woke up each morning at HAVANA BARACKS Borden Hants. in 1950

to this record played over the camp tanoy system.

[ptitvinch11]

thanks!!!!!! from france

[bbcisrubbish]

Ray is the most relaxed and happy drummer I have ever seen. Every movement flows so easily.

[kryptik99]

@bbcisrubbish Your right if he was anymore laid back he would be horizontal!!!

[barrtok]

the Spotify first add!

[fess04]

Melody on the drums.....Ray Bauduc......YESSIR,,,,master!!­!!

[T4NK9]

This is on the "direct gov" advert and thats when i first heard this and i am now an avid listener.

wow the goverment did something useful for once.

[Hellkattus]

[cw1310]

Great music, but the whistling I could do with out.

[Maraguzzi]

LOL "early drum n bass"

[crazyfear19]

Can some please pm me a download link of this song? Its brilliant and so catchy! :)

[karakoima]

Does anyone know which year this clip was originally filmed? Bob looks really young.

[iwamuro]

it was first recorded around 1938

so this film could be anytime between then and maybe the early 50s.

[Wolverine1925]

This may be from the 1941 movie "Let's Make Music."  Both men appeared in the film.

[merseysidestomper]

Any of you seen that uk local gov services with the dog shaped like an arrow advert that features this.

[oghabe]

Yes! i did'nt know what the song was so i had to goggle Gov Services music to find out what it was. Great song!!

[roadrocket7]

Wow. What a legend these guys are. I had read that Ray Bauduc was Spencer

Dryden's mentor, now I see why Spencer

was such a musical drummer. This is so

priceless! Thanx for posting!

[Hellkattus]

Tell me about it! It never ceases to amaze me how few drummers I meet today realize they actually have to TUNE their drums before they play 'em!!!

[BelleVue1969]

People always ask What do you call a guy who hangs around with musicians? A drummer.

Drummers forget that they are actually musicians and not there just to make a loud noise.Watch Gene Krupa and learn boys.

[WSenator1]

Correction: What you do call the life blood and soul of any excellent band/ orchestra? THE PERCUSSIONISTS! What happened to you - a percussion player embarrassed you (probably deservedly) one day? Are you jealous that you can't do what 1/20 of what a percussion player can do? Don't forget - your heart doesn't sound like a violin or a trumpet or a clarinet. IT SOUNDS LIKE A DRUM! And when that drum stops beating, boy are you in trouble!

[BelleVue1969]

Senator,I think you've just made my point from a different direction.I was trying to make a distinction between someone who beats time and

a "musician drummer"eg Krupa who embroiders and welds together all other elements.Good news is we're both on the same side.Good Luck my friend!!

[WSenator1]

Good enough, BelleVue. Take care - and keep enjoying the music - especially the percussionists!

[ajs8220]

Yeahhhh... thass SWING. Like a gate, man. Brilliant.

[mooniemoney]

How do you pronounce Bauduc? Thanks.

[raygun238]

I've always heard "buh-duke"...and, for the other poster, he was from New Orleans...cheers!

[optiguytomgmail]

that's the correct pronounciation

[SAHBfan]

Absolutely fantastic stuff!

[southernrockdrummer]

Awesome. That guy can sure grind that axe!

[roftedele]

amazing

[suburbanite104]

It's beatiful!!!!

this is a first Drum'n'bass !!

I'm listing Haggart "all star" in "Nice jazz festival" at NICE (F) in the middle age 80'

at the drum was Butch Miles

Your play this song !!!

[Faststick]

JEEEHAW! COMEDDYYY!

[madchops82]

When I was coming up and learning technique, I thought this was the coolest video. A definite influence and a tiny treasure of a vid.

[jthemump]

I just heard Ray Bauduc on a recording from 1935 with Bunny Berigan and was astonished to discover that the drummer had a funky New Orleans vibe. I need to hear more of this guy, because this clip is amazing.

[freddalp]

From which year is this film?

[ParadiddleMcFlam]

I agree. It amazes me every time I come across film of these drummers, especially when I haven't seen film of them before, to see how skilled and individualistic they were. Even the 'second and third tier' drummers were amazing.

[dschwa77]

Understand what you are saying but Ray Bauduc was one of the top drummers of his day. Buddy and Gene had him in their top 3 or 4. Jo Jones, Chick Webb, Sid Catlett the others.

[h38oward]

I'm not sure if everyone knows how the history of the tune. A big band had a gig in the town of Winnetka, but the band failed to show up except the drummer & the bassist who went there ahead. In order to stall & not lose their gig, the 2 men in this video wrote this tune in desperation on a table napkin & then performed it. By the time the band DID show up, these two had the audience totally captivated for more than an hour & it's been a favorite showpiece ever since.

[doodlkatz]

this is good but their performance on utube "bob crosby-big noise from winnetka" is longer and much better quality.... these guys were amazing

[freddalp]

I prefer this one. The crosby clip is polished in a 40-ish way. This one rocks. Check out the expression on their faces around 1.05

[VA24541]

Pure genius. The drummer on the bass.......just genius!

[TheAnav]

Ray Bauduc...wow..once again,what a touch to the drums,oh man.So relaxed,so groovy,so musical!And WHAT a song,good old Big noise...

Yeah baby!!!

What is wrong with modern drummers,they are so STIFF!Neil peart and all these rock and metal drummers..even ones i like,they are like they have no groove.They have tricks and they rely on those.They play fast,whopee.

One route is to have an gigant drumset and just hit everything is sight.Discrace in my eyes,personally.Sorry if this upsets someone.

[memphistube]

Check out another version on youtube hullabaloo/the keytones,'shauns solo in amsterdam'Fantastic!

[lewisldurham]

God I'v been waiting ages for this. great.

[joemamaram]

Ive been looking for this song, it comes out in raging bull when he sees vicki ride away with the mobsters in slow motion...great scene

[freddalp]

This is da shit. Those guys would have been Green Day or something now... brutal.

Wonder how this film was presented when it was new. No MTV in that time, or web... Maybe as a trailer for "gone with the wind"...

But it must have been a huge hit in those days. When the radio was like new...

[emerock]

pure dope!

[Mannock]

This could be the coolest performance ever filmed! The song is one baaad piece of music. Thank you so much for posting!

[madchops82]

been waiting for someone to post this

[thegreatviolistdude]

awesomeness

[Wes945]
