  • @MrAudioProducer i think it was 1932

  • When it was filmed? 1939? 1940?

  • Awesome talent and so glad I am able to enjoy this GREAT performance!!!

  • Fantastico assolo del grandissimo "rabbit"...

  • 16 people think that rebecca black is good music

  • fuck. from 1:33 to 2:38. probably the greatest moment in music.

  • @JOEdoesThings22 Quite right, Sir. "Mainstem", with the Blanton-Webster band is arguably the swingingest record ever. How can a band NOT swing with Blanton in it? Or Sonny Greer, for that matter. I've heard that accusation levelled at Ellington so often, and put it down to the fact that the Ellington band is always doing so much MORE as well. Great from the 20s to the 70s, from Bubber Miley to Money Jungle to Eastbourne Performance (1973), that's some record.

  • D.C.'s own Duke Ellington. We love ya, Duke! :-D

  • @mikebuddy1 - Agreed. I love early jazz, the earlier, the better.

  • @EvidenceFragmentary I agree with everything you just said there.
