i would have loved being born back in the 30s - 60s. this music is way better than todays new music

[ABrandsma]

Every time has its advantages and disadvantages, but in the quality of music I totally agree. Nowadays we are listening to computer sounds backing a vocalist, who's voice has been edited 2 times every bar.

I prefer human beings making music.

One point , in the 30's they had no youtube!

[menza1man]

ahh, good point. im not too familiar with how close everything is over in that neck of the woods. he also played for stan kenton for a little while, but quit because the orchestrations were too thick. i never realized that he played with that many big names until i started reading his biography, nor did i know he was voted the #1 tenor man for 10 years in a row by Downbeat Magazine. only to be edged out by Coltrane in '61.

[ABrandsma]

Oh sure, he was a marvelous player. He simply played lead (alto part) on his tenor while with Woody Herman. Had so much control that nobody bothered.

[menza1man]

well it really looks like him before he got fatter. and he played with Benny in the 40s. so why wouldnt he go see his old bandleader.

[ABrandsma]

That's true and he also played alongside Zoot Sims in Woody Herman's most famous sax section. What I was thinking is that Stockholm & Blokker are not just around the corner. But maybe he was touring himself anyway.

[zootcarey]

I saw Zoot Sims with Benny Goodman in the early sixties, just after they returned from touring Russia (which was quite a big deal then). The concert was at Disneyland of all places. SO GOOD> thanks very much for posting this!

Why are there adverts on youtube now, they're trying their best to make me stop using this site...

also I've made the obsevation that these old videos are only watched by 6 year olds because old people don't even know they're on here

[movie3king]

Well... I'm 15 years, and I LOVE this kind of music. Jazz!

[kingorthy]

Awesome chops, what a great band!

[choroBR]

I Love Metais and Big Bands.

@ABrandsma You're right. No you tube, no video games, no TV. Just think how much time these kids had to practice and become talented. Todays kids will have nothing to show for their childhood except stretch marks and diabetes.

@Solis1112 The advantage to today is you have the internet. So, any music you want, you can have. So...I'm glad I was born in this time. But I wish I was born in the future...if there is one.

@ABrandsma

I am actually trying to bring this music back by preforming famous old songs like "Stormy Weather" and "Is you is or is you ain't my baby". I don't think its working but I still love going up on stage and singing these songs so I can hear my self later.

[scotchrks]

Good 'ol Zoot!! Playin' that baritone sax!!

[AgamemnonPadar]

I always dream to have lived during the 30s to 70s period, BUT when i think about to go to the dentist i prefere defenitely 2010.
