  • Thanks for the a great video by one of the best big bands of the sixties, The Kenny Clarke-Francy Boland Big Band! There are not enough videos of these guys on youtube, but they are slowly growing.  If I learn how I may post Manteca from my Dizzy Gillespie DVD with these guys.

  • Tromboneman with a wristclock on his arm is  Åke Persson in this band.!

  • Kenny Clare was my great uncle !

    and yeah i know he was G.R.E.A.T !!

    =D x

  • That snare drum sounds crisp, it doesn't sound like a couple of tension nuts are loose. Did Kenny Clare explain the method of tuning his snare drim?

  • What a marvelous snare drum tone......

  • I believe this tune was on the "Sax No End" album, as The Turk.

    The LP cover, which can be seen on Amazon's website, gets my vote for Nicest Ever.....

  • Tremendous CBBB tune!

    A different version of this tune was released on the album, but Benny Bailey's ending solo is fabulous on BOTH versions.

  • the best solo i heard was a battle between ronnie stephenson and kenny clare on an album talkin about drums. on the drum spectacular album. amazing. hear it on drummerworld.

  • Yeah, I also went down to that shed in South London in 1978 for a drum lesson with this great man. I just asked him to play so I could watch for an hour. SSSSSuperb

  • Wonderful stuff! I had a drum lesson with the great Kenny Clare (in a shed at the bottom of a garden somewhere in South London). I remember his snare drum being wrinkled like a Yorkshire pudding. He was a lovely man and probably the finest, and most instantly recognisable, drummer this country has ever produced.

  • Oh man, I love that. Putting a wrinkle in the head to get that sound. I always LOVED that flat, wet sound he got in the studio. Hal Blaine also had that sound over here in the U.S. And for the longest time, I couldn't figure out why I liked the Partridge Family albums so much......until I found out Hal was playing on them, of course.
