  • One of a kind video , BTW Don Ellis looks like teenwolf

  • I grew up with a trumpet player band-leader dad and I played for forty years in big bands, so what a treat to hear and see my main guys from back in the forties--Diz--through the fifties and sixties--Pete (and Conte)--Mr. Hurt in the seventies and eighties, AND the redoubtable player/innovator Ellis in the later years....

    If they'd have had Miles and Clifford my old heart prob'ly couldn't have stood it....

    Many thanks

    jim

  • Just this minute saw an episode of 'Peter Gunn' with Candoli in the band within the story. Truly blasts from the past. Very nice.

  • WOW!!! Brings tears to my eyes to think of all the REAL musicians we've lost...

  • Wonderful!!It is clips like this that make You Tube such a treasure!

  • Was Sarah Vaughan on this... I had a recording and not sure of the year, but this sounds like part of the audio i had.. or did they have a similar radio show.

  • Thanks for posting this! I was lucky to have heard each of these gentlemen live in concert over the years, except for Don Ellis. This was great!!!!!!!!!

  • Thanks so much for the Video. I have to get off of here and Shed! I wish the internet was there when I was a kid. Oh well... Thanks again.

  • I wish an artist would do a tribute to Al Hirt. Since he left us, so few artists seem to know who he was and how well he played - he was a bugler at Fort Dix, NJ in WWII or we would have lost him. Most of his boot camp buddies died on D-Day. He had a PhD from the Ohio Conservatory of music. For me the top trumpeters of all time are Louis Armstrong, Al Hirt, Maynard Ferguson, Harry James, and Brian Casserly of Cornet Chop Suey.

  • these are all some of the greatest horn players of time. sure, they may not have played the highest, but their tone, tonguing, and improv skills show their true talent

  • Thank for sharing this. I played trumpet when I was a kid and admired them all so!
