Louis Armstrong - Stompin' At The Savoy - 1959

[snowkaffir]

What a drummer - this is a man that loves his profession!

[catandpiddle]

just brilliant!



[housedubs1]

Danny Barcelona was already giggin with Trummy by the time he got out of high school! He's amazing!

[vicfirth5b1]

Fab musicians great drumming



[JerseyReefer]

This is definitely the greatest most inspirational video for me to play more drums I've ever seen so far! A billion thumbs up! Pure beauty with every hit xD

[smp12]

Danny Barcelona is cool! :D

[cidcampeador1952]

BRAVISSIMO ! ! ! !!

[menator14]

@buddyrichgenekrupa19 Dave Brubeck isn't a drummer, he was a pianist. The drummer in this video is the great Danny Barcelona.

[housedubs1]

@menator14 That and Danny is Filipino Hawaiian! lol

[buddyrichgenekrupa19]

Is that Dave brubeck on drums?

[johnggillespie]

don"t says that word thanks and have a good day.

[MRswiftkow]

that shit got wild HAHA. man beating those drums UP.

[Hevster]

I really love this video, not just for the really hot drum solo but also for the reactions of Satch and the rest of the band. It's really great watching true greats like Armstrong who appreciate having real talent playing with them. He encourages them to shine and it is obvious from his joking around he is loving every minute of it. No need for ego or hype here, these guys are simply brilliant. A pure joy to watch.

[troismith1]

Calm cool jammin swagg there, thas how it's done

[latude]

Amazing solo! He was one swinging dude.

[ferguson1410]

Drummer is from Hawaii :)

[Db3st0794]

@ferguson1410 pretty sure he's filipino.

[kjallesoft]

The attitude makes it all.

You have it or you don't...in between your ears.

Simple as that ,really.

[mrFriisman]

thumbs up for the drum solo!

[u47tube]

Gave me goose chills...such greatness brought me to tears (to think of the trash performed today).

[Drummernorthernsoul5]

Just love Danny's solo in this, loving the Ludwig

[mellilore]

3ply Ludwigs + Supra. Period

[CZeke]

Can you believe that Danny Barcelona performance? Good God, the man never tired!

[osc4short]

I love the drummer when he does the joint triplets on the hihat with the piano at like 1:20 then just how happy he looks with his fill just before the solo :) Louis is fantastic 

[allegator1985]

барабанные перерывы необыкновенно звучат))

[kevinastraw]

As usual the drum solo is too long - i.e. longer than one bar!

[MrMaxevans]

i love how when the drummer branches off from the rhythm, he still keeps the basic beat to follow back onto

[kajitameiko]

Thank you for your response. After sending message to you, I noticed the announcement by Louis. He mentioned about Danny Barcelona. Anyway, what a great solo it is!!

[KA1ZR]

Really good solos, definitely brightens you up does this type of jazz. Just love seeing musicians loving how they're playing, it's gotta be the height of musicianship.

[P3T3PRIC3]

That made my day

[catman351]

Jackie Chan is sure great at the drums too!

[Heartbreakhotel112]

The drummer sounds like Gene Krupa.

[57dogsbody]

BEAT THAT Chad, Ha Ha.Oh I dont think so!

[kaktusas86]

He was without doubt the best musician to walk the earth - he played god like music, loved life and children.

[codygx123]

1:37 Get it started!

[codygx123]

Wow that was good for 1959!! that Asian Loves His F***Ing Job

[wisesatyr72]

[yungez5]

[james20030]

[seerskater]

haha that drummer loves his job, man...

[dientitas]

Barcelona ?

[morphis3]

WOW great drum solo's! But your gonna be hot to play with Louis. I noticed the matched grip sneaked in right at the end. That was pretty cool for 1959. Nice Luddy kit too.

[celou83500]

Ce génial batteur communique sa formidable joie de jouer; Il donne le moral. Bravo

[TSR2XR220]

One of the happiest drummers I've ever seen!

WHAT a band!!!!!!

[Alptraumification]

[amd77j]

@Alptraumification Amen.

[ab0ad]

Danny is working the hardest and hardly breaking a sweat, SWEET

[RREYNOLDS65]

Man, I wish my name was Peanuts Hucko!

[sonsofthesportsguy]

Johnny and the Mothers are playing "Stompin' at the Savoy" in Vermont tonight.

[baneknek26]

Great Danny!!!

[Too0masz]

When I listen Armstrong, I always realize how my life is beautiful! I love listening to music, which is playing by the happiest people on the world like Armstrong, with so many power! Ps. Sorry about my english :p I hope that you understand me, even if I did some mistakes (I'm sure i did). Greetings from Poland!

[steveknows62]

@Too0masz

If you can dig jazz, the English doesn't matter.

[kajitameiko]

@Too0masz

Thank you for sharing such a beautiful video. If you know the name of that drummer, please let me know.

[Too0masz]

@kajitameiko, I didn't share it, Astrotype did :p Anyway, name of that drummer is Danny Barcelona :)

[mrhipsterdoofus]

@Too0masz

You are very eloquent.

[tillmanwiseman]

@Too0masz

No, you didn't make any mistakes at all Too0masz. You said it exactly right!

[ntsullivan]

Danny's drum solo was amazing!

[tigerofthewoods]

the drummers face is so great when he's playing

[dwayneshakiba]

[northernfirepower]

[Lightia]

[Lightia]

[DancingMonkey12]

Whenever I hear Louis it just makes me smile.

[tsi2568]

Man...everyone is' smilin'! Such great music, everybody is happy, it's so awesome! Not comparable to much of today's music.

[Dethclocker]

So that's how Jim Henson came up with Animal .

[music1831]

@DethclockerYou did very well with the English.

[andreypondrey10]

[Andressguillen]

I think found the music my children are gonna remembering listening to. If I ever have children...

[stevebul]

Great drumming and soloing, very progressive esspecially since it was 1959. It would be good even today.

[dairydave96]

I wanna go back way back when, when people had some class and everything was black and white and party it up!

[GuitarandDraw]

@josiah556 He was a Filipino-American born in Waipahu a community of sugar cane plantation families East of Honolulu, Hawaii.

[josiah566]

was Danny Barcelona an asian?

[chargerfighter1]

I love this song. I love the bass. Because I kick ass with it. Playing jazz. Because I love jazz.

[andrheha]

Happy B-day Louis Armstrong

[scottisacow]

This is from a time when drums weren't weapons.

[aweitzer1]

what arrangement is this?

[chargerfighter1]

@aweitzer1

This is the original.

[aweitzer1]

@chargerfighter1 ahh cool. do you know is the original is still available to buy, cos all the versions ive manage to fid are piano transcriptions...

[aweitzer1]

great....where can I find this arrangement?

[johnhofi]

this man had what seemed to be the rosetta stone of race relations...he had cool and sophisticated and unheard of talent as well as organisational ability....but it still wasn'nt enough...what does it take ??? Madison Ave and more Mad Ave...and then some...beware Mad Ave////

[questionful]

oooo man!!! this is good shit

[tifandjeffie]

Anyone know who this drummer is? He's fantastic :-) As are all the musicians, obviously, but wow, his sticks were flying, and not just for a few seconds, either!!! :-)

[hankaaron1961]

@tifandjeffie Danny Barcelona is the drummer. Do a YouTube search on "Louis Armstrong Jazz on a Summer's Day". Danny's playing on that clip is exceptional- as is the whole film "Jazz on a Summer's Day".

[JazznStufff]

music trancends race XP

[josiah566]

@JazznStufff Louis Armstrong is black. HIs clarinetist is white. His drummer is asian. Yeah, I'd say so.

[mrshojoji]

Thank you for posting this! How can I get myself a copy of this concert?

[mikejg85]

great tune; i'd only ever heard the ella fitzgerald interpretation of this song. this is amazing... and that drummer - what talent!

[SuperDockman]

wat a drummer i mean damn!! 3:53..this dude was jamin

[kudopoint1]

wowee watched it twice in a row it's that good

[sweet139west]

Amazing:) Now days, u won't fine any drummers like that :/

[MonkeyMaarten]

@sweet139west Yes you would

[rayoloco5000]

1959-2010 , 51 años han pasado y buen baterista

[iluvmylucky]

The drummer is amazing!

[CamerOneiric]

Playing this tonight(no vocals), but it will be great.

[TheGinger48]

Louis Armstrong is sinply the best trumpet player ever!

[JimmyDeLocke]

The REAL DEAL -- These guys could play!

[lizamul]

Yeah, awesome stuff. These guys could really play. Check out drummer Gene Krupa playing this same song (also with Benny Goodman I think) - one of the most amazing drummers ever. Oh, and gorgeous!

[Hoopermazing]

@lizamul - Isn't that the dude who played that crazy drum into to 'Sing Sing Sing?"

[lizamul]

@Hoopermazing You're right - I got mixed up, It is Sing Sing Sing with the Benny Goodman orchestra where Gene Krupa does the most amazing drumming. Hadn't heard of Danny Barcelona before now but he is something else!! I love all these guys - listened to them in my parents' record collection as a youngster and been hooked ever since!

[mesoprano]

@Hoopermazing nope. that's Gene Krupa

[MattieSongbird]

Yo, is that drummer Asian? Who is that?

[violatione]

@MattieSongbird I KNOW right?!!!!!

[Hoopermazing]

@MattieSongbird - Yes. It's Danny Barçelona. He was a Pinoy.

[MattieSongbird]

@Hoopermazing, I kinda had a feeling he was a brother. Thanks man!

[mesoprano]

@MattieSongbird it's from Hawaii

[WTFPhoneCalls]

I LOVE THIS!!! but what is the version that was played on I love lucy thats my favorite

[ViejoVizcacha]

I LUV IT!@!!@#@$%

1'34" : "everybody out to take a siesta!"

Ya now?! I taught Danny Barcelona to play the drums!

Anyways,I'm not here for any recognition whatsoever, but just to highlitght how fun were those years, with or without the KKK.(Anyways, I don't thing they would have dared to noose up Louis, would you?

Ain't that amusing? Let me know it.

[karameldreem]

Another great gem from the city of New Orleans...............

[beasterthanyou87]

epic drumming, dat was insanely awsome!

[Leedysgladstones]

Man so many good drumers go unrecognized

[sagat4]

True. I have searched here for clips of Danny Barcelona to no avail.. so sad

[NickCheduoRebel]

that was some insane drumming! like wow!

[rlneesam]

Great drumming. A master in command of all 10 plus instruments he has to play - and read the music for.

[ptokmak]

"Swing" is a type of jazz and also a quality of jazz, some would say "the" quality of jazz. More or less, "swing" is the syncopation of the beat that jazz has. It's more felt than defined.

[urundulblue]

would this be called jazz rather then swing music? I really have a hard time differentiating the two at times. I love it all though :)

[ipingault]

Love this music real musicians and that drummer out of this world. Gene Kruper eat your heart out Thanks for posting this x

[dumbhead3]

I like how they just walk off stage when Danny started his solo XD That made me laugh.

[beatboxyy]

they kind of look like the mafia the people who are behind him(kind of)

[fromdirttodustpro1]

Damn nice drum solo whoever the drummer was.

[DajaWaja]

drummers' surname is Barcelona!!! heehhehe

[KarissGuilt]

playing this at my band's fist comp this weekend.

wish me luck!!!

[trufiend138]

i guess it would be to much black if they let louie bring HIS band....christ...

[rudeass]

THIS IS LOUIE'S ENSEMBLE YOU RETARD

[questionful]

AAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA

[swinginkatz]

Man, Thats swingin.

[GreenRiceInc]

I love this song! And when he sang this as a duet with Ella Fiztgerald (sorry if I spelled that wrong)... Man, that was amazing! I love them ^^

[neices14]

Baby it aint the spellin its the tellin.

[lalalats]

Bravo Danny!!!!

[sergioleone100]

Amazing

[ozzydt]

He was famtastic

[Paolaaa90]

This is my idol ;D I want play like him someday !!! I play in trumpet only few years so I must learn a lot of important things.... But wish me good luck ;D pzdr ;p

[BuddyKatt]

the trombonist was from savannah?

[morganjefford]

It,s a shame,It,s hard to find talent in abundunce that you could back then.

[tallandhandsome29]

I came acroos this purely by accident but what a treat! Now added to my favourites.  Wonderful drumming.

[anwcmm]

yeah!!!! ;ove that beat

[MuscleCarMan68]

DANNY BARCELONA!! BRILLIANT!

[Alfonsina923]

Universal, precioso. 50 años y cada vez le apreciamos más. Gracias por compartir el video.

[marinalism]

AMAZING i didnt knew this!

[TeamKnockoutChino]

:[

5 decades later it's almost a chore for kids who claim "music" is there lives to listen to something even half as great as this unless it's sampled.

[SuperDockman]

@TeamKnockoutChino dats tru but not for all kids.honestly if u dont llike to listen to people like louis or duke u dont no wat music is. and this is comin frm a kid

[HeadlerUitHolland]

@TeamKnockoutChino Not me though. I'm 17 now and I HATE covers. I listen to '50 / '60 jazz all the time when I'm doing my homework =)

[tifandjeffie]

Anyone know who this drummer is? He's fantastic :-) When Louis said "Danny," was that the clarinetist or the drummer? All the musicians, obviously, are incredible! But wow, those sticks were flying, and not just for a few seconds, either!!! :-)

[TheSuperSax]

@TeamKnockoutChino This is almost true, but I would insert a "most" between "for" and "kids." I am 17 and my friends and I have loved listening to this sort of music-and playing it-for years. Although there are few of us, there is still hope!

[Monsgoose]

Great song.

[sailin1934]

danny was a great drummer, does anyone have ant video clips of louis's all-stars with big sid catlett on drums?

[sailin1934]

danny was a fantastic drummer, is there any video of the all-stars with big sid catlett on drums.hopefully someonecan help.

[phyllodendron]

Danny sure did have fun whilst playing, just like Big Sid Catlett. That they both had phenomenal skills and talent to burn - and could keep time - was an enormous boost to Louis' bands, big or small.

[jwilkboy]

I Love Louis Armstrong and his band. I wish they could have stayed together.

[PROUDTOBEFAT]

excellent work by all of them, i especially had my eye on that young fellow danny barcelona, great drummer.

[sgdeals]

Danny Barcelona is one of my favorite drummers. It's his attitude. He always looked like he was having a ball whether he was cutting loose or just thumping out the time keeping.

[jmmcclarren]

@sgdeals He was like that in real life and a real sweet guy too.

[ecrsbelem]

Simplesmente genial!

[sagat4]

great stuff; thanks for sharing. i have searched for danny barcelona on youtube but no one's uploaded anything on him yet. please someone do:)

[driedbanana]

drummers sick

[Pikmar27]

jazz clarinet owns

[dwergmuis]

The guy on the clarinet looks like Peanuts Hucko to me!

[karlkotz]

yes, 100 % , this is Hucko!!

[Pikmar27]

duh. it says it in the description. PEANUTS!!!!!!!

[tbcass]

That was a tough one seeing he's listed as such in the credits in the upper right.

Louis Armstrong - trumpet

Trummy Young - trombone

Peanuts Hucko - clarinet

Billy Kyle - piano

Mort Herbert - bass

Danny Barcelona - drums

[nani81174]

i was talking about danny barcelona not louie armstrong !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TropicMystics]

I'm going to be cool like everyone else and say that Louie Armstrong is my dad, even though I'm white and there's no genetic linkage between us whatsoever.

[nani81174]

actually that is my grandpa try reading obituaries he died of cancer apr 1 of this year thanks alot !!!!!!!!!! for your sympathy

[esfuenza]

Is someone writing about Danny? His life story, anecdotes from the band and travels, etc? The fact that you state he died of cancer is not available anywhere else that I can find. Thank you. You were blessed with him, and we are also with this great music!

[nani81174]

thats my papa he's best drummer in the world he is self taught !!!!!!!!!! whoever added this thank you very much barcelona family and lim family
