Incredible chops for a 62 year-old horn player, who played 300 nights a year until very close to the end. And every show he gave what we see here - 100%. If I could get one note right for every 100 Louis blew, I would be happy. We won't see his like again. I think it was Benny Green who said "Anyone can learn what Louis Armstrong knows about music in a few weeks. No one could learn to play like him in a thousand years."
Classic jazz. Louis is so good, yet humble. Observe how he gives each of his fellow players a turn in the spotlight. Music is to be shared. Louis invented the jazz solo, but not just so he could receive all the plaudits. Love him forever!
I love music... and although i am 16 years old and i normally hear hip hop and techno, this is a great music! louis armstrong is one of the best musicers i have ever seen... (ps. maybe my english is bad because i come from germany)
"Musicers" - great word. Reminds me of what Armstrong contemporary Sidney Bechet called musicians - "musicianers." I think he just liked how that sounded.
Great song by him.. But I will forever be touched by his song "What a wonderful world". That song has meaning and passion... I love louis.. Wish he was here with us today to teach these new "dogs" about what music really is!
I heard my first jazz record when I was 16. It was a very scratched 78 played on a windup record player. I am 68 now but still remember the kick I got out of listening to muscrat ramble for the first time.
On this day in 1961 {October 15th} Louis Armstrong performed "Muskrat Ramble" on the CBS-TV program 'The Ed Sullivan Show'... The song was originally recorded in 1926 by Louis Armstrong and his Hot Five... It was composed by the Hot Five's trombone player, Edward 'Kid' Ory... Two covered versions have charted; the McGuire Sisters {#10 in 1954} and Freddy Cannon {#54 in 1961}... And Harry Connick, Jr. also covered it in his 1979 album 'Pure Dixieland'...
WOW. That was mindblowing. It's hard to believe that this was shot just 8 years before I was born. God, I'm old. None the less, what an AWESOME performance!!
WOW! This is from a two-part German TV show, "The Satchmo Story"...it was filmed May 15, 1962 and aired on October 3 (Part 2 was filmed the following day and aired May 16). I have waited to see clips from this special for years because it featured Pops playing some stuff he didn't play with the All Stars anymore ("Dippermouth Blues," "Mahogany Hall Stomp" and the already posted incredible clip of "Canal Street"). Whatever you have of this, please post it!
That's very inspirational! I hate when people give up on their interests when they become seniors because they think they are going to die soon. It is never too late!
Thank you for getting this clip up on here, to see Armstrong in 1962 playing this with a controlled fury is amazing. He claimed he wrote the tune, though it is attributed to Kid Ory, and Sidney Bechet reckoned it was an old tune of Buddy Bolden's, called 'The Old Cow Died And The Old Man Cried'. Armstrong, Ory, Lilian Hardin, Johnny St. Cyr and Johnny Dodds first recorded this tune on 26th February 1926 in Chicago. Who is on the t-bone in this? He's damn good too!
Louis' soloing here is in the highest register where even playing a simple scale will test the stamina of the average trumpet player. (I've been there, worn the t-shirt - gave up). But it's SO much more than that: if the notes of the scale are like uncooked spaghetti - hard and inflexible - Louis microwaves them into steaming hot, bendy, tasty twirls covered in bolognaise sauce...
@LucilleBall861911 > Right you are! When I need some get-up-and-go really bad I listen to his 1938 Big Band recording of Hoagy Carmichael's "Jubilee". My goodness that is one inspiring 'marching' tune!
Its definitely Trummy Young (who was sideman to Dizzy and Parker) His style and tone is unmistakeable.Teagarden was sophisticated, melodical. Trummy is mor a frontlne agressive player,also wonderful,powerful.
Oh i see you're also 16 now :D Are you still so much interested in jazz? I just discovered Louis Armstrong and also jazz, because I had to research things about him for my music class. And now I'm so impressed, because that was really music, people had had ideas! If you compare this with what some people today call music you really get angry :D (I mean that 'music' where someone all the time says how much fun he has got in the club and with girls) ..sorry for my miserable english I'm german ;)
At some point in his career Louis started bringing along a stack of 40 white handkerchiefs to every concert, used to wipe his face and brow throughout the show. Occasionally one of the tapes will catch him tossing a damp one into the open piano or elsewhere and pick up a fresh one from the pile.
"And it's one, two, three, what are we fighting for? Don't ask me I don't give a damn Next stop is Vietnam. And it's five, six, seven, open up the pearly gates, Well there ain't no time to wonder why, Whoopie! We're all gonna die!"
fyi down by the riverside is an old song... 'negro spiritual' if u will. the timing here seems to match with that song more or less, with Louis jazzing it up and putting a whole lot on top of it of course =)
Compare this to Armstrong's version from the 20's. This is more uptempo and swings hard unlike the old version which has a more "umpa" 1 2 feel. I guess it's 2/4 time compared to 4/4 time.

Pops and Trummy! What an absolutely formidable brass team. I love this!
Love that bass solo. I'm 72 and hope to be able to learn that technique before I die. Really great version (early Louis can't be beat).
hi are you 85
Hope you got too

Brings up an emotion that today's music can't make you feel... absolutely wonderful
Agree with you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When I heard the Muskrat Ramble for the first time I automatically started singing the Vietnam song. Apparently i'm not the only one! :)
high quality band at its finest wish I could have seen them live but before my time !
Saw this band in concert 1955 Manchester Free Trade Hall.
DAMN!! Lucky stiff!! I'm jealous... @@@julianwright5359
Awsome !🆒👍😃🎵🎺

Beautifull, can't help myself but to listen it over and over again.
Best version of this song is on Symphony Hall with Big Sid, Jack Teagarden, etc. Now a 2cd reissue with the whole concert!

The guy on clarinet gets a kick out of it too.
Today it suddenly struck me as really creepy that my entire music collection consisted of virtually nothing but dead guys
Join the Club!!
No one is truly gone as long as we remember them:)
WOW. That was mindblowing. It's hard to believe that this was shot just 8 years before I was born. God, I'm old. None the less, what an AWESOME performance!!
Hot sound quality AND a HOTTT recording
from an ETERNAL horn master
Smokin ala '62!!
I also play trumpet and Louis Armstrong is my idol.No one else will ever play as well as Louis Armstrong.
i am from deep south louisiana i am so glad i was raised with jazz and real blues
Once again, Babe: This is it. Long Live Louis and his Kin. Shabat Shalom
What a great performance by excellent musicians !
I went and saw a band play this in New Orleans in July. What a fun night! :)
It must have been really special to have seen Louis live,like here in 1962 in Munich!
Country Joe McDonald's original inspiration.
It's one, two, three, what are we fightin' for.
XD Down by the riverside!
Great musicians!
I love the name of this piece that conjures up the antics of a comical 1930s cartoon muskrat ambling along a river.
Great bass solo. They did a great job micing/recording/mixing him--you can actually hear the bass through the whole song!!!
AWESOME! 5stars music ,,, LOve you Louis Armstrong.
so much joy from this!
Fantastico......!

Louis, sempre grande!!
Awesome bass solo thrown in for good measure
Weren't they fantastic! YESSSSS !!!!!
Here are the lyrics for anyone who was wondering:
"Down by the riverside"
billy kyle is amazing on piano.
Astonishing!
Musik man blir glad av
Merci
the greatest of all time!
@ captaperez - the pianist is Billy Kyle. He was with Armstrong from the late forties.
o ,ne time I saw Louis in Toronto, he introduced billy kyle as liberace in Technicolor , he even had a candallabra on his piano, pretty funny stuff.
alan cobain
@@@alancobain2151: Hysterical!!! A moment to treasure your whole life...
don't forget Billy Kyle on Piano, Trummy Young on Trombone, and Danny Barcelona on Drums
EARTHWORM JIM
Earthworm Jim had this song as the ending theme :D
Get the greatness :3
Eccezionale!
Wow!!!
just wow
Dang when i listen to this my leg wont stop jumping around :o
Fantastic rendition of a jazz classic, I love it.
Btw, the bass player's hand at 2:00 reminds me of Zoidberg's, ehrm, upper lip tentacles.
awesome
They're never dead as long as we keep listening, kiddo...
I got a trumpet part of Basin street blues for my trumpet, its awsome
I believe it's Trummy Young. Never seen him, but I think that's the sound. Very underrated... beautiful accompaniment!
That down by the riverside quote/call/response is hip as shit!
👍👍👍

after listening to this you could see that satchmo had everthing years back , he could just touch it when he needed to.i mean the music.
@LucilleBall861911 > Right you are! When I need some get-up-and-go really bad I listen to his 1938 Big Band recording of Hoagy Carmichael's "Jubilee". My goodness that is one inspiring 'marching' tune!
Ol` Danny never gets a mention , but he is a ROCKIN` drummer.Spose its cos Louis is so darn Brilliant.
I agree, Trummy is the best there is. Listen for example to his highly original fills on the break. Couldn't be played better!
Trummy Young on trombone
1:47 Mercy!!
sensational. trummy is definitely underrated.
I can't believe how smoking hot the band was playing. I Think my computer is on fire,
My favorite theme in the Original Earthworm Jim was based off of this Song, I think. (The ending. At least the very beginning.
HE SANG THE LYRICS WITH BING CROSBY
The first record I ever bought. 45rpm vynil at a school jumble sale when I was 10.
When was this popular
@JustDontThinkTwice
...the reason these videos are only watched by a bunch of (awsome) twelve year olds is that old people don't know they're on here
This is how it's done, folks!
2019
I'm here from my music lesson
Its definitely Trummy Young (who was sideman to Dizzy and Parker) His style and tone is unmistakeable.Teagarden was sophisticated, melodical. Trummy is mor a frontlne agressive player,also wonderful,powerful.
Was this also a dance craze
Oh i see you're also 16 now :D
Are you still so much interested in jazz?
I just discovered Louis Armstrong and also jazz, because I had to research things about him for my music class. And now I'm so impressed, because that was really music, people had had ideas!

do you hear the strain Trummy played?
Yep! =]
Thats Definately Trummy!
Great Trombonist!
Same here (but I'm 16)
At some point in his career Louis started bringing along a stack of 40 white handkerchiefs to every concert, used to wipe his face and brow throughout the show. Occasionally one of the tapes will catch him tossing a damp one into the open piano or elsewhere and pick up a fresh one from the pile.
could you tell me who is the pianist? thanks.
The incredibly tasty Billy Kyle.
"And it's one, two, three, what are we fighting for?
Don't ask me I don't give a damn
Next stop is Vietnam.
And it's five, six, seven, open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why,
Whoopie! We're all gonna die!"
When I listen to this all I hear is I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-to-Die Rag, fucking theft McDonald.
Great Band. Who are the musicians?
to wipe all that sweat off!
Is that Barney Bigard on the stick?
fyi down by the riverside is an old song... 'negro spiritual' if u will. the timing here seems to match with that song more or less, with Louis jazzing it up and putting a whole lot on top of it of course =)

I guess the point would be that this music continues to reach new generations long after the artists are gone. I don't see that as "bitching" at all.
Van 13 sordos y creo que la cuenta seguirá.
Why does he hold that rag while he plays his trumpet?
That is Jack Teagarden on trombone.
No. It's Trummy Young
Arm an Hammer baking SODA
And the names of the other musicians?
Trummy Young Trombone, Barney Bigard Clarinet, Barrett Deems, Drums Billy Kyle Piano,
El clarinetista es, creo, Joe Darensbourg y no Barney Bigard
@@@julianwright5359: Drummer is Danny Barcelona; did anybody in history enjoy themselves more while playing music? :-)
@JustDontThinkTwice
because you are here watching them instead of making good music
1:15
There are six people hearing impaired.
Johanna... If you like jazz, I highly recommend some barbershop quartet music to you. search for Gas House Gang Muskrat Ramble here on youtube.
@JustDontThinkTwice Because Simon Cowell finished what Stock Aitken and Waterman started.
