The Ben Webster Sextet from 1959 Buck Clayton - Trumpet Ben Webster - Tenor Sax Victor Dickenson - Trombone Hank Jones - Piano George Duvivier - Bass Jo Jones - Drums
Intelligent life-forms see this and decide to let humans live for another century. Planet Earth thanks you for your service, Mr. Webster, Mr. Jones et al.
Agree on Clayton. However, "Little Jazz" is and has been recognized as one of the greatest Trumpet players of all time. Dizzy said that he had to go through Eldridge to be as good as he was.
so many great trumpet me you don't hear about if you don't follow it closely - clayton, roy eldridge, oran 'hot lips' page, ray nance, rex stewart, cat anderson, and my all-time favorite, cootie williams. and that's just from two bands in the 30s and 40s.
Intersting.. seen this clip many times over the years. And always read the others reactions as them being slightly bored with that performance.. you cant help comparing him to Hank Jones, obviously as you just heard Hank play.. to me Hank is far the better musician and jazz player.
Teach the next generation? Man, I'm 19 years old... I AM the next generation. Alot of us already know about this! Hahaha But okay I'll add one :-D -Austin
I meant the next generation should know the NAMES of those fabulous musos,OK lets see: there is Ben Webster Buck Clayton Joe Jones on the drums,but who is the nice Trombonist, who plays piano, and bass and who wrote the famous tune? That I call eduction,; its all important, Its great you publish the track , but I want to know who was playing. You are the next Generation I am 75
@123must - (Buck/underrated) - True. Shad Collins, Emmett Berry, Joe Thomas could be mentioned, also ... and the legacy of Bix Beiderbecke is undiminished. ... Better, this is a GREAT example of Ben Webster in his later years.
Always found that Hank Jones is one of the most underrated players.. especially when you hear him vs Ahmed.. seems to me being one underrated vs one overrated.
This song always makes me feel cool. I only wish I was half as cool as the song!

A great lesson for all jazz & blues musicians!
Buck Clayton is one of the most underrated trumpet players in the history of jazz and the same happens to Roy Eldridge, the master of Dizzy!
Agree on Clayton. However, "Little Jazz" is and has been recognized as one of the greatest Trumpet players of all time. Dizzy said that he had to go through Eldridge to be as good as he was.

A whose who of mainstream jazz- they are all obviously having a great time.
Marvelous is my comment.
No one has mentioned the GREAT Vic Dickenson.
The best ever jazz trombonist!!
Muchas gracias por compartirlo.
@mcsneedy - Bubber Miley, also, from Duke Ellington's earliest bands. Fletcher Henderson had some great trumpeters, etc., also.
Something's taking Webster over at 3:08!
YES LORD!
Watch all the members of this sextet dropping their jaws during Ahmad Jamal's amazing performance of "Darn That Dream" during this very session.

speaking of underrated players...how about Vic Dickenson on trombone?
Anybody knows where it was taped?
So great to see the grand masters playing real music. Can’t stand today’s machine music garbage.
@BillWeekly - Barney Bigard / Duke Ellington
Does Any one have the music sheet for this music. I would like to play it.
Sorry you had the names hidden, so I take every thing back ,but it was Duke Ellington who wrote the tune. Why are the names hidden?
