Larry Kart Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Sorry if I'm duplicating, but check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBNzbQIA5HA Buck Clayton, Vic Dickenson, Paul Quinichette, Billy Taylor, and Mundell Lowe playing the living snot out of "Billie's Bounce" from maybe 1956. Anyone know who the drummer and bassist are? I love the way the horns play the head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Kart Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Again, sorry if this has been posted before, but here's a very in-form Lester Young from 1950 with Bill Harris, Ray Brown, Buddy Rich, and a pianist who looks very familiar but whose name escapes me. The young Hank Jones? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bhql0clzqEM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The film was included in the double DVD 'The Greatest Jazz Films Ever' which has been discussed on various threads here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BERIGAN Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 From a film short,'The Saturday Night Swing Session' this 1938 clip features Bobby Hackett,Pee Wee Russell,George Brunies,Eddie Condon,Dave Bowman,Clyde Newcombe and Johnny Blowers. ... (more) I could see how Georg's goofin' around all the time might get on people's nerves! I thought Bobby Hackett was still playing guitar only in 1938, need to look that up.....

BERIGAN Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 If you are a fan of early jazz, you need to check this one out! From 1928, with Joe Venuti, Jimmy Dorsey, and Miff Mole showing off! Does anyone know if the drummer is Vic Berton??? I'm just blown away. Oh, and that banjo player!!!

Thrash Banjo!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjVP81wSZ4w Great stuff Berigan. Thanks for pointing it out. I think that is most likely Vic Berton. BUT... I think the trombonist is Tommy Dorsey and not Mole. I was surprised to see Mole mentioned after I watched the video. I'd bet on Dorsey. Jimmy Dorsey did his thing on the changes to Tiger Rag. TD (or Mole if I'm wrong) on something similar to How Come You do me like You Do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TD (or Mole if I'm wrong) on something similar to How Come You do me like You Do. Harold, now you got me wondering! Listening to it again, the Trombonist sounds a LOT like TD, especially the way he finished. But....it just doesn't look like him to me! Check out this photo of Miff(Not a whole lot to choose from) Doesn't this look like the trombonist in the clip? Bushy eyebrows, slight build, hairline similar, and the dark framed glasses. Can't find a photo of Tommy in the 20's, but here is one semi decent one.... Looks to me like thinner eyebrows, pointy nose, and larger build(But this photo is from much later) Perhaps Tommy Dubbed Miff's part, just to confuse folks nearly 80 years later! Oh, from googling, it appears this flim clip is found as an extra on the DVD for the 1929 Film Broadway Melody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
