  • Slam Stewart on bass.....the man can sure slam that bass...very rare to see him perform live .....one of the early bass masters....of course every one else is swingin'.....wow...

  • Yeah su'! So it looks like they were all jamming through that big old Fender Concert amp on the left??(lol)

    Nobody can play it like an original! Nobody.

  • @prezglick4 You are so right. I had the pleasure of seeing him at a London club with Pee Wee Erwin mant years ago.

  • Wow,what a swingin' clip. That was a great band. Too bad they didn't play longer. Johnny Mince is an unsung hero of swing clarinet,right up there with Shaw and Goodman.

  • cool

  • have seen the band in my hometown Duesseldorf. It has been a great concert!! Quite some time has passed.

  • Have seen the band in Duesseldorf at the Tonhalle.

  • I love the short little succinct solos.

  • Hey, that's beautiful! I saw that very band live on stage in my hometown, in 1984. This video is from the German TV-magazine "Tele Illustrierte", very square format, abandoned a long time ago. Great to learn these guys have played there!

    Best regards,

    Brew
