It was, indeed, a wonderful world with Louis in it.
I'm primary a metal musician, but I've grown to appreciate the masters in each genre of music of which these 2 definately are.
/thanks for posting this, smitty

Jack and Louis-2 greats that were even greater together!
Nice find, subby!

Wonderful find, subby. :D

Wow--that was great, and I don't even like jazz all that much.

Some hot, nerdy 50's chicks in that audience too!

Very cool.

The crowd seemed pretty tame, especially when compared to the near-riot that broke out two years before at the end of Duke Ellington's set.

WTF @ the chick at 8:45. She was wiggin' out on some bad shiat.

Man... things got a little damp for the chick at 4:23. I think that is what's happening anyway. I've never caused a woman to do things like that.

PressPlayOnTape: Man... things got a little damp for the chick at 4:23. I think that is what's happening anyway. I've never caused a woman to do things like that.

I thougth the same thing.

She starts at 3:11 and goes until 8:45. Either a 5 minute plus orgasm, or multiple.

Broktun

Good thing he didn't do anything too crazy. Wouldn't want the white folk to lose their minds.

Is it me or does song #2 sound a lot like modern grindcore if you replace the horns with guitars?

The Satch is stoned, lolz

Bravo.

Full of awesome and win and any other superlatives that match awesome and win.

Damn, I was born too late.
I'd love to see a Satchmo biopic someday, as long as it was done right.

Man, that's good stuff.

Is that Strangelove at 2:20?

From Jazz on a Summer's Day? Nice one!

Li'lPete: Man, that's good stuff.

Is that Strangelove at 2:20?

We cannot allow a jazz music gap!

Massa Damnata: Good thing he didn't do anything too crazy. Wouldn't want the white folk to lose their minds.

It's called "listening". You have to shut-up to do it.

Somehow I get the feeling that he got to sample all the different flavors of women out there...

4:19 I think that chick is doing the 'I'll have what she's having' scene.

What do you think "Jazz" stands for....??

These are two killer records, as I'm sure the rest are too. I get shivers during the opening drum cadence to "Blues March"...also check out Blakey's Paris 1958 record. Good stuff.

GoodasGold

Not to mention "Giant Steps" by Coltrane, "Shape of Jazz to Come" by Ornette Coleman or "Jazz in Sihlouette" by Sun Ra...

Jazz sucks.

does anyone else wank on miles at newport 58 as much as me? thats got to be one of the greatest jazz records ever.

The guy that landed on the moon also played jazz?



/jk

It's fun watching repressed white kids let it all out in those old clips. That's years of uptight sexual repression beinbg let go in minutes.

Oh, and the music was really good.

Existential Angsty: They had colored video in 1958?

They did. Colour videotape was introduced, in fact, in 1958.
But I'd say that was shot on film, obviously. Which had had full colour capabilities since Technicolor in the 30s and was starting to finally get cheap and popular by the mid-50s.

Broktun

Seriously. That was almost as much fun to watch as the show itself.

/You know where I'll be

Aunt Bea @ 2:21!

I live in Newport, and you'll never guess what the field that the Jazz and Folk festivals took place in for so long is now.

/two apartment complexes. They have truly paved paradise to put up a parking lot.

Jazz sucks.

No, YOU suck.

Pure, unadulterated greatness.

calculator13: Jazz sucks.

Get Bent troll! Please enlighten us with your musical tastes. Difficulty: Musical innovation.
There will be no one on earth that can play like Satchmo. Im just grateful we live in an age where we can still enjoy it in recordings.
