I think the rhythm section of this band is the closest to the swing of the Basie band at that time.

I'm pretty sure the trumpet soloist at 3:28 is Billy Butterfield and not Jimmy Maxwell. Sure sounds like Billy to me.

Great tempo!

Muy genial!

The dscband is still playing toe more than 70 years

❤

He wasn't on Earth long enough. Rest in paradise, Big Sid ✨️

Delicious, reminiscent of the sessions at Squirrel Ashcraft's house. A fellow Hackett collector, someone we both know, has a 78 album of this material or some of it; perhaps a decade ago or more it turned up on CD. Thanks, DT!

Oh, how wonderful to hear Bobby in the Heidt period without constraints! He must have felt like a kid skipping school. I think we may imagine, from both this performance and the '38 Commodore Freeman date that "What's the Use" was a Hackett favourite. It's sure one of mine, and it's thrill to hear this freewheeling treatment. Borshard's vibes reflect the Rollini influence to these ears, too. Many thanks, as always!

Excellent.

Thanks so much for sharing these recordings of Zurke! It's a shame he didn't record more.

🎶💥💥💥 Awesome !!

Thanks for posting this gem and no apologies needed re the sound quality after 55 years!. A great example of the swinging music the Jazz in the Troc/WGJB musicians produced in the Clancy Hayes years (1964-69). Clancy always played banjo (rather than guitar) with the band. Can you let me know whether there are any other Clancy vocals on the tape?, I am updating his vocal discography for inclusion in his biography that will be published later this year. Again, many thanks for the post. CHJ.

Too bad George Wein, a great promoter of jazz of all kinds, chose also to play piano in this band. I guess he saved money but he really doesn't belong in this company.

Lovely performance.

Great find! I've read a lot of old electronics magazines over the last few years and they feature ads for home recording equipment, good to see some of these recordings survive.

Another of BG’s great performances. Thanks a lot!

Som vibrato lindo❤.

Zutty was my grandfather - thanks for posting this song and comments.

What a treat! Thanks!

Just saw this - what a magical moment that was...thanks for posting here, DT!

Amazing. ...Any photos of Adele dragging that harp around Manhattan??

One of Benny Goodman's best jams. 👍

Super cornetplay

Do you have any more from this session ?

Wow....I never thought I would hear this....thank You! Yes, the All Stars had just returned to New York after a six month monster tour of Europe but returned to Italy for this engagement after only one week of downtime. Louis suffered a major heart attack one day before this performance at Gian Carlo Menotti's "Festival Of Two Worlds" filmed by Ed Sullivan for his show. Louis returned home on July 3rd and was back on the road two weeks later.

Another fine nugget from your secret stash Davey. Can’t recall Mory playing with the WGJB before. Superb plus.

Wow!!!! Thank you!

Thank you for this great post, it made my night!

Wild Bill Ed Hall Georg Brunis is the best dixieland group e ver😅

Super

Gene had of course updated his sound from the original Chicagoans days, but still some Krupaisms remained -- there's no mistaking him. That can be said for all of these jazz voices, though, right? My theory is that today's jazz musicians, irrespective of instrument, have absorbed the sound of so many players, that they don't have the distinctive sound of a, say, Teagarden or Freeman or Russell or Sullivan. It's great to hear Jack doing his old water glass trick on "Blues for Today." Thank you for this!

As always, your channel distinguishes itself as one that offers the rare treats! Vic, from my trombone Top Three (along with TD and Big Tea), is an artist I can never hear enough of, and this track is new to me -- a real delight. The rhythm section sure makes a difference from the original Lester side -- which is of course no surprise.

Thanks for this great post!

Thank you so much!

Thank You!

Pythian is 135 W. 70th St …UWS. Today, luxury condos.

Thank you!

Thank you so much!

Thank You. Great art for my heart. Donald in Sweden

Zutty was my grandfather, my mother's dad. I knew him but never heard him play live. Thanks for the post.

Brillant wie immer, aber....es gibt nicht mehr....leider

Fine especially Slam

Caceres sounds a little bit like Edmond Hall, Joe Marsala is more close to Goodman and Pee Wee Russell sounds like Pee Wee Russell

Great jam session. Saw a couple in NYC many years ago.

My father worked for standard fruit. The Vaccaro family. And Blaise de Antoni

Bunny Berrigan's incandescent performance of I Can't Get Started almost a century ago will inspire brilliant musicians like these as long as there is jazz. Ranks with Stardust, in my book, at the very top pop performances of all time.

Oh, also, in the description you have Eddie Miller listed as both tenor saxophonist and guitarist.

We were sitting around listening to this last night and thinking, how great would it have been to be able to just drive down the hill to Hollywood, walk into Billy Berg's Vine Street Club, and watch these guys play live?

How did I never notice before that the pianist is just doing a Count Basie tribute?
