The band also played "Lover" on this show. Big T is unforgotten, his band was superb. I luckily heard Bobby Lewis in Chicago in the late 90s.

Barrett, I miss you, buddy!

Well, folks . . . sad to say, you CAN see the death shadows in Jack's face . . .

But---in a lighter vein---notice how he clears the spit-key a good eight bars ahead of when he'll be putting the 'bone to use . . .

This is what Dorothy Parker meant when she wrote, "How DELICIOUS it is to see competence at work."

That's a young Bobby Lewis on Trumpet. He's still blowing strong in Chicago. Find out more about him at his website

@checker764

The mere existence of the comment: filmed as part of the TV special "International Hour - American Jazz" at the Civic Opera House in Chicago in 1963

suggests mentioning the whole setup. I get mighty frustrated when I can't recognize them all.

Maravilloso, muchisimas gracias.

This is one of his last TV appearances. Less than a year later, "Big T" was gone...the victim of a heart attack and complications from pneumonia.
