[eldvendeDlaguarda]

Each time I listen good blues music I remember when I loved my girl.

Sweet momments, sweet girl, sweet music.

[TalisAden]

This is the best! Beautiful treasure. Thank you for posting it.

I noticed that Norman Granz was the Technical Director...he was a big name in jazz circles (Verve Records) and managed some of the biggest names in music. A very interesting man and his influence was enormous.

[birdtrane1956]

Barney Kessel was studio musician for some Beach Boys album. I Think is the main guitarist in "Pet Shop"

[Cherokee6194159]

@ kenf1ott ~ Not that I know of I just used the expression. It's been around awhile among musicians a few years before Elvis. You've got good taste, there, my friend.

[MJPTHA3RD]

Lester Young makes me proud to be a Tenor saxophonist.

[jordaniothefourth]

Astonishing. Thanks for sharing this video.

[lestmbly]

This is almost like a modern day video in its effect..So contemporary, so cool, so hip..Who's the chick?

[baeticus1]

@lestmbly The singer is Marie Bryant.

[sopwithcamels266]

Prez is a genius this is just wonderful,thanks for putting this out .If your into Traine, Bird, Bergonzi whatever, this is the linch pin.Kids today don't hear Prez ,Prez is simply the best and the vehicle for everything after.

Any one who claims to be a muso that doesn't hear the Prez isn't a musician.

What year is this?

[SCORNDOGGMELACH]

Ive just been slapped flat

[Urbino237]

Oh boy. Here's an era long-gone. Top musicians all, know one another well, high respect throughout, aware of one another's talents and abilities; my goodness. Almost 'too much' with my favourite jazz drummer of all, BIg Sid.

[Lundy1997]

[GiuzColtrane]

It's unbelivable HOW MUCH blues is on a single video........even too much :D

[mtibberon]

Hope this clip is around 100 years from now! That Kessel was one hip "grey" though! That Marie Bryant has a real nice way of swinging, like Pres...mmm mmm!

[199520002002]

I can´t stop watching this.

[TheBassplayah]

Smooth and perfect...No one like Lester today! Who is the Dame?

[NICEJEWISHMAMA]

Live video of some of the Hottest in the Biz

[pathogeniclithograph]

[busessuck1]

That singer/dancer girl is just fantastic, check her out in the Ellington short film titled Bli-Blip

[MICROBIAL]

[luisivanrs]

wow que rica musica, esto es sublime

[satziebaby]

I wish that all these kids who play this "fuck and fool" shit today could be made to listen to these masterpieces....Then I want them to tell me about "soul" and "speed" and "teeth..C'MON MAN..

[macvoutie]

As Prez would say "Big Eyes".

[capitancrook]

Lester´s sound is so magical, hypnotical and poetic as Ive ever listen. One of the greatest ever

[aerofredywr]

Amazing! Lester was one of Duke Ellington favourites, Catlet played whith LOUIS THE GREAT and lady Bryant´s singing has a lot of Satchmo.

[greenespltd]

luvz

[godfatherofjazz]

sorry 4got that last comment was me on my bros account if u care to answer my question please click on my page sorry for the stupid question

[Iamawhiteguy]

this sounds stupid but whos prez?

[mokellyreport]

Lester Young...one of the greatest tenor saxophonists of all time. Player it Count Basie particularly. Recorded with Billie Holiday too...died of drug-related health issues.

[macvoutie]

Not so much drug related ( reefer primarily) more alcholism.

[schwenman]

absolutely wonderful!

[Sh4nkles]

I wish I could be that good, It's just amazing how these guys sound, I could'nt even imagine it live!

[CackleMyGladdis]

I cant stop watching this.

[Cherokee6194159]

Thats Barney Kessel on guitar, a Ofay from Okla.TCB.

[kenf1ott]

@Cherokee6194159

did Barney Kessel play with Elvis later on?



[dreamkev]

Lester young and "sweets" edison are amazing.........I recommend "Thats all" by lester and Edison.

[idelia52]

this feeds the soul great music/video  ty for posting

[arlington1997]

Good old Prez. What a player...

[Poluxs123]

This is just great!

[jazzman24]

It has been told that when they filmed this short at the Warner Bro.studio lot that some of the great actors with Warner Bro. such as Humphrey Bogart, Bettie Davis, Edward G. Robinson Etc. stopped what they where doing to hear this jam session through out the day.

One damper on this short was the fact that Barney Kessell was filmed silhouetted so that a white musician was not identified playing with black musicians.

[wbwvids]

Fantastic! This is the full version, I have a copy on my TiVo. Super direction and effects -- and the music too!

[nadavnaz2]

Some part of me always feels jealous for those times, but there are so many contradicting elements at each era and time!

This wonderful music that will never be played the same again, but on the other hand: racism, the second world war, the holucaust...

This is such a beautiful historical relic, thank you so much!

[Purrete]

And the fantastic dancer too!

[bosse66]

Wonderful music, wonderful video! Thanks for sharing.

[vvishka]

Gjon Mili...one of the best photographers of all times...Albanian emigrant...google his name and you'll find the famous photo od Picasso! Enjoy ;)

[ashleyisasweatervest]

Fabulous ♥

[johnnydarling]

Great clip. Great Prez.

[punchsboy]

It gave me goose bumps-when was this made? Looks like very hip camera work.

[kobojazz]
