Good link.

Stevie Ray on the sax?

Interesting thing to me - Barney Kessel, a legend in his own right, who played with Oscar Peterson and Sonny Rollins, and Charlie Parker, was made to hide the fact that he was a white man playing with black musicians in this film. Strange times the 40's were.

Lester Young. I used to work with a woman whose great aunt was a companion of Lester's. After the bars in KC closed the musicians would show up at their place for an after hours jam. I so wish I could have been there for just one night.

She has one clear voice. Like fine Tiffany Crystal in sound.

Awesome. Thanks subby!

Thanks for sharing! That was fantastic!

For jazz lovers, you might be interested in this site: http://www.jazzonthetube.com/
If you plug in your email into their site they send you a link to a jazz video everyday. They've turned me on to a lot of great, classic jazz videos.

BTW, I have no affiliation with them whatsoever... just an unsolicited recommendation....

vossiewulf: You will be measurably cooler after having watched that. No, really, I measured it with my calibrated coolio caliper, and it says I am 3.27 coolios cooler now.


Nobody has ever been cooler than Sid Catlett or Lester Young.

Best link on fark in weeks... Thank you.

Nice, well done subby. +1

Pretty decent lindy to go with the music. Good link.

Is there a cooler name in jazz than Illinois Jacquet?

More +1s for subby. Nice jorb.

Pretty decent lindy?


That's not even CLOSE to a good lindy

What a triple lindy may look like...

Very cool subby ... Thanks

No no no, for a "single" lindy this video was good. I'm not counting the epic Triple Lindy in the mix - it's just too much!

I don't even listen to jazz.. but this was incredible.

Ahh, the good old days, even wiggers had sense of shame then

I've got that film on a DVD at home so I've seen it before, but kudos to subby for posting something great like this in the music section. We need more stuff like this and less trolly, idiotic headlines.

Fate Marable
Kid Ory
Muggsy Spanier

Jazz has even cooler names than baseball and that's saying something.

After the bars closed, most musicians went to "The Underground" in KC. Assuming it's still allowed to operate.

That's one magical cigarette!

Sweet.


but i u want to see lindy hop, step inside.

There's lots of good blues vids, but this is my favorite; for what it's worth.

Yes, the video was indeed very satisfying. But, I thought coolness was measured in megafonzies.

Subby, out yourself so I can give you a kiss.

For what it's worth, I've tried posting at least a dozen things in the music tab that were in a similar cool vein, but none has been greenlit. Glad this one was.

Great, great find and submission, subby.

Thanks.

Very cool. Proof that good soulful music transcends time.

Sax player in the opening shot with sideways mounted 'gansta style' mouthpiece was a bonus.

A thousand collios = 1 megafonzie
I think it's metric or something

"For what it's worth, I've tried posting at least a dozen things in the music tab that were in a similar cool vein, but none has been greenlit. Glad this one was."

I hear ya. So have I, and none were greenlit. So I stopped trying.
