[herroyalhighnesss3]

[Galeanification]

Can you believe: Once upon a time children were still introduced to MUSIC on TV? 

[sojkenoi1]

iiideeemooo...

[adjbey]

Love it. Dizziness

[Dardagan11]

oh this is GREAT!!!

[itsraininglool]

eww

[PrivetKaboose]

Can I get a trumpet like that

[Deathbringer99699]

@PrivetKaboose sure.. :D its about 55 thousand dollars :D

[badassmotherplucker]

@Deathbringer99699 Nah, i saw a cheaper replica in a brass mag. for like 800,

[sanan22]

favorited

[tobihawk1]

he's like a frog

[00Mayes]

I'm just waiting for his face to explode but it never happens o.o

[Deathbringer99699]

@00Mayes MUAHAHHHHAHAH

same here .. XD

[Seanyboy819]

Other than the muppets, where can I find Dizzy playing this song? I've been searching everywhere on youtube

[bruteshot473]

@huntdude555 if you look at him, the bottom of his cheeks are tight. If you puff your cheeks, you won't be able to keep as tight of an airstream.

[MrTrumpet41]

Two great legends...Dizzy Gillespie and The Muppets!!!

[ReptarVV]

His cheeks are HUGE :O

[chief1223]

@ReptarVV Too bad the reviews won't be! Oh ho ho!

/heckler

[rwa2play]

24 people don't get Jazz or the Muppet Show...or both

[jasonrfrancis]

I'm feeling nostalgic for the muppet show!

[thegreatmeemeechan]

Dizzy gillespie's my great uncle

[773SleepyHollow]

The Muppet Show was on at 7:30... I think it was aimed at both kids and adults.

[pool7e89]

If he was still alive then he would be a great grandfather to twins!

[altibe2132]

Arka da bayrağımızı gören var mı :)

[Antikvaro777]

2.30- africa style :D

[mrbungs]

0:39. hahahaha. I love the way Kermit moves. That's ridiculous.

[jkremis1423]

Not to take anything away from him, obviously, but it's disappointing when I see him without those dark brimmed glasses and a beret =/

[UAL012]

I love the way Dizzy Gillespie played the trumpet. The man was an incredible musician.

[Jazz2772]

Interesting version... wasn't expecting the funk/rock stuff

Dizzy is of course amazing

[sillydill8]

I hate the way his trumpet is bent

[QuixoticUkulele]

@sillydill8

It's bent like that for a reason. Wiki him.

[luispaulostylle]

Oh banda réa boa!

[LightingSight]

Big cheeks for a big name!!!

[dockie1964]

This clip needs a "Love It" option..!

[mrjohn1964]

This is music, man!!

"Just" music!

[evelynbryan251]

his cheeks are big

[DasBullWy]

Muppet Show's got a great house band! Dizzy is the man.

[SpontaneousJunk]

muppets=good

Dizzy=over ninethousand

Dizzy+Muppets=great video

[ox092]

this show was awesome and I bet it was a treat having dizzy on here.

[micaelt8209]

the muppet show has to be one of the dopest shows of all time.

[PokeAlexB]

Shim Sham Shimmy at 2:25!

[NoiseMostBeautiful]

who was the green muppet that always played the sax, the muppet band was great!

[ox092]

@NoiseMostBeautiful that is zoot.

[jeliric]

@NoiseMostBeautiful wasn't that violence?

[ox092]

I love the Muppet whose playing the bongo's.

[augury010]

If it's Dizzy Gillespie, it's gonna be great. =D

[gatodecamapa]

Ele ta "sambando" !

[rinkmeifucan]

spike's cigarette from cowboy bebop is a reference to his trumpet. lol.

[Ilovegoodsongs]

Wow his cheeks o.0 I think his the son of a frog...

Kermit, why didn't you tell bout Dizzy?

[yaaharriott]

This show came on at prime time television at 8pm EST for kids and adults alike. There will NEVER be another one like it. My mom let me watch it faithfully every night before I went to bed. I loved it so much. The theatre and musical acts. I guess it had a little to do with why I'm a musician today! LOL!

[souldout4812]

and now there's a medical condition named after him because of his cheeks.... gettt itt....

[AresCassell]

"Do you know how to get to Carnegie Hall?"

"Practice, man. Practice."

Classic. Also, Dizzy is the best trumpeter of all time. Hands down.

[Klayski]

cool what instrument is that

[Klayski]

cool what instrument is that

[Klayski]

what insrumet is that bent up trumpet?

[Klayski]

@Klayski cool



[Backdrop2772]

@Klayski it is exactly that :D a bent up trumpet! For some reason, he prefers it that way. The story is that his regular trumpet got bent in that way and he just always kept it like that

[Dharok95025]

Omg!!! Muppets and Dizzy Gillespie now that's entertainment.

[OperaFreaks]

Praise the man that blows a mean horn!

[speedybrock]

[sabueso32]

[scomdnz9]

i love how he conducts the muppet orchestra at the beginning.

[willy1986tralara]

massive win

[cootem95]

What kind of trumpet is that

[thiekeman11]

@cootem95 His. One night at a party someone fell on it and the bell bent up like that and he realized that he liked it that way. Could sight read and hear his notes faster. so he used one just like it. and i believe you can now purchase trumpets like it.

[Dreva]

@thiekeman11 that's urban legend.

[RalphCramdenJr]

Oh man! This was refreshing! Gillespie! :-D

[Cmdrrom]

What a beautiful video! Wish more jazz was in children's programming...

[ultraplatnumman]

what would happen if he circular breathed?????????

[abehammy]

None of these greats seem dead to me. You wanna know why? Cause the music is so lively!

[johnniebwalkin]

that was effing awesome. muppets + dizzy = win

[XXdrunkenxx87]

damn...i love music apperication classes i had read an article on him and searched here to see what he looked like

[theryecatchers]

Who dislikes this and what has happened to their soul?

[murphy625]

Amazing ..just thinking if Charlie Parker had survived he too may have appeared on the muppet show! imagine that.............

[MrPoeta69]

to the morons:

If you don't have anything nice to say ,keep it to your self

you don't have to show the world how much of a moron and ignorant about music you are .

music is like ice cream there is plenty of flavors for everyone , so just respect

others

[maagonzalez888]

[yobigdaddy65]

Happy b-day Dizzy Gillespie u were a legend.

[im2ninja4you]

Happy Birthday Mr. Gillespie. A true inspiration to musicians worldwide... And then you throw muppets in the mix???? Awesome.

[SPTunnelMotor]

This is really cool. Happy Birthday Dizzy Gee!

[jackodillantor]

happy bday



[angelinad1996]

Happy Birthday ^^

I hope that there will always be people like Dizzy to get tears to our eyes because of the beauty of music .. beautiful music like the one he just played .. THANKS ^^

[fragdemented]

Wow Half his face looks like a baloon when he plays! He is awesome! RIP dude!

[TheFireslasher2]

@fragdemented It's because he has Dizzy Gillespie disease.

[jadewarlock]

@fragdemented The reason his cheeks could puff out like that was because the membranes in his cheeks I believe eventually ruptured and therefore allowed them to stretch out further. But you are right, he was awesome, and his trumpet still remains my favorite jazz music. Electric Mayhem here makes it even better.

[GatameOne]

2:37 he he i like his little dance he's got there might try that at home.

[koolkiidtre13]

OMG His Cheeks R so HUGE, :)

[BibliCaleb]

I think alot of great musicians started off at the mupphets and sesame street.

[39carola1]

Buon compleanno Diz

[99thefire9]

RIP Dizzy 

[SaarduLady]

This is why Sesame Street has lasted so long. They introduce young, developing minds to all kinds of art and ideas. Parents love letting their children watch this and people love supporting this kind of program. This is excellent!

[Orlax16x]
