[funk45750]

Man this is great lesson for a young bean to the bop. godbless you mr. JazzVideoGuy.

that must be one far out grandpa, to stand behind that 'jungle music'...

[myleswein]

Fantastic! What a band. Can you imagine the general TV audience taking this in at the time? We have 50 million TV stations now and nothing like this can be found anywhere.

[standrick]

this is one of the best if not THE best vid you have uploaded yet. Man... downloading it now. This deserves to be copied and spread as much as possible. 

[jgrodnik]

R.I.P Billy Thanks for posting!  I love this stuff great show!

[claryscat]

The piano has busted keys, no top and Billy is sitting in a chair. That's funny. Every single one of these solos burns front to back. Geezz Cannonball is a scary player about this time! I played alto in a Monday night rehearsal band about '73 and Mundell Lowe was a featured guest soloist at a concert. We played a blues chart where he and i got to trade choruses and fours. After, Mundell came up to me and said i sounded good and he had fun. That meant so much to me as a young cat. Still playing'.

A sports writer and Tommy Dorsey didn't care for bop. SHOCKING.

[schnieef]

@milnak: I also think T. D. cared more about money than anything else in the 40s.

[steelydanbowler]

@FSanchezmusic I "think" it was "Bebop", written by Dizzy Gillespie, but im not 100% certain.
