As far as I'm concerned this is my aunt at her finest. The Christy style was so in evidence. I love it!

Brother Jack's son?! Still have all her LPs
Yes, I am her brother Jack's son. You Tube has been a genuine gift for those of us who weren't at those performances. June's style and her partnership with Bob Cooper have made a serious jazz fan out of me ever since I was a child. So many wonderful memories! Their choices of music were often so contemporary/even oblique; and the "West Coast style" always captures my attention. I think it's a "zeitgeist thing." Chet Baker, Miles, the Condoli brothers, Lou Levy...all remind me of the haunting intellectual search in the structure of the music often attributed to Chopin.
Pretty effin' great!!!!
I love Ms. Christy. Her career was based in an era where music was changing and becoming ultimately progressive while she stuck true to the style from the 30s and 40s. And I think that’s why she’s so often written off and put to the wayside.
The great Ronnie Stephenson playing drums 👍
Just in time June´s version is really the best I´ve heard. Only she would do it this way displaying all vocal possibilities she had. Thank you
June had the material by the throat, she was such a pro the band could only try to hang on, she had no fear. love listening to her. to bad they don't make em like her anymore
This is from 1965. Musical tastes were changing. And a 40 year old June Christy still delivers this timeless performance.
this is so much better then songs that come out these days
MAGNIFICENT. The orchestra and arrangements are top notch too!
The painist was the great underrated Joe Castro. A brilliant musician who along with the Maestro Duke Ellington and heiress Doris Duke established the short lived Clover label on the West Coast. Kitty White's last LP along with Joe's last LP were on the label. His son is keeping his father's legacy alive and planning to release all of those wonderful tapes recorded on the homestead at their private affairs and jam sessions. LOOK OUT !!!!!!
Great clip! June in later career sounding fabulous--wonderful!
totally knocked it out. June was a super star. she is missed
I've never heard Just in Time as a waltz before! ❤️
Favolosa!... ✨🎶🎶😮! 😘
WOW WOW WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From a mad keen 74yo Aussie fan.
She's the top. Love you June.
Fabulous June owned the show with these wonderful performances. Thanks for sharing for us!
I played on my show excerpts from her SOMETHING COOL and much more. When she redid it in Stereo there was hardly a difference, only this time it was in stereo.
Love this women's voice/instrument/phrasing....
"You Came A Long Way from St. Louis" is awesome!
This is so great of you to post this. June was at the end of her recording career and, on her final Capitol album, the impression is of a diminished voice--I thought, always, because of poor engineering in the studio because soon after I saw here her in Chicago with Kenton and she was flawless. As we can see here, she is at the fullest power of her career, certainly more animated and forceful than ever before, and absolutely gorgeous. A great joy that she is still selling records big time.
AWESOME!!!!
Wonderful, wonderful singer that I discovered on UA-cam. Great voice but....., if only that clip was in color, what a dress. June was just great!
Such a great and beautiful voice. Her delivery has a wonderful and riveting melody all its own. Love this Lady. Thank you so much for sharing.
Dudley Moore was a great jazz pianist. In addition to being a great comedian.
Dud was a Doctor of Music (Oxford)
great song selection ..
what a woman :')
Thanks for posting, great to see.
Great to see June at this point in her career, and so well-recorded. I gather there isn't a great deal of video material around of her at this time... but Channel ATN7 in Australia has (or had) a full show taped for a planned 1-hr telecast (never used) from May, 1963, at the Sydney Chevron-Hilton hotel (accompanied by Joe Castro). She sang all three songs featured here, plus a seldom-heard "One Life to Live". Now THAT would be a nice piece of film to find; or is it already out there somewhere?
Dudley Moore, still missing you
I assumed it was a band that she was touring with. Most musical guests on "Not Only, But Also" played with the Dudley Moore Trio, but June Christy was the exception. I agree with you that the big band was very good, it looks like they were so big that they had to put some of them in the studio audience.
Positive I like June’s more experimental work with Kenton but felt later her career fading. She s in fine form here ,she and Chris Connor seem forgotten only Anita remembered
Are there any videos of Chris ? I did an album dedicated to her on Universal years ago .
I think most people noticed. Not Only, But Also starred Peter Cook and Dudley Moore.
There's a closer affinity between June and Anita O'Day whom she replaced in the Kenton Band. Anita just shades it for me but they are both astonishing. This is a great clip you have found and it's her best on YT as Shwarwenka says.
Lesley Gore cited June Christy and Anita ODay as influences Lesley always wanted to sing in the jazz style and even performed Junes Something Cool at the Rainbow Room in New York
@ALJarman1 I have never heard of that one, but would love to see it. I have been looking for the late 1950 Playboys Penthouse episode with June Christy and I think Dave Brubeck was also on that show.
Has anybody ever seen the June Christy episode of Playboy's Penthouse? I think Dave Brubeck was also on that episode. It's strange that this episode never turns up.
It'a played on UA-cam...June Christy at the Playboy...
Wonderful. Could someone comment on the Nancy Wilson/June Christy connection? I mean all the geniuses take the good stuff and incorporate it into what they're doing. And I'm not trying to initiate a a "who's better than" discussion. But I just wonder what their interaction was.
June great as ever! Looks like the great Kenny Clare on drums. Bet he was surprised to see Eric Morcambe on piano. Suppose he had been taking lessons from Andrew Preview.
Ronnie Stephenson. Sorry for the delay! 😂
The Pete & Dud "What's the Worst thing that can happen to you" sketch that's on UA-cam is from this show. The Alan O'Dale song is also from this show.
Just in Time in "3/4"!
@chasspeed : I don't think many people have heard about the Sydney taping; I was fortunate enough to be there when it was recorded, so you can imagine I was hanging on Channel 7 screening it (they had announced it as a forthcoming one-hour special). However, eventually they telecast just one song, cut into a variety show months later. All the rest -- top-class Christy!! -- may well be sitting around in a vault somewhere, if it hasn't been trucked up to the local tip. What I wouldn't give.....
Pont blank, there is no Nancy Wilson/June Christy connection; other than the fact that both recorded for Capitol Records but at (2) different eras that did not overlap. Their styles were totally different and Wilson never tried--nor ever had---to copy Christy or any other female singer of the day, which is why Wilson still remains part of jazz and west coast pop royalty till this day.
same goes for Dudley too.
Thanks for that information. Does their delivery seem similar to you? Artists change over time. But in this clip they could have almost been sisters in the way they perform.
It's the great Kenny Clare on Drums but what the hell is Eric Morcambe doing on piano?
Ronnie Stephenson. Sorry for the delay! 😂
