    When I first saw this video, I was shock,because I didn't know he could play the piano.NICE!!!. Today you have entertainer's
    Winning 20 Grammy's and can't even humm.let alone play piano. It seems that
    Generation always played. piano. May GOD bless him

    Considering that there was not much of a budget for shows on public TV at the time. This is still a gem. Jimmy Rushing being interviewed is a rarity..playing the piano.. a bonus!

    Rushing, Basie, and Billie were the core soundtrack of my childhood. I return here to feel good.

    I heard Jimmy Rushing at the old Blue Note with Zoot Sims backing him up. He did a "Blue Skies" that I can never forget, aggressive and almost violently rhythmic, so different from the Bing Crosby version.

    I love Jimmy Rushing's singing. I first heard him on Count Basie records. This show is a gem. Wonderful to see Ralph J. Gleason in action too. I'm reading one of his books now. You can tell he loved this music. He wrote about music about as well as anyone.

    Jimmy Rushing is my man since I discovered him, more than 30 years ago. My favorite jazz singer after Louis, he also was an oustanding pianist. This Jazz Casual movie is absolute greatness. 30 minutes of pure magic.

    I loathe the term “blues shouter.” It seems to me to diminish the wonderful and nuanced talent of Mr. Rushing. I think my favorite overall album of his would be the last one. Yes, his voice wasn’t quite the same, but he works magic with a good selection of songs. (The You and Me That Used to Be)

      I agree ...both a stylist n interpreter...just to call him a blues shouter diminishes the quality of his voice....he can wail

    • @lesvitraux
      @lesvitraux 4 роки тому

      I dunno. Some of his best songs to me, well, he seems to be crying out in a string of words in a single tone, wailing. I love it and have no problem with that being called shouting, but yeah, he does much more than that, so if the term means that belting things out was all that he did, I can understand your defense.

    14:32 was he referring to a #iv dim.... or iv minor, or something else? I didn't know that was a regional thing.

      Trix Ain't Walkin' No More. A major online retailer sells a 7 album Rushing CD collection for $16 -- a super deal -- and it contains one of the albums that has the song.

      Thank God Rushing’s truly wonderful performance of this song was recorded before the PC era came along.
