Bless you 1964Mbrooks for restoring this "Gem" to U tube. It was a crime to be removed...................Boys and girls it DO NOT get any better than this. Mercy.
D. Russell Connor, in his discography, "Benny Goodman--Listen to His Legacy", lists this performance from an appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show on June 19, 1960. He credits John Markham (not Shelly Manne) as the drummer and John Mosher on bass, in addition to the musicians named in the information section above. Connor also indicates that four other tunes were performed on that program.
While the focus may rightly be on the Quartet, credit is due the guitarist in the backing band, who to my ear is doubling Benny's riff at the beginning of the chorus after Red's solo 2:15. Phenomenal performance - especially given Benny's physical state by this period. More than musical; truly inspirational.
It's not Stan Levey either. But whoever it was he did what he was supposed to. i detected Jerry Dodgion holding alto in the background. Thanks for this clip, live Jazz is the best!
Is this Benny's group with Red as a guest or the other way around? Red was touring and working with a group of his own for several years, even backing SInatra in Australia in 1959.
The way Red Norvo and Benny Goodman are getting a kick out of each other’s musicianship is just amazing!
The performance is phantasmagorical. The musicians make it look so easy.
The swing just reaches right inside and raises your spirits.
Love it
Benny rocked that solo. Very tight group. Would have loved to hear John Bunch jump in for a solo.
Totally agree

This combo couldn't have been any tighter. Musical magic! Thanks for the post.

I don't see a quartet. I see six musicians playing and about a half dozen more in the background.
Wyble was enjoying himself. He was one of the greatest!
@geigenmarie Because of his smile, while all the marvelous shredding. I chuckled when i saw it.
Just kickin!
Red is actually playing a xylophone, here.
No
The great Jimmy Wyble on guitar.
Equally at ease... at that tempo!
@clarinettistwalt- They recorded those same duet parts as far back as 1947 (for Capitol, with Mel Powell on piano).
You and "clarinetistwalt" seem to ignore Jimmy Wyble on the "duet parts"...
biscutsdad I stand corrected, thanks. It was a unison trio in the original (if I recall correctly, piano, vibes, clarinet, but not the guitar).

JAZZ SHOW.....M A R A V I L L O S O !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.................
