How not to love such beauty as Manouche

This is one of the best versions of Limehouse blues I have ever heard in my life man it’s great to hear clarinet guitar piano and the drums what a fantastic lineup

ANOTHER FINE EXAMPLE OF MASTERS AT THEIR CRAFT

[@MattMarriott]

Very true. That said I think that the Clarinet coming in a semitone higher than the band was probably the most amusing moment. Band playing in G (starting on the C9), Clarinet playing over Ab (over a Db9)... Luckily the band adapted after the eggy first few bars and soon turned it around. Communication breakdown I suspect!

This has got to be one of the best piano solos in jazz history, next to anything Bud Powell, Barry Harris, Garner, Teddy Wilson , Oscar , Fatha, and Tatum

WOW that was amazing. I wouldn't mind marrying that percussionist.

[@Joop455]

Zo'n swingtijger heb ik hier nog niet eerder gehoord !!

[@miriamc2197]

Wow maravilloso pero debo reconocer que mi parte favorita es la parte de percusión XD

[@prycerobertson4695]

The first half of this performance is taken from "Rhythm Futur".

[@MattMarriott]

Lovely piano work, particularly 3.22 onwards.

[@peterbeets]

Thanks so much!

[@ervingarai1658]

disches blues

[@Armov]

lol that clarinet player is trolling

[@JugglingForCake]

Omg that sounds so much like the Simpsons

[@vernonbigsby]

that was great! the piano player could have been watching the others to see when to come in/out also his timing went off over the drum solo, but hey! who cares ;-)
bravo!!

[@enzolo2420]

peter is one of the worlds best xD every "mistake" at this level is nothing but joy and entertainment. i guess!
btw cool picture

[@jarmovanuddel5999]

How is his timing off during the percussion solo? I think it's remarkable how he hears right away that Dan Levinson starts in a different key, and tries to guide everyone into getting it right. Amazing pianist.
