  • Good question about commercialism, but from how I see it, he kind of straddled it fairly early on with good, straight-ahead swing, and then during the 1950's he had a fine big band that had stylings similar (but not copying) to Basie. I think Neal Hefti even did some arranging for him (Hefti was arranging for Basie at the time).

  • is it true he sank to much into 'commercialism'

  • @ScribblesOfOwls Those old movie houses were always filled. It was an awesome time for music.

  • WOW!!!

  • Een van de beste uitvoeringen op trumpet!

    schitterend!

    jazzy
