Dizzy Gillespie - "Salt Peanuts" - 1947

[DmitriMironov]

Amazing music, amazing band! Amazing musicians, every little note played with outstanding perfection!

[iceman19991000]

I'm only 12 and I like this song

[evad6832]

@iceman19991000 I love it too, I haven't even been born yet : )

[cameronroytaylor]

The look on the drummer's face is classic! He is very much himself a part of the music when he's playing.

[FutebolMusicaDance]

how can two words be so catchy

[Godamatic]

this song is outta control! Basquiat brought me here.

[FutebolMusicaDance]

@Godamatic same! love that doc

[devinhedge]

That's David "Panama" Francis on drums.

[wreckem881]

BEAST OF AN INTRO..

[Thedanner1000]

Drummer had skills

[CrankyxPants]

@Thedanner1000

Max Roach - definite skills

[rolthox]

Slow penis, slow penis.

[largeCoinPurse]

[hungro2]

This is just stylin'

[gmodfilms1]

[cinnomonsinner]

@gmodfilms1 aha 

[hunterfrancischun]

CANONNBALLL



[offspringfan456]

Playing this in jazz band XD

[retrospectroverted]

LET'S GET A CIRCLE PIT

OPEN UP THAT FUCKING CROWD

[JVonD88]

Thumbs up if "The Cable Guy" brought u here!

[saaiello]

@JVonD88 Cable guy ruless

[slLLyhumans]

@saaiello

Jim Carrey was great in that movie .



[jdhockers]

Does anyone know where this aired?

[drone713]

@NervousPancake merely players**

[TheHeater90]

I just found out for sure, the Drummer is not Max Roach, nor is it Kenny Clark, it is Joe Harris!!

[robair9911]

jim carrey reference

[TheHeater90]

I don't see why it couldn't be Max Roach on drums, he played on record with Dizzy and Parker first in 1945, and probably earlier than that live, so if this is from 1947, I don't see why it couldn't be him! He kinda looks like him, but younger, and his licks are not unlike what Max plays on his early recordings!

[TheDonVito17]

the trick is to tell new trumpet players that they should not puff out their cheeks because they will mess up their face. but they really say that because they dont anyone to be as good as dizzy

[brianownsall123]

back then people told him not to play trumpet like that or he'll have huge cheeks. pfft, what bogus. lol dizzy rules

[100mrahh]

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww snap

[MrBojangles2020]

i wonder if those openings were rehearsed by the host,or if dizzy has them put togeather himself,either way music aint the same now

[CORKYANDERSON]

not Max; time frame says could be Kenny Clark on drums.

[teemingup]

@CORKYANDERSON nope, not KC. But who is it......I don`t know.

[mattsmith20111]

2:14 lol drummer is so chill and dapper

[zeldafreak71]

Dizzie's awesome.

[bloomsdisco]

The drummer is probably Joe Harris and the alto player is John Brown. This appears to be Dizzy's working band from 1947, which would mean the tall tenor man is Big Nick Nicholas and John Lewis, later of the MJQ, is on piano. Wonderful intro -- is that Kenny Hagood?

[pravenza]

"soft penis! soft penis!"

[FutebolMusicaDance]

ahhh. watching a documentary on jean-michel basquiat has helped chang my life artisticly and musicaly... salt peanuts salt peanuts.

[TheIzzysteve]

Is that Sonny Stitt on 1st alto?

[alexclou0041]

@TheIzzysteve no

[blondienirvana]

suck my nuts suck my nuts

[jposco]

24 dislikes eh?! Questionable characters.

[Ninearm]

Jim Carrey:

You know from this angle you look exactly like Dizzy Gillespie. Ski do dum di da du da dittle... POW POW....... (snaps his fingers) Salt peanuts!!! SALT PEANUTS!!!!!!

[armms21057]

We will all die, but Dizzie will live for ever...! A tribue to one of the Grandfathers of our Latin jazz.. Thank you "Maestro" for giving the Latino world the opportunity to married the Caribbeam sun with the African drum, here in the U.S. We are all your humble children in music. God bless you.

[theweepingwall]

I guess it's a 15-16 years old Max Roach

[clovermike1]

who is the drummer?

[Bouchon211]

@NervousPancake Haha seriously.. even the introductions were better back then!

[mdluchs94]

Salt Peanuts



[marie144cats]

Dizzy never learned the right way to play the trumpet/cornet, so his cheeks puffed out, even though they shoulnd't. Because of this, when ever he puffs them up, they are huge!

[RAWRDJBEAR]

@marie144cats Very uneducated comment, Dizzy chose to play with that style mimicking some of the players back in the day, it did lead to permanent cheek distortion though.

[codb0y11]

@marie144cats Are you trying to say Dizzy played the trumpet the wrong way? Wow! I wish I could play as wrong as him.

[5theend1]

them peanuts are tasty

[youngprincesmusic]

we watched this in jazz band on the chitlin circut

[cinepost]

Wow, this is before his Bullfrog cheeks really blew out!

[iSuperdupaloveweed]

Stonerific

[Triggernappy]

@iSuperdupaloveweed what's that smell it's like a skunk

[steeviewonder465]

nice

[Adoreyoo]

Like if the Cable guy brought you here

[chargerfighter1]

Instead of "Salt Peanuts, Salt Peanuts", how about "AweSomeness. AweSomeness".

[slipknot35211]

i say salt peanuts all to anoy my techer

[weejimmykranky]

@slipknot35211 the words are "annoy" and "teacher", I think your teacher would be disappointed ... Also "i" should be capitalised ;)

[mello4eva]

this song is so random :O

[chargerfighter1]

@mello4eva

But it's awesomely random.

[machias88]

so far ahead of his time, i honestly wonder how much of the country appreciated this back in 1947,

[jdbryant2]

I'm only 21 and appreciate music like this. Aww you got to love it. :) Salt Peanuts Salt Peanuts.

[r4pt0rP5K]

Oh my god...my Jazz teacher always talked about this song and I thought he said "Salt Penis" the whole time. I feel like I've failed him.

[Master2pint]

swag

[chargerfighter1]

@NeoNaziMexcanJew

By the way, smack your friend upside the head for that.

[chargerfighter1]

@NeoNaziMexcanJew

Actually, I don't hear it, it just subconsciously irks me, being a jazz musician myself, to see that kind of stuff here. It's nothing personal, it just irks me a little.

[deane1012]

dude sayinn salt peanuts is charlie parker

[jaybone23]

@deane1012 No, thats Dizz sayin' "Salt Peanuts". Charlie Parker was a SAX player!!!

[deane1012]

@jaybone23 THANX SORRY I WAS RONGGG

[jaybone23]

@deane1012 - Naw, man, yer awright. Charlie Parker DID indeed play on the original recording of this song, he's just not in this live clip.

[chargerfighter1]

@NeoNaziMexcanJew

Salt Peanuts is a great jazz song, and I've played it. It just irks me to see that kind of stuff based around one of my favorite tunes of all time.

[chargerfighter1]

@NeoNaziMexcanJew

Really, just really?

[mike32738]

The drummer is Joe Harris.

[ecw4ever92]

Cable Guy!!!!

[Jitmakesstuff]

Aw man, I remember playing this in high school.

AWESOME.

[StillHaveADream]

Doesnt matter where when or why just as long as you hear it

[trumpetscrub]

@StillHaveADream Couldn't agree more. As long as people can experience real musician-ship like Coltrane and Clifford Brown, instead of Beiber and friends, i really couldnt give a single fuck

[HerrBrewer]

@trumpetscrub I can't agree more!



[StillHaveADream]

Real jazz cats dont post on youtube. point made

[ageofsagittarius]

Before the trumpet accident.

[AddsMusical]

thumbs up if 'the cable guy’ movie brought u here !! :D

[heatersax]

Thats cannonball on alto yes?

[heatersax]

Thats cannonball on alto yes?

[Valvos]

thumbs up if cable guy brought u here!

[SSMD1]

This is one of my favorite songs, Its a shame I only discovered it a couple of years ago, I instantly fell in love. God Bless the Old Timers.

[RevHamRules]

THE NAME OF THE SONG

[TheTimPelltier]

The drummer plays really weird...I know its "traditional style" but it still looks weird

[RastafarianMovement]

@TheTimPelltier i like that style wish people of today had that sort of style lol...

[Tsugimoto1]

Ha ha! This song's one of my favorites. Easiest... lyrics... ever. :-p

[ElvisLivesUpstairs]

"CABLE GUY!"

[vercetti44]

cable guy

[JacobDburke]

I like jazz but i only really heard of this song because of the album 'basquiat salutes jazz'

[Afghanen]

This my friends is true old-fashioned negro jazz at its best!

[MrTooYube]

That lick (doo dee doo, doo dee doo) was in RHCP's Hump de Bump. I guess Flea has good taste.

[Stonerb13]

@kenchi9999 I believe that's Kenny Clarke.

[555balloon]

Salt Peanuts Salt Peanuts

[JimmyPage97]

@faticeandchocoice oh come on. I got to be known. Thumbs up please.

Ok ok how about this. 23 people must be allergic to peanuts. HeHEHEhehee

[kenchi9999]

what's the name of that drummer?

[AwaTu]

I don't think that's Roach on traps, as he was in Bird's group in '47 —Plus, Max would be wearing glasses and it doesn't resemble Max's longer angular jaw-line—I believe this is Joe Harris, who began working with Gillespie in '46 and, continued working when the datebook called for that outfit through '48 —Per the scuttlebutt —Joe's stint with Diz ended when he got in a tiff with the Maestro's wife...

[JimmyPage97]

oooo let me try. THUMBS UP if you have ever eaten Salted Peanuts.

[WillXD117]

dizzy looks sooo diffrent back then!!!

[JimmyPage97]

@WillXD117 no glasses or mustache did it for me

[cinnomonsinner]

thumbs up if you read my comment and you're snapping your fingers and nodding

[MVP3246]

Lame

[KishoAudioVisual]

Master ... Teacher ... Amazing <33333

[chargerfighter1]

Uberness of the ultimate level of Uber.

[damo504]

Super gangster

[MadPuppets1]

is it wrong that i think the drumsolo is what makes the song great i mean i love dizzy but damn that drummer brought the heat

[JimmyPage97]

@MadPuppets1 Not at all. Thats exactly what I was thinking too. I loved the drums in this era.

[RhdajWdjjkk]

Cool guys Latin ladies here ** rockmycity.info **

[weejimmykranky]

Alright Dizzy fans, if I'm to buy one Dizzy album, which one should it be and why?

[ofloveandlunacy]

Get Sonny Side Up, with Sonny Rollins and Sonny Stitt.

incredible bop album. His playing is amazing.

Sonny Rollins and Sonny Stitt are great too, especially on eternal triangle where they have a tenor battle.

[weejimmykranky]

@ofloveandlunacy Cheers bud,  I'll check it out :)

[TheGunter77]

Definitely.... there are 23 stupid people

[chargerfighter1]

@TheGunter77

There are waaaaaay more than 23 stupid people, 23 just happened to come to this video.

[TheFreshTrumpet]

I've learned to hate this song because I have a crazy bad solo when my band plays. It SUCKS!!! But at least it can sound good here.

[spifflocalypse]

@TheFreshTrumpet Yeah, I hate pretty much any jazz song that I've had solos in. It's haaaaaaaard :(

[SmallTownSongstress]

salt peanuts, salt peanuts :D

lol makes me smile

[cinnomonsinner]

THE CABLE GUY XD



[parachronism]

I don't know what google has to do with Gillespie.

[kenchi9999]

cool who's the drummer?

[TheHankGrizzly]

The drummer is having the time of his life.

[gordeque]

the muppets videos brought me here. No matter anyway, Gillespie's one of the greatest.

[ROTEsimplemachines]

I love the irony in the call out juxtaposed with the band's joy in playing the music.

[vinnys025]

I can't stop thinking of cable guy when I hear this. Great song though.

[wpk5009]

Cable Guy!

[MsDeelovely]

this is the genre of music called beebop....

along with scatting this music had found its way because of the change in tempo...it wasnt slow and soultry (jazz) yet it wasnt considered rhythm and blues ...

[kurisensei]

Pull my thumb if Jack Kerouac brought you this

[figocooldude]

@kurisensei Jack Kerouac was the coolest of them all.

[hiphoplivs]

@figocooldude was jack kerouac a poet as well?

[Dompizzi]

It is not Kenny Clark on drums on this video (trust me, Kenny has been my drum teacher), it seems to be Max Roach. Kenny wrote a drum solo based on the theme of this song. He co-wrote the song with Dizzy Gyllepsie.

Cheers,

Dom

[bobbygoesbig]

@Dompizzi i believe it's Joe Harris on drums. He was the drummer for Dizzy's big band performance at Carnegie Hall in September of 1947 so this is probably him.

[sixtieskid062]

@bobbygoesbig

It is Harris.

[kikiblue75]

at drums I suppose Kenny Clarke...thank you a lot that you post this video.

[bossface009]

max roach or whoever that is drumss wayy to fast for the cameras hella sick

[shmuckmuck]

[jacquieblues]

[mezeraani]

DIZZY is so good! he realized people couldnt understand JAZZ and most people were stupid and wouldnt understand the music. they would ignore the music if nothing attracted he them, so SALT PEANUTS SALT PEANUTS! EXCELLENT DRUM SOLO

[MarshallStoneMathers]

SOAPY NUTS SOAPY NUTS!

[jmspowers]

I don't think that's Max Roach ... it doesn't really look like him.

[Xandrys1]

@jmspowers no its him, you can tell by the way he plays.

[thejujubear]

THUMBS UP IF U ACTUALLY LISTEN TO JAZZ AND THHHHHEEEEN CAME HERE

[marykmusic]

@thejujubear I hadn't herd this in so long, and it was just sorta stuck in my head. I'm thrilled to find such an early, live version! And gosh, Diz is still skinny and hasn't tipped his bell up yet.

[shmuckmuck]

@thejujubear cant say i do, you make me so ashamed...

[mcrkid22]

@thejujubear My man, this is NOT jazz.

[shirkenXCCR]

@mcrkid22 u kidding?

[cheezkid]

this song reminds me of cable guy so much

[AphroditeOnTop]

Why isn't his trumpet bent?

[inFamousHero123]

@AphroditeOnTop this is old WaAAAAAAAAY before the bent trumpet.

[drummakid101]

Not to piss off anyone but, Wynton looks like Dizzy.

[CountryGirl4God68]

I like this!

[rockmort114]

I find myself coming back to this clip time after time. I love it more and more each time I watch it.

[Tennisers]

Thumbs up if google brought you here.

[missusestlady]

Dizzy will always be the king

[colton422]

[bob4247]

Max Roach… True Dat!

[tadd1]

[bob4247]

@bob4247 Opps. Kinda looks like Max. Thanks however for the correction.

[dontforget50370]
