Lost my father at the beginning of the month. And I’ll never forget the first time he played this for me. Said it made him not fear death, he could see himself marching to heaven’s gates while this was playing. March on King I love and miss you 🙏🏽💚🕊️
Hah…just came here from a YT channel reading a young Nazi German tank driver memoir of his retreat out of France, and he noted that he really liked Tiger Rag and In The Mood, which “spoke to him” and which they weren’t allowed listen to in Germany itself, but still played at some Vichy French bars. So seems like the appeal was pretty widespread.
@@Itried20takennames Read the same book (although this time listened to it on UA-cam) and searched for rag jazz 1944 Germany and ended up here! Not all soldiers or tank men were Nazis!! Very few of them actually were. They were simply conscripted men or volunteers. He speaks about his distaste for the Nazi Party. A line needs to be drawn under this. Sorry just had to say, no disrespect. It is important.
The reason to live and breathe. This is my favourite about Louis - listen to where he rhythmically place his notes at the end. In stunned every time I hear this, since I first heard this on TV w my father decades ago. There is almost nothing in this world that is perfect - but this may be one of them
peter lederbauer what are you talking about? Louis was already a living legend at this point and one of the biggest names in show business! Jazz was the music at the time and Louis was it’s god!
Even though I love the Maple city four rendition, this one was great too. Not as a jumpy version to dance to, but one to really appreciate and slow down to enjoy.
In Venezuela back in 1930 playing this song was mandatory to be accepted to play in a venue (generally the gigs were organized with musicians that haven't played together before), so the phrase "matar un tigre" ("to kill a tiger" as a way to say that someone was going to play later that day in a venue) came from this song.
You tuned out after the first minute right? Listen to the whole thing.

@@groovestix He/she has the point though. The music is too dense, done for the sake of showing up techniques and virtuosity at the expanse of musicality. I myself much prefer Jelly Roll Morton's version.

This is a certified hood classic

I like how he doesn't even bother trying to play fast.
and after 82 years, how fresh does this sound? fantastic!!!
I wish mainstream music today had soul like this
listen to bladee
back when music had key changes
It’s not music nowadays, it’s muzak
Louis was such a good presenter on top of being a great musician.
After almost 90 years this sound does still fresh ever and ever!
GENIUS MUSICAL TALENT. Thank you Mr Louis Armstrong.

Pop's was awesome, Thank God for film and audio recordings or this would have never been heard.
Who's still listening in 1940 ?

jibsmokestack1 WHOOSH!
Do you have a time machine?
Omg thank you for making my laugh out loud
I don't know who was listening in 1940, but in 2021, I'm definitely listening.
My grandpa flew on B-24 bombers in WWII and his pilot loved this song so much, he named their bomber the 'Tiger Rag'
Holy Smokes!
It's been 88 years and it's still awesome. Gotta love Satchmo. 🎺
amazing virtuousity with an incredibly unique "fat" bell-like sound from his trumpet
This is the version from Ken Burns Jazz :) been looking all over for this
Priceless video.
Dear god I love this.
Great Peace of Art
Tatum's 1933 version = GREAT!! Not just the piece, but the whole thing!
(And Louie's was GREAT, too!!)
@@You-Toober nice job finishing that guys sentence🤣
this is great
Amazing!

Thanks for posting ✌

Try to watch documental jazz by Ken Burns and learn how Amstrong nailed his time, how generous was with others musicians, and really he was the Best ❤
Thank you for this history. Right now - I love the LSU Tiger Band version.
John Bradley Clemson plays this most iconically
@@Pavement_in_VX not even close
ok-one more thing to look up
What a showman!
the incredible satchmo.
Always faster than his shadow (of the past), the gypsy.
The time when music was more about fun then money
precious
when you realize your great grandparents were cooler than you are
Wow!!
A great Nick LaRocca classic composition

The fight song for my Clemson Tigers!
¡Divino!
that tiger got him god damn
Syd Deal High fuckin heat!
2022 year of the tiger 🐅
A person could get light headed holding those notes that long
genio inmortalllll
How are you doing today?
Hang on- that don’t look like no cornet!
That's because it isn't a cornet. Mr. Armstrong says in his comments before his solo that it is a Selmer trumpet.
Let ‘er rip boys! A-one… a-two…
Ни одного русского комментария!!!!!плохо!очень плохо!!!!это бог!!!!!!

And the lemon in the bag played the tiger rag

Louis Armstrong's voice sounds like Bryan Doyle Murray.
What tempo is the beginning
who is the clarinet player?
¿Quién más está aquí por El Cuartico Podcast?
Satchmo!!
Raaag
Anybody knows about his horn? I don't understand why he use this valve positions... 🤣
It's a Selmer trumpet custom made for him.
The old mill pond, bimbos initiation
Никаких нот ге нужно.
and all because the cheif loves us
I’m definitely not a jazz fan. This just sounds like cacophonous bunch of noise to my ears.

Then you should check out the other Copenhagen recording,they actually have vocal and a nicer melody
