[TheMacca1965]

The greatest quartet of all time!

[rerr2000]

Love em all. I"m only 40 but I'm at the age where I can finally really appreciate this sweet sounding music. Such good stuff so cool and smooth

[ritade45]

They are still HOT!!!!!! I could listen to these guys all day. Everytime I hear them I want to get up and dance. I'm 57 and they were all a bit before my time but I used to go to the Metropole in NYC to hear Krupa (I was too young to go inside!!) They were all awesome!!!

[BrunoJazzmanLeicht]

[julesmonendrumface]

amazing this is realley swinging

on the benny goodman way !!

[panzerschnott]

And Duvivier played bass on the B. G. in Hi-Fi album, recorded Nov. 1954. He really shined (along with Charlie Shavers)on Get Happy

[Koalkracker]

I haven't read all the posts for this particular video but for every-one's information ... that's George B. Duvivier on the bass ... a highly in demand bass player when he was alive. He was born in New York City 8/17/20 and died in 1985. He played with Coleman Hawkins, Lucky Millinder, was in the army, then with Jimmy Lunceford, Sy Oliver, Nellie Lutcher ... toured with Terry Gibbs, Don Redman, Bud Powell, Pearl Bailey, Billy Eckstine and Lina Horne. Freelanced all around NYC until he died.

[humanist7117]

Thanks for that tribute!!

[williamholzman]

Krupa just blows me away. He was so cool to the end.

[alexrickets1]

Krupa was extremely ill by the time of this performance (1973), in the last few months of his life in fact; it's sad to think about the pain he must have been in. One of the greats.

[aldiakaroofus]

No matter what jazz record I manage to add to my collection, nothing beats my old Benny Goodman trio/quartet/quintet 78s from the 30s. Their version of "Tiger Rag" from 1936 on Victor is out of this world.

[mooniemoney]

When Lionel Hampton starts jumping up and down at the end I want to jump up and down too. What a great jam! This is one of my favorites. Thanks for posting.

[jalubabeach]

this is so good ahhhhhh it freaks me out

[HypoLuxa2012]

Fantastic...

Does anyone know if this performance (or a another by this band) is available to buy? Preferably on DVD.

[brandashusband]

I have this on VHS. It is an hour long made for TV program called "The All Star Swing Festival" which was hosted by Doc Severinson. The Benny Goodman Quartet was just one segment within that hour, and some of the other numbers they performed were Avalon, Moonglow, and (I think) Memories of You.

I really don't know if it's available any more.

[gioviero]

Goodman speaks with the clarinet as Davis did with the trumpet and Coltrane with the sax

[Nancydrew]

Is that Gene Krupa on the Drums?

[MyTaiwan]

Yes.

[panzerschnott]

"I'm a Ding Dong Daddy from Dumas, You ought to see me strut my stuff" as the song goes..Yes, We can still learn today from all the old masters- Goodman, Wilson, Hampton, Krupa, Duvivier, Etc.

[Frankinstein007]

That blew me away! Extremely awesome!

[THeSwimm3r]

they haven't aged a day really lol at 35 you can hear a part of slipped disc in hampton's solo

[chersext]

Oh, wow, I never knew that before, thanks for the correction. I'll still put mine on the wrong way in his honor, though.

[chersext]

Benny was my hero at that time, I was in high school band and put my clarinet mouthpiece ligature on backwards just because he did.

[jazclarinetist]

Umm bro... he didn't put his ligature on backwards... he just had a ligature that was supposed to be used that way. A couple of my ligatures are like that.

[HelionX]

Some French-made ligatures for the Clarinet have the same "flat" area where the reed rests against the ligature. It doesn't matter where the screws are facing per say, just that it holds the reed in place with a flat area.

[shivan30]

I never get tired of this lol

[nesting88]

what year is this?

[trevholton]

I lost this in the mass of stuff... YouTube please please rename it as DING DONG DADDY FROM DUMAS and not just Quintet...

[livingaragtimelife]

It was a joke. I should have put a smilie after my question.

Hey there. Are you the famous Chris Tyle?

[livingaragtimelife]

who's the pianist?

[tylechops]

Teddy Wilson

[Jagermeister196]

This is a crime to post this song with half lready missed? !!

[papano]

The Snare Drum sounds really good!

[Moose1223]

They're having such fun!

[Pat123123123]

lol he makes the clarinet look cool

[fieroindy]

im 44 and to me thats a jam session for the ages,and also i love hard rock and metal .....nuff said-yup

[MatrixTormenta]

fuckin incredible...s' like coltrane ch!

thank to be created!

oh my God!

[ekam83]

How amazing to see them at that time in their lives!! Thanks so much!

[footcandy]

Oh god that was FANTASTIC!! What year was that?

[powderguy2]

I think it's "Ding Dong Daddy from Yuma," but not 100% sure.

[pap4456]

ding Dong Daddy From Dumas

[nobuthorpe]

What song is this?? Could anyone help me out?

[Chordwayze]

I'd take a guess that this is 'I got Rhythm'. Certainly the chord progression is 'Rythm Changes'.

[WilliamAshGuitar]

it's not rhythm changes

[powderguy2]

I think it's "Ding Dong Daddy from Yuma," but not 100% sure.

[Chordwayze]

Yep.. Okay! But the chord changes are virtually the same.. 'Rhythm Changes'!

[goodcatholicboy]

Ding Dong Daddy from Dumas

[mortal1ty]

omg amazing!

[bgibb101]

Superb!

[FUCKUBE]

i love thme too man!

[cristicaforever]

mi madre, que son geniossss!! los amo!

[paulostroff99]

Goodman was as adept and at home with a quintet as with a full orchestra.He was indeed a great musician!

[ghs45]

[jimmy5x]

Hard to believe Benny thought Gene Krupa was such a ballbag. That Polish son of a bitch had a hell of a sense of rhythm.

[Kelseykins1331]

This is really amazing!

[JosephNScott]

Watch Benny throughout and look how happy he is to be around Lionel. Wakes him right up!

[nobuthorpe]

I have no words for what I have just seen...a true performance with nothing more than pure talent

[bandgeek024]

benny goodman <3 =]

[talk2adz]

when was this performed? is it available on dvd?

[ToddCMorgan]

Wow, this was from the same year that Gene Krupa died, he still playes 'em like no one can, and it's nice to see the original four together, the original group from back in the '30's that didn't have a bassist, but the addition of one hear is just fine, this is what jazz is suppose to sound like!

[nobuthorpe]

It's really amazing that Krupa played the way he did on his last performances...He is definetly one of my favourite drummers of all time

[drdee51]

I was at this concert. It was in 1972. Gene died in 1973. The stagehands had to carry Gene onstage and place him behind his drums. It made anyone with a heart want to cry to see that.

[fusionfreq]

wow you saw that live!!! O-(-( I pass out on the floor ,amazing, and to have a recording of it too!

that is sad to hear gene was brought on stage unwell ...but thank the maker they did. amazing sound recording and drumming too. taken from the 'gene krupa story' video i think? peace:)

[cdadave83814]

If that's the case, Swing must be a natural thing, 'cos Krupa proved he could still do it. That's amazing.

[zamonic]

Not that it matters much, but I'm wondering if you are thinking about the concert at Carnegie Hall in the summer of '73...it may have been Gene's final perfomrance, and if memory serves it was Newport Jazz Festival. That was the concert when they had to help Gene in the manner you describe. I don't know if he was that sick in '72 at Lincoln Center. God Bless.

[krupafan]

This was at a Louis Armstrong memorial concert and the quartett was the only group actually playing live. And Gene was deadsick already and look how he plays. May those four giants of swing rest in peace!

[jimraw1]

Terrific video! I'm a huge fan of Goodman and his small group work - just a group of guys at the top of their game. Goodman never really got the credit he deserved for the great work his quartets and quintets did.

[Hiha1882]

I absolutly love the accents gene plays around 00:18

[trevorgiles]

I just can't stop visiting this piece and am constantly awestruck on the genius of them all... where was this recorded and is there any more of them??

[trevorgiles]

... and to think that this was July 1973 and Gene died of Leukemia in October the same year... and that's George Duvivier on bass... driving as well as the rest of them...

[trevorgiles]

Thanks Jazzbobill... I just couldn't remember the name of the piece and you not only gave it but where I can find more of this brilliant quintet!!! Where has all the music of this calibre gone? Thank the Gods of Jazz for YouTube and it's family!

[mrjamsr]

Sounds to me like "I'm a Ding Dong Daddy".

[EJRodriguez58]

Awesome video,Benny Goodman with almost the original band, Teddy Wilson on piano, Gene Krupa on drums, Lionel Hampton on Vibes,sorry dont know who the Bassist is.This was the first integrated band in the U.S.

[Hiha1882]

I think the bassist is George Duvier.

[biscutsdad]

Bassist is George Duvivier...

[gaspo218]

I love Gene in this. Drove the band and swings as great as ever. You don't have to be the f

[glennmiller2005]

that's teddy wilson on the piano. he was one of the greats too. he was in the origional trio, and one of the first black musicians to be integrated into a white orchestra.

[Exfactor44]

"Buddy" is Buddy Rich. Basically he was a very VERY fast drum player and the fastest of the classic drummers. Only thing was he WAS a loner who tended to get rather angry at band members. Gene Krupa is much cooler

[jgthom]

That's Gene Krupa, not Buddy Rich. Interesting that they've added a bass player to the line up.

[FallonBill]

Goodman - Krupa - Hampton - DOUBLE WOW!

[KrupasGhost]

That is the real deal!!!

[littlejacksbitch]

Krupa and Goodman - WOW!!!!

[extremnod]

Poor Buddy never had good times like these. He was a loner and thought of himself only. He would of passed on in the industry if it wasnt for Johnny Carson bringing him back a few times. Where are the jam sessions of him?? nowhere

[CottonKulan]

Is "Buddy" Benny Goodman?

[littlephoenix1115]

no... they mean buddy rich... the another great drummer of jazz big band history

[rith5]

@CottonKulan Lol you fool

[tjordan13]

Awesome!! I read somewhere that when the quartet infrequently got together in the later years that they tended to play the same few tunes, out of comfort, laziness, or whatever. This shows what happens when they play a tune that i would guess they haven't played in years. Pure excitment. What a thrill. They don't make players like this anymore!

[pwrmax]

oh, i just realised, paul maccartney is 64 and still a great singer

[gautam3]

what has paul mccartney got to do with anything remotely related to jazz???

[pwrmax]

benny goodman looked like he was losing his balance but still has his amazing talent even at the age of 64

[theoldmet]

Why can't drummers swing like that anymore? All I hear these days is banging.

[musicom67]

'Cuz they don't F-E-E-L it.

[littlephoenix1115]

thrue that... a lot of music is too straight now... which is fine in its won right but jazz just dont swing... i guess its been too long since that era

[cbrace]

Gene Krupa on drums -- yaay!

[RICHN1]

Krupa drives this with a swing pulse that takes us on a swinging ride. Taste Taste Tasty!

[pinkieldred]

What a great group..all jazz giants...EARGASIMS!
