WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that is simply stupendous. that last chorus is everything that the bechet/spanier chorus was and more. smokin'!!! great post
I have been looking for this clip for an age.I'm overjoyed to find it at last.For those who never saw this great little band,what can I say!This is the 'band within a band' from 'The Bechet Legacy'.Quite possibly the finest Swing Group since the great days.Only Bob can do this music the justice it deserves.Brilliant Glenn Zottola,Trumpet,Chris Flory, Guitar,and the best Swing Bass player in the business,Phil Flanigan.Beyond outstanding!!!!!
Have seen Bob Wilber many times in Florida. Would like to see fellow trumpeter Glenn Zottola who is a very underrated musician who is excellent in this clip from the Smithsonian video.
Yes the great Bob Wilber, he played a night with my band here in Hong Kong, great night, I first saw him with the World's Greatest Jazzband around 1976 in Newcastle, England, with most of the greats who are now gone, Bud Freeman, Billy Butterfield etc, great swinging clip..many thanks.
Bob is still playing fabulous stuff - soon to appear at the Naturist Foundation Jazz Festival near Swanley, Kent - 24th June

Sublime !!
Bob Wilbur est formidable. Il arrive à ré-inventer le phrasé de Bechet et rester dans l'esprit du maître. Quelle virtuosité et quel swing !!
