Yeah, in the back, Eugene "Snooky" Young. He actually talked to Johnny a couple times on the show. He told him that he had first played with Jimmy Lunceford. Then Johnny joked that Lunceford was the first musician on Earth. I'm impressed that anyone (Iolta) picked up on that. Lowando, thanks loads for sharing this with us!
can you imagine being an alien in a far distant galaxy, get this video tuned somehow and watch dizzy frog cheeks getting huge while letting creation out , dude must be thinking mmm, " humans must be cool" hahaha
I guess Doc was out this night. Snooky was ready to bring them in back in back there. Not enough is ever made about Snooky. Sideman, soloist, could play lead. Do it all. Great performance.
I'm grateful this moment has been saved for history, for us, for me.
Love this great performance! One for the ages!
Wow! Dizzy could play trumpet in any style and make it sing! He could play bebop licks in any style and make them sound appropriate.
That beautiful bass sound somehow came through on my 14" mono TV in the 70's and 80's!

Night in Tunisia arranged for a James Bond movie!
Yeah, Diz, but Snooky actually plays the stratospheric end of the coda for him on Night!
Tonight Show Band was so cool then. About the time Branford Marsalis took over, it crashed. Dizzy!!!

So, "A Night In Tunisia" ends, and I'm thinking, "That is a great performance! I guess the clip will end now."
