I could'nt agree more re; Mac's drum breaks.I have always maintained that his best playing was with the Miller AEF Band during the war years.Apart from the breaks,solo's etc he had a way of playing brushes that was all his own.Also,he had the taste and ability to drop in little pieces of ' business'during a number that stand him out as one of the giants.Get the Miller recordings.They are as good as any band during the Forties.

His drum breaks are on the cuff. You think they may fall apart, but he somehow turns them into little masterpieces. I enjoy his solos over any other swing drummer. Listen to some of his AAF recordings.

You feel very lucky to have played with peanuts. I saw him around 1990 in Florida when he led a mediocre big band in (another) tribute to Benny Goodman. The band wasn't good, but Peanuts was brilliant as usual. He acknowledged his old boss in the audience and Ray stood up and took a bow.

Most of the guy's from this period were gents and a joy to know.I was lucky enough to be taken under the wing of Ray's great friend ,Clarinetist,'Peanuts' Hucko, many years ago.I played and toured with him for 25 years on and off here in the UK.Every night was a master class in the art of Swing Music.'Huck' was wonderful to me and I learnt most of what I can play today sat behind the great man.What Ray used to call,'big mouth music!!'Happy,happy day's.

On top of all that, a true gentleman.

Having spent the past week studying this brilliant clip plus over 35 years listening to Ray McKinley and trying to play some of his licks, I have come to the conclusion that what you have here is without doubt one of the finest drummers in the whole of jazz history.Ray does'nt sound like any other drummer I ever heard.Its the casual way he just knocks it all out that kills me.What I would'nt have given to have had some lessons from this giant.Are there any more clips in the pipeline?WONDERFUL!!!

May 4th 1954 to be exact. I too have the 2 record set. Sad to think that all the great musicians on that recording are no longer with us.

I cannot thank you enough for yet another wonderful piece of McKinley Magic.Ray featured this number on Steve Allens great Dixieland concert double album recordings from,I think,'54'.I never thought I would see the great man actually play this song.I could'nt agree more with the earlier comment re; McKinley making it all look so easy.Its positively astounding just how relaxed he always appears to be.The man was an incredible talent by any measure.More,More,More please!!!!!!!!!!
