Bobby Hackett Sextet - Swing That Music

[MrMKH2010]

5 Thumbs Down from 5 people with shit in their ears from listening to (c)rap.

[MrNibiru10]

Thanks to the swingers back than, they brought this to the generations of all . :)

[lando108201]

AAAMMMAAAZZZIIINNGGG!!!!

[centralscrutinizer66]

To say they probably knew each other would be an understatement. They often played on the same recordings according to online records with a wide variety of artists at the time. That would have been cool to see a exchange of licks. I never had the opportunity to meet him, being my grandfathers brother. He died a mysterious death when I was an infant.

[blackgassbass]

Do good music without killing himself or dressing up like a flower pot.

[76trombones007]

This is what jazz, or swing, or dixieland or whatever you want to label it is all about!

You're right, it isn't Justin Beiber, or Lady Gaga. It's just great music, and it's being lost. Only old people seem to like and remember. Hard to get ampified guitars out of the kids hands and get them to play cornet, trombone, oh well.

[marshall3able]

jawa jim was me dads name. mine ts alan. my sons name is james, d. twohig. just like my fathers.james domnin twohig.,wat do that tell you about my intro too jazz.hope my son james feel the same as i do today.at my age he 3 me 43..my dad is my tree.....

[joshthegeek]

Why no bass solo? Poor bassist. :(

[gooberspal]

The audio track is a semi-tone sharp, unfortunately. The band played the tune in Bb concert, but we are hearing it in B. You can most easily confirm this by watching the piano solo. When I first heard this, I thought "Man, these guys are brave! B Major. Wow!!"

[vova47]

@gooberspal You are right about the pitch.However the band played the tune in B flat only up to drum solo after which they modulated to D flat. Small but a significant detail if one wants to talk about tonalities.

[jamestfan]

If they had a Tuba in there, the world would blow up, because of It's awesomeness

[109Chrome109]

Something is wrong with my clarinet. It is getting me no where near as much vagina as that man in the glasses is getting.

[jamestfan]

What a Song!

[antiloqax]

It seems I can't stop taping my foot.

[richmeister1]

How could ANYONE "dislike" this video? Those four people need their heads examined or a good enema!

[edwardconway27]

Nice music and drum solo!

[sk8rguy4life1123]

im gonna SWING 4 ppl out of the window

[TrabalRipoll]

4 dislikes!!! Hahahaha.....deaf people supose

[centralscrutinizer66]

Thats my uncle Morey Feld on drums. Unfortunately I never had the chance to meet him, he passed away when I was very young. He was living in Colorado when he died while fighting a fire at his home. Whats cool is I play drums too, totally different kind of music, but I like to think that maybe Im a heir to his abilities to a small measure...

[slidomix69]

Smooth bone Urbie

[catdaddy270]

John Waters plays trumpet?

[450984]

Great Music, all real! No computerized chinese plastic ,imitation electric gizmos! It took these guy's years to learn their craft. True artists!

[YuRfreakingGuitar]

nice drums solo!!!!

[CigaretteScars]

Holy shit, i was like.... that guy looks weird... but it's not my decade so what do i know... and then the drummer totally started freakin out and i was like: "HOLY SHIT MY MIND STUCK ON THE CEILING!"

[Shagrath626]

[ForeverAnime101]

[lazybabychicken]

[T100050]

[sirjuandabicho]

[slantyrock]

[definitelydebonaird]

[darkslider802]

[brufbrufbruf]

screw the drum solo,

Did you HEAR that AMAZING FLUTE SOLO!?!

[XTREMEPOWERRUSH]

COOL DRUM BREAK....

[fghn907]

The 3 people who disliked this didn't survive the drum solo.

[jollywood999]

Clarinet shred FTW!

[TheDuckseason]

[HJWins]

oh my god! and how is there 3 dislikes?

[XtraXtraodinaire]

oh man that was sexy

[SMWhit3out]

What ever happened to mid song drum solos?!?!?!

[SparrowFreak]

Makes me want to visit New Orleans. I've never been there. :(

[extasisNOW]

YYEEEEAAAAAAAAAA!!! 00:24 at 03:10 Que talento y que forma de darle vida a la batería.

[FatherTimeST1300]

Fantastic. Thank you for posting.

[flykick1231]

i play the mellophone... but that dude just whopped my ass by far..... i would love to get lessons from him.

[MrDizzySpinda]

a time were music wasn't ruined by rappers ugly pop idols and Justin Bieber. every time i here that name i have to punch something.

[EliT3snipa]

DRRRUMMER was damn fine at playing.

[TomMagic92]

Drummer is fantastic!

[LikidySplitz]

<3 the hard panning

[minimalrox]

I would like to live in this years

[SparrowFreak]

Just magical. I fricking love jazz music. So many talented musicians in one amazing band. This is toe-tappin' fun. AH I love it so much!

[acedaface954]

oooooooo peep that cuh-rae-zee scene daddy-o. B-)

[ThatsMrMoronToYou]

This was jazz's last gasp before rock and roll took over the mainstream media. My Pap told me that when he got out of the navy everything had changed in the music world. Scores of musicians couldn't find gigs. There wasn't Branson, MO back then.

[ThatsMrMoronToYou]

So many drummers these days use their left hands palms down, like cavemen beating on logs.

[poposisa]

DAMN DRMMER :O

[sarelle500gr]

omg

[Alicecbrown]

Was Bobby Hackett ever in a movie? I love this inspired music, when playing in a band required talent, skill and hours of practice, as well as the ability to play with others.

What discipline!!! Gone with the morality that made us great, and brought us through wWII before cascading into corruption.

[SuperYouGerT]

lordy i love it! 

[yojoe1221]

it is the freebird of drums!

[VideoGamingGirl]

Hard to believe they're all human. Sounds like freakin' angels~ ^_^

Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, Jonas Brothers, and all you other bands and singers? Eat your heart out. This here is real skill, heart, and soul.

[oOoNinjaMushroomoOo]

Dude THAT DRUMMER IS SICK

[dirtyflask]

Awesome! What year is this?

[fuckinghostile81]

FANTASTICA!!!!!!!!

[MrRDub2]

This is a bit tame

[diekill123]

the music of today is utter bullshit.

the music of the past teabagged today's. everyone of them.

[richmeister1]

Dave McKenna You Da Man!

[Blagirof]

Geweldige muziek, eveneens de jonge clarinetist Bob Wilber, die ook zij aan zij stond met Sidney Bechet.

[ewhackett]

NO --- it's not named "dixieland that music" -- you fool!!!

[AllKillA]

Lol, this looks funny...

[thenorm05]

that really IS a brain melting drum solo.

[Izzy94bg]

man this is anoying.....Kiding this is i donno super extra sega mega!

[iPCGamers]

niceee

[mtd6886]

those are two very very close styles of music, easy to mistake

[pjacobo]

this is not swing, it's dixieland jazz

[psychonauttracks]

i had never really listened to swing music on my own free will before watching this video, and surprisingly, i LOVE it! i'm more into electronic music, so i really didn't expect to like it.

[Kohltonc]

You should check out this movie called Swing Kids, its really good its about WW2 and the Nazis try to outlaw anything un-german which includes swing music and dancing, so the youth who are into it set up basically dance halls and dance until the nazis step into arrest them.

[claptonfan1000000]

@psychonauttracks Like a roach, jazz can never be killed! :)

[ExEurasian]

holy shit

[crtune]

Wonderful, all the way around. Bob Wilbur-I was lucky enough to work with him. Nice man. He was leading a "Benny Goodman Orchestra" recreation on board the QE II ship several years ago. The music was different than I thought it would be (more intricate, tricky, lots of syncopation in unexpected places). Wilbur was very musically solid both in playing and in leading the group. A pleasure to work with.

[goodgod12321]

urbie green!

[virus1964]

MY BRAIN JUST BLEW!!!!that drum solo was perfect!!!

[slimagenda]

si si siiiiiiiii bellissima!

[DeadX06]

holy shit.....is the first thing that i said after my jaw dropped due to that awesome drum solo im just starting to get into swing and this is already a favorite anyone else have recommendations?

[NineInchNails88]

archie shaw or benny goodman

[ElDoucho]

Even though it's from a rap group, check out Swing Set by Jurassic 5. It's what got me into swing music.

[TheAbel1231]

wow.... awesome

[herbbruce]

Urbie, the King.

[MayoFail]

Holy shit! awesome drum solo!

[DjDangerGirl01]

holy shit, look at that drum solo! O.O

It's really unhumanly good!

Fantastic, excellent, don't know how you wanna call it.

but it's fuckin amazing!!

(hope my english is okay.)

[Kelhibbert]

That drum solo is SWEEEET!

[bmxcanada26]

Love this! :D

[cenotosa1]

The drummer's drummer and trombonist's trombonist together.  Fabulous!

[ThatDudeBo]

HOLY FUCKING TITS! That Drum solo, i mean, C'mon, that's like unhumanly good. So freaking sweet! I mainly listen to rock and often hear people discuss who the greatest drummer was, and Kieth moon and Niel Pert is always mentioned, but that solo right there, ORGASMIC, oh dear lord...

[williamgoblue]

Thanks Morey Feld the drummer is my great uncle. Buddy Rich used to call him the Drummers Drummer

[NathanEADY]

o_o that was cool

[genefufreddy]

I can never get enough of Bobby's "perfect" playing.

[nikkissober1218]

they make that music up on the spot

[bosconaut]

Maravilha....

[Spores1]

Damn this is some sweet stuff!

Unfortunately I've never had the chance to see one of "the greats"

[wwjoeyd]

back when music was.... music...

and damn good

[Spores1]

@wwjoeyd: Have you ordered your coffin yet?

[wwjoeyd]

i dont get it

[HorrorFlickMixerMike]

This isn't twitter. '@' LMAO

[ElDoucho]

You're right. It's not Twitter. It's the internet. People have been using '@' to direct their comments at someone in particular LONG before Twitter was even a thought in the creator's head.

[StarwarsHalofreak]

@wwjoeyd

Whatever happened to this good ol music? Alot of the crap they put out makes me wanna rip my eardrums out

[StarwarsHalofreak]

@StarwarsHalofreak

I mean, the crap they put out today

[TheMaggotChicken]

I live that genre wars break out on almost ANY kind of music :P But I am Loiving that drummer :D

[clone232]

Thanks to everyone who replied to my question, it's amazing how much music has changed over the years!

[AlisaAppsDotCom]

Thats my great uncle Morey Feld on the drums

[TheMaggotChicken]

No shit? That's quite a connection! (if it's true) He's quite the drummer!

[hollything]

They're so skilled! Ah!

[MaxC17]

= ) makes me smile and dance!

[tigerjon666]

that was incredible

[sussexcounty]

Thanks for posting. Bobby was the best!

[shoegazer666]

look at that clarinet go!

[Barbabietola00]

Yeaaaahhh!!!

[Barbabietola00]

Bob Wilber is the best

[ieatbunnies3]

Daaang! listen to urbie green's solo! I cant believe people really thought that jazz trombonists couldnt keep up with the fast paced tempos of bebop and hard bop. Urbie Green definitely proves that trombone is an instrument with all the capabilities of valved instruments, and more....

[Oliiiverr]

that clarinet solo was fuckin brilliant

[clone232]

Is this considered jazz? Because I have heard other jazz songs that sound nothing like this.

[ieatbunnies3]

I know what you mean, This is actually in the hey day of jazz, when it was most popular, believe it or not, this style is now referred to as Dixieland Jazz. Jazz now adays has eveolved and changed very much, no one can say its any better or any worse then it used to, but you really cant call this particular song anything other then amazing, these are all virtuoso musicians in their prime playing music they love

[daytenmillion]

Yes, this is definitely considered true jazz...

...it is Traditional Jazz, also known as "Dixieland Jazz" or "Hot Jazz". This was the music of New Orleans, Memphis, Kansas City and St. Louis around 1920. The sound then went up the river to Chicago where it was very popular and grew into "Big Band Jazz". After WWII, small jazz groups called "combos" became popular playing "Cool Jazz" or "Bebop". This was the time when jazz began to take on some of the sounds and styles heard in modern jazz.

[SSdraken]

you missed out swing, which happened before WW2 :)

[daytenmillion]

Well, actually, Swing is what I meant by Big Band Jazz. The big jazz bands were popular during the Swing Era. None could swing better than Tommy Dorsey.

[LizDickey08]

This is such a good song to swing dance to. Loooohuuuv it!

[harcondon]

Agree with the Urbie Green comment above, in America.

[BuckshotLaFunke]

Dave McKenna comps in a boppish way.

[CosmoTrouble90]

i really like the SWING !!!

[oros123456]

Too bad a generation will never see this...

[AvianFang]

Swing Heil!

[l2bbenjamin]

l0l

[BuckshotLaFunke]

Nothing Heil, never.

[GUSTLIK22]

Ale wymiatają! Eleganio! :-D

[boybobby111]

muy bueno

[Why2bless]

Awsome music.

[losdilla]

Music is universal people. Just enjoy the music.

[calledgreg92]

Samcookefanatic95 :

Thank God, there are some people, who don't speak english. Why do you think, that your language is the best, and no one can speak somthing different? Do you know other languages? You should. Learn you idiot and stop writing shit like that.

Sorry, my english is bad, but i'm working on it.

[B1o2o3m4e5r6a7n8g9]

WOW

[danbrklynboy]

wow

[Phattlippz]

Is this video a 1/2 step sharp?

[tenkurlyja]

Jeeeeeeeeeeeeee its so relaxing and so swingy

[Artanis333]

FANTASTIC TROMBONE SOLO!!!!

[asatro66]

Wonderful music in hot tempo !

I like cornet and flughorn so here nice to hear cornet.

[tbonewizard]

fABuLoUs......................­..

[NilsTorbenR]

Undskyld - det står der jo- det gjorde det bare ikke på den foregående...

[mkwalaabdik]

In addition to his knowledge of chords/changes, I was told he had a terrific sense of pitch because he played violin as well.

[450984]

Bobby had the sweetest cornet I ever heard!

His solos were always soulful & melodic.

[pablobone]

vaya soy admirador de Urbie Green este excelente trombonista aqui con grandes interpretes del jazz

[StormaLorm]

Urbie is just killin it.

[glennmiller2005]

nice solos all around!

[kingoliver45]

man, bobby sure could swing that music!!!

[macree01]

Killer solo by Urbie!

[valvetrom]

totally agree, just saw him in just friends.

years later

[JZ63]

Thanks so much! Bobby is the supreme melodist, one of my all time favorites. Also great to see the young Bob Wilber.

[JoshuaRVincent]

Great to see Bobby Hackett and Dave McKenna, both house guests of my family when I was a kid. This brings back great memories!

[duncanjazz]

This is great. Bobby Hackett is for me one of the best, if not the best jazz trumpet/cornet player. A lot of his work is my Desert Island Disc stuff... eg "I guess Ill have to change my plan" from the mid 50's with jack Teagarden and all the wonderful stuff he did with Dave McKenna in the early 70's. A true one off whose knowledge chords, interesting way he gets around a tune and wonderful warm phrasing will never be done by anyone else.

[mkwalaabdik]

You ever heard of Lou Colombo. He's another Cape great and is often compared to Bobby Hackett. Listen to Colombo's 1990 recording "I Remember Bobby" which also features Dave McKenna and Gray Sargent (Tony Bennett's guitarist since 1997).

[duncanjazz]

I have heard the name. Thanks Ill look out for that one. I play jazz clarinet (semi pro) and a bit of piano too (just for my own enjoyment)and I always find it fascinating the way Bobby Hackett improvises around chords... and dont get me started on Dave McKenna!! Simply wonderful

[toddehill]

His chordal knowledge was so fine because he was a fine guitarist as well - a dear friend of mine grew up playing in bands with him around Providence....

[mkwalaabdik]

My grandfather is a pianist on the Cape. He used to work with Bobby a lot. He was also a music teacher and had Ernie as a student.

[mfey22]

I'm Bobby's granddaughter, Michelle. It's great to see videos like this!

[mfey22]

I'm Bobby's granddaughter, Michelle. It's great to see videos like this!

[TheMurphyFamily]

OMG!! Im so happy to see this I know knew bobby and Dave.. and well Im not sure his Grandaughter knows he is on youtube lol. She will now! Thank you!I loved him andDave was a cool Cat hehehe

[hankscorpio2000]

These guys are smokin'! Thanks for posting!  MORE!!!!

[jazzartist12]

Hasving worked with Bobby Hacket at one time I reqally enjoyed this video. It is pure Hackett.

[euphfellowship]

Haha I love it! Great stuff! Only downside is aside from Urbie on the t-bone, they paint a pretty nerdy looking picture for musicians...
