The fact that Steve Allen had the forsight to know how important Birdland was to New York Jazz and the Jazz music business.
Historic footage of the original Birdland. The building should be a landmark. It was one of the greatest cultural institutions in the country.
What a band... swinging hard. In 1968 I sat five feet away from Basie's band in a small club in Arizona. The must exciting musical event I've ever seen.
WASE PRIVELEGED TO SEE THIS GREAT ORCHESTRA AT THE CITY HALL NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE UK IN 1956. SONNY PAYNE WAS AWESOME.
What a wonderful swingin' piece of film!
We've certainly come a long way since then. Just kidding, we sure haven't. Great television, great music.
“April in Paris”. I love this song.
Incredible footage. This band was unmatched, although the announcer at the end would spend the latter part of his career trying to find one.
Looks like a young Gene Rayburn to me.
THAT IS GENE RAYBURN HOST OF MATCH GAME.
Most enjoyable. I've heard of 🐦 land I ev en had vynle. But to see it live . Awesome.
One more time! 🎹🎶
Completely my music. I was sixteen then, sweet memories... ❤
Thanks JAZZWAX
Wonderful!
Love 💖 I've growth with this music 🎶 and made me really open to appreciate any other kind of music up to the classic music! But swing and blues are in my blood as part of DNA 🧬
Saw Basie and this aggregation at the Pasadena Civic, maybe 1958, and the two sets consisted of the charts on “Atomic Basie” which I don’t believe had been released yet; but when it was I immediately acquired the vinyl followed eventually by the cassette followed by the CD followed by the thumb drive.
I think this is the only??? Really good clip to give the experience of what the inside of birdland was like. Sadly no Peewee.
What??? Peewee at 1:00, all the way live.
@@customkey correct. I meant introducing the band.
@@golds04 OK, I see what you mean and I concur. Peewee on the mike would've been the icing on the cake!
Would someone please state who is the drummer on this set? It is NOT Butch Miles, who came on board in I think '74 or '75 and is the most known. This dates back to '56. Was it Sonny Payne? Was it Jo Jones?
Sonny! Killin' as always.
Sonny Payne
@@Soon000 Thank you for the response.
@@kjellhogkil7875 And Thank you for responding.
Big bands were the shiznet. The orchestra was hot that evening.
Absolutely killing stuff. Anyone knows what the 2nd tune is? The shout chorus is out of this world.
ah sugar now they ar swinging
What's the name of the last tune in the clips? Thanks for uploading this clip of music history!
Assuming you don't mean One O'Clock Jump, which they open and close with, it's AK Salim's arranagement, Blee Bop Blues.
Mr. Allen, I am from the AFM local 802...do you have your union card with you?

Yes
Who is the 2nd alto near Marshall Royal ???
Bill Graham
@@philippemilanta4677 Thanks.

Joe Newman
@@craigharris9637 Hi, do you de second alto?
@@Thouveninpascal 2nd alto is Bill Graham
I can't understand why the raves about this post -- sound is absolutely awful, the music is all chopped up, and there are lots of great recordings of of the Basie band during these years. Yes, the Basie band was absolutely spectacular -- I got to hear them maybe a dozen times between about '62 and the '80s when Basie passed. But this mess doesn't come close to capturing it. Check out this broadcast from 1953, which does!
