  • thats music! thank you for posting this!!

  • Fantastic. A piece of Americana.

  • Yeah, in the back, Eugene "Snooky" Young. He actually talked to Johnny a couple times on the show. He told him that he had first played with Jimmy Lunceford. Then Johnny joked that Lunceford was the first musician on Earth. I'm impressed that anyone (Iolta) picked up on that.

    Lowando, thanks loads for sharing this with us!

  • Snooky.

  • Dizzy was AMAZING!! I am fortunate to have met him several times over the years he played Chicago. KInd, generous and just a fantastic musician!

    Thanks to Johnny Carson for having such amazing artists on his show and thanks for posting this clip!

  • Dizzy> how sweet is this. I'l never forget the look he gave me when i pointed my camera lens at him in '79.

  • I love this!! Who is the bassmann?

  • Thanks for posting!
