I'm so glad to have grown up in a time of regular TV where movies like this would appear from time to time. The death of channel surfing means so many people missed out on opportunities to see classic movies they might not otherwise be exposed to.
I remember seeing The Court Jester the first time just by chance one night on TV. I'd never heard of it or Danny Kaye before. That was an experience up there with the first time I saw Raiders of the Lost Ark;).
It's amazing to hear Bach played with a jazz flair. I heard years ago a concert where many different groups played Bach's compositions in the genre of jazz.
Musicians play music. Not too fussy about genres. ‘Moving Violations’ a Vermont contradance band has a lovely bit of Vivaldi tweaked to dance pace. Postmodern Jukebox has made a decade long living taking pop hits of the day and recasting them into the stylings of decades previous. Gatekeepers grumble about it, music lovers go for it.
We grew up listening to Classical music with mum , big band music with mum and Dad plus Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, Bing Crosby (not a fan) then came rock and roll. Through psychedelia, Leonard Cohen etc. I finished up going to Heavy Metal concerts with my son. Now I listen to whatever takes my fancy at the time.
And then there was music. There is no harm in knowing different types of music. It all came together to make whatever sound you want it to be. I grew up taking piano lessons as a kid. The nuns taught me well.
It's a fun, lighthearted movie with some wonderful music and musicians, and some inside jokes, including having Benny Goodman, "the king of swing," pretending he can't swing at all. And Danny Kay is a treat, as always.
Wonderful juxtaposition of stuffy musicologist being introduced to lively African American roots in boogie woogie and jazz. While the gentleman played a window washer his character could play a mean piano, astounding the learned Ivory tower fixtures with all the branches on music not discussed in the classrooms and seminars.
Awesome. I've been obsessing lately over how this was forty years in my past when I was absorbing Punk and Industrial and Van Halen and Michael Jackson was on the Radio (In fact I'm pretty sure there was still a Big Band radio station), but now Ministry and the Dead Kennedys are 40yrs in my own kid's distant past. I can't get it out of my head that Run DMC and Talking Heads are as far-distant to my kids as Tommy Dorsey and Charley Barnett is to me...
Every day , i seach the spirit of Jazz ! Is-it too late for me ? Too late for my memory ?... The piano is not before me ! and my memory will be out when my hands would find the piano-bar.
Jimmy Dorsey did well not to move with the beat. He seemed to be fighting that temptation most while he was playing. Pretty good actor as well as a clarinetist.
@@stephenwoehr6500 Gracias por su respuesta. No tiene por qué sentirlo, pues es un error que todos podemos cometer alguna vez. Además, le diré que, como clarinetista, a mí me gusta más Jimmy Dorsey que Benny Goodman.
No. He said (correctly) it’s from Grieg’s incidental music for Ibsen’s play, “Peer Gynt” (it’s not a symphony - although it is played by an orchestra. Grieg took a lot of his incidental music from the play and used it in a Suite of pieces) 😃
Wish they would off treated the black guys with a lil more respect 😂😂😂all the white guys in suits, but the black guys with all the talent clothes look dirty…. They wrote them the most ignorant sounding lines wtf
A Song is Born, not to be confused with A Star is Born. Staring Danny Kaye, Virginia Mayo, plus a Lot of jazz greats. The gentleman playing the clarinet is Benny Goodman. It's a remake of the movie, Ball of Fire, with Gary Cooper and Barbara Stanwick 5:27
If my piano teachers had used boogie woogie, ragtime, and jazz to teach me, instead of the boring usual stuff, I'd have actually learned to play the piano.
Well don't fool yourself because that kind of music would be very difficult to start with! The rhythms are difficult to master, the two hands coordinating together is a complex process. I agree a lot of material for beginners is boring and could be taught in a more creative way, but even very simplified versions of boogie woogie or ragtime would be very hard for a beginner to do and anyway a super simplified version would be boring anyway!
Trust me: boogie is my final goal to achieve on my piano journey however the rhythm is craaaazy hard. Even with two fingers, really. The bass seems fair lyeasy (four notes) but the rhythm makes it hard to play. Get a good teacher who makes the “boring” stuff interesting. I play bot Mozart and Einaudi, Beethoven and cute Disney stuff. Mixing the syles keeps your motivation high while improves your technique. For me it’ll take years but I love playing so much I know I don’t care, with enough practice I will reach that level. You can do it too. Just never give up!
I taught piano for thirty years and have been a working pro for sixty years and the syncopation in jazz, ragtime and boogie woogie is easy to fake as a pro but far more difficult to sight read. So, I agree with the previous comments.
I met Joel Grey at a hotel I worked in in Palm Springs. Lorna Luft was perdorming there at the time. Lorna is Liza's half sister. The younger employees had never seen cabaret.

That's a cavalcade of character actors. Felix Bressart, J. Edward Bromberg, Hugh Herbert, Ludwig Stossel, O. Z. Whitehead...and Benny Goodman. But the music is the only reason to view the movie.
pseudo, rhythm, intellectuals, almost seems you made those mistakes on purpose, or it could just be a medical problem. but you did get "than" correct, i see many using "then"

I grew up listening to this kind of music because my mother was Ella Fitzgeralds first pianist. I had an older mom. I was blessed.
My eyes went from brown to green

I miss this kind of comedy! Great memories to have from remembering those scrips back then. 😊
De pequeña veía estas películas los domingos, era mi cine en casa. Hermoso recuerdo!!

At least the fixtures were humble enough to take the lesson from a couple of window washers...
Quite right. Quite right. What splendid and convivial company!
Great clip. I love seeing Benny Goodman in the mix there.

This is delightful!
With Daniel Kaminsky, aka Danny Kaye. Kaye was also a classical music fan and has been a guest conductor many times and did so competently.

No sé qué estaría haciendo Jimmy Dorsey en aquel momento, pero Benny Goodman hizo bien en no seguir tocando y limitarse a escuchar.

You're right, @@wandajames143 . Sorry for the mixup. Still, it was good acting..
Anitra's Dance is a Norwegian symphony by the Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg. Fun to hear the song as a boogie woogie song.❤❤❤
They said Ibsen! 😂

How did you recognize this music as a classical piece.
@@GREG62944 My parents played a lot of Edvard Grieg at home. And we live near Norway, so there was a lot of music by Grieg.
Absolutely fascinating
I love this movie..LOL!

Bach le père de toute la musique
Yet it appears that when Mozart said that (more or less) he was referring to CPE Bach, and not his father JS Bach.
