At 2:47, Paul is playing "Without a Song", which is from the 1929 musical "Great Day", with music composed by Vincent Youmans.

In this 1962 film, one can watch Paul Horn's composition "Count your change" develop into a great piece of music, with eight bars of 4/4 followed by 6 bars of 5/4. In the last part of the film, "Count your change" is performed at Shelly's Manne-Hole. The Paul Horn Quintet here consists of: Paul Horn (alto sax), Paul Moer (piano), Emil Richards (vibes), Victor Gaskin (bass), Milt Turner (drums). The same Quintet recorded "Count your change" on the 1962 album "Profile of a jazz musician".

Wow! Nice info. I'll make sure Paul checks out your comment. Of course you've seen "Sweet Smell of Success".

Cheers,

Chris

Oh, nice, Bean. I hadn't realized you'd put this up! Very cool.

This was nice... I started listening to Paul Horn around the early '70s. I lost track of him after a while, but he does have a website. The video here has a nicely-done style. Thanks for putting this up Chris.

This is very cool Chris. I watched them in backwards order so it gave me a different perspective.
