Lester Young is featured here. If you look closely you might see violinist Stuff Smith in the audience clapping along and guitarist Teddy Bunn on the side lines diggin' the band.

Too bad the music doesn't come from the film. And how well dressed everyone is -- and ENJOYING themselves and the music. No riots, nothing to prove, just having fun, black and white alike.

Jo Jones was such an incredible drummer!! So smooth and classy, too.

@perryjthomas I just uploaded the whole song on here a month or two ago. Just type in Count Basie I Got Rhythm and you should see a video that says "Count Basie Orchestra - I Got Rhythm feat. Lester Young".

Amazing :)

Okay, I don't think I could recognize Stuff Smith. Can you tell me at what points he and Teddy Bunn show up in the clip. The band is really cookin' on this piece, and so's the audience.

Big news.............apparently Bill Savory, a recording engineer of the 1930s and 1940s DID record all or part of this concert! One of these days we'll hear what we've only seen for sooooooo many decades. See the Jazz Museum of Harlem's web site, and the NY Times for additional info.

Makes me wish I lived in a time when white and black people shared such joy together in rhythm.

Unfortunately, I think this was an isolated affair back in the day. I think we have a better chance of coming together now:)
