harryoakley, i dont think this was in 1932. this whole concert is on the internet and the title says it was filmed in 1934. nice post though

[harryoakley]

Both are incorrect; it was filmed in Copenhagen on 21 October 1933.

[Oscar Sims]

Although his solo is not filled with many notes with the few he uses is still pure beauty

[harryoakley]

It is pure beauty BECAUSE he uses few notes!

The audience reminds me of the applauding old ladies from Monty Python.

[harryoakley]

- Yes I see what you mean! It's mainly because of the way the applause is inserted into the film and obviously not a genuine part of it.

Eighty years gone and its still electrifying

Tiger Rag from film "Louis Armstrong and His Harlem Hot Band". Filmed October 21, 1933 in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Unlike many of today's instrumentalists, jazz musicians back then understood that sometimes less was more. Now we have players who just go into overdrive all the time. It ain't how much you play, it's how soulful you play.

From the History of MUSIC. You were a sharp cat if you knew this song back in 1930!

That clainetist has chops in his own right! Nobody can hand with Pops though.

I very much doubt the guy filming this would think his film would be being viewed on a thing called the internet in 2013 lol.
