  • Brill!

  • Great hot jazz / music a j morland waes uk

  • More groups like this could do well to learn from the effect of this clip. With well-thought filming, editing, timing and nothing more than the band members and their instruments (plus one or two fun effects), and very little attempt at zazz or mugging, and clever, minimal elegance, a really fun music video has been put together that matches the voice of the arrangement and the band.

  • Drummer Brian Innes is a mirror image of a very young Woody Allen. This is made even more poignant when you realize Woody's hobby is playing this kind of music.

  • Jazz players smoke too much weed

  • Banjo player looks remarkably like Dave Foley.

  • Line-up (L-R): Count Clifford de Bevan - piano Captain Cephas Howard – trumpet Martin Fry (aka Franklin D Paverty) – sousaphone John Gieves-Watson - banjo Ray Whittam –saxes John R T Davis (aka Sheik Wadi al Yadounir) – trombone Brian Innes - Grand Jazz Percussion Kit Alan Swainston Cooper (aka Henry MacHooter) – soprano sax and clarinet - plus of course Whispering Paul McDowell on vocals

  • Many Thanks for the vid..!...simply GREAT !

  • WOW!!!

    that was amazing!!

    wow

    .

  • That tiny wee saxophone is so special :) Its like the punchline to a music joke. Love it!

  • It's a soprano sax you rarely see them curved like other saxes.

  • Heyhey :) Thx for the int!

    All the very best to you sir

  • good memories

    thanks so

  • Love it!

  • sorry but, what year was this?

    it 's so legendary age !

  • I saw these guys and drank at the bar with them at the Downs Hotel Hassocks, over 40 years ago. This was a time of Rock & Roll on the one hand and Traditional Jazz on the other, but everybody seemed to like the Temperance seven, regardless!!!

  • wonderful john rt davis on soprano to sadly missed

  • Wonderful stuff, brought back some good memories. These guys were terrific musicians, sadly often dismissed as a comedy act.

  • I was forced to dance to this in 5th grade, it was a cover and more upbeat thought. have been looking for this song for 10 years. Brilliant.

  • Bravo boys! Like the good old days.

  • Most excellent. It could have been written for them.

  • Are they good or what! the proud owner of their one and only LP!

  • funny stuff....rude, but good for a snicker.

  • Come on - can't someone post some actual VIDEOS of the Temperance 7 performing to YouTube?

  • Thanks for posting this. They're an accomplished and spirited bunch, and they this charming devil-may-care presence on screen.

  • OOH, I SAY it's awfullly rude (crikey)!!!!

  • Mr. Hokum, That's the bee's knees! Thanks. Regards, J.

  • is this from that "it's trad dad" movie? it's a strange movie, but it has a cool message..

  • When i saw the title i thought it meant baby as in child which i thought weird lol

  • thanks for that, quantumlord18, it's been irritating me

  • i am mooha124 as well as eltombre by the way

  • Das stimmt mein freund!

    Alle die Leute lieben mein Baby aber mein Baby sie liebt niemand aber mich, niemand aber mich.

    I just love it like you.

  • Lieber Freund, dass stimmt ganz genau.

    Sehr schön , ich liebe dieses Video. Dass isst eines von meine Favorieten!!!

  • Meine Liebchen Miffy

    Ich bin so frohlich das dieses Video ist jetzt ein von deinen Favourieten. Naturlich es ein von meinen Favourieten. Es ist so, so gut nicht wahr?

  • Ach ja, lieber Manfrommars, das isst gerade so fantastisch gut. Ich liebe es

  • Just enjoyed watching Alan Swainston Cooper playing the clarinet, a sadly missed dear friend. All our love to his family, you are always deep in our thoughts, XXXX

  • I just noticed that the trumpet player on the far left is smoking a cigarette at :51-52. That makes me love this vid even more!

  • I'm not totally sure but I think he was Captain Cephas Howard or something like that. What I'm struck by is what brilliant musicians they all were. Theyreally brought 1920s music to life. Indeed I think their versionsof "You're Driving Me Crazy" and "Pasadena" are better than any original 1920s version and this one certainly is.

  • Fabulous. I played banjo at Your Fahters Mustache for years. Can anyone tell me about the banjo played on the video—specially made? Thanks, Jeff Ollswang

  • John Watson, the banjo player, may still be seen with Bill Posters Will Be Banned at the Bull at Barnes on a Thursday each month. He still plays a similar cello banjo but without the fiddle peghead.  I asked him about it and he seemed very vague - he was equally vague about the one you see in the video. He's still agreat player though.

  • Thanks for your response. THe band has a terrific sound, especially the banjo. The 'cello banjo' has a particularly rich sound! Again, thanks for your time and consideration, Jeff Ollswang

  • i heard this beautifull song 30 yrs ago

  • Fantastic, any more? I was lucky enough to see them (one or two original membersI think) live at Phyllis Court, Henley on Thames in the summer of 2005.

  • and they're still going. Well, two of the original are still in the current line-up. Cliff Bevan (playing piano here I believe) is now giving tuba lessons to my son.

  • Friggin' WOW!

  • You don't see many bass saxamaphones these days! Harry Gold and his Pieces of Eight had one.

  • i love this stuff

  • thank you for this beautiful music posting ,good old memories, do any body has song "rainbow in her tears" from the same time period

  • Hi, This recording is the 1962 or 1964? I believe thta is 1962. I got the album with others recordings from the great Temps... "Sahara", "Charleston", "Black Bottom". Thanks for its.

  • Wonderful clip. I long live the Temps!

  • John Gieves Watson looks so young on this Sean. I saw him recently and if you keep playing the darn banjo you could end up looking the same... aaarrrggghhhhh. Syd

  • good stuff!
