It is quite amazing to see the great man in action. My students are amazed!! (So am I). I have an old vinyl of him playing and I think I might see if I can transfer it to mp3 and make a slideshow backing and post it.

Thank you so much for this invaluable piece of history and excellent teaching tool. I love the random comment about the light too at 5:13. And then Rascher sounds strangely annoyed - "fine!' Gold
Is he playing a Buescher true-tone?

I had been wanting to see something like this for quite some time. Watching him play that keyless saxophone like that absolutely made my day, too.

This made my day! I was just thinking of how nice it would be to have a film of Mr. Rascher. He has an amazing control of harmonics.
