Benny Goodman Quartet 1937

I'm old, and I'm glad, 'cause this is what we heard when we turned on the radio, all the time! And more, so much more great music.

YES This was the best music ever ! not like the loud trash of now ,today they think slam and hammer loud is music No .

That ending! With brushes, no less.

トムとジェリーみたいね

The young Lionel Hampton !!!!

Wow! Great Speed! Burning it up!

¡¡¡EESTOO ES JAZZZ!!!Y QUE POLENTA TENIAN !!!😃👀👍👏👏👏💎🌈💎🌈💎🌈🌠🌄❇

Thank you Benny....for being color blind.

In this setting the pianist had to keep a thight pocket

Man, is that what reefer does to people? Krupa's hands were just a blur.

If he was driving a car he'd be pulled over for hitting supersonic speeds on the freeway. Would finish the Indianapolis 500 before it began!

Stunning! Reminds me somewhat about the Mothers. Bless US for the incredible music

No bass??!!

Bello

Wow!

You Have To Set Playback Speed To .75, To Get It Close To The Original Recorded Tempo . . .

Awesome, Amazing Thank You

This shines brightly in the net 🎆♥️

Time machine: Back to the Carnegie Hall concert. Dress tag and fine elegant woman on my side

OUTSTANDING!!!

Marvelous

Marvelous .Rest in Peace

What an insane line-up.

What can one say?
Forget Mahavishnu Orchestra, these fellows were ahead of the curve.

So much to ❤ here.4 geniuses. Among the other delights is one of jazz' harmonic pioneers,Mr. Lionel Hampton.And the tempo is frightening!

This puts the biggest smile on my face 😊

Kupra was a mad man on those drums!

Finally, Im here... I've heard something like this in Tom and Jerry!!

First heard BG on AFN short wave in the 1940's. Each had a complete mastery of their instrument and an understanding of each other's thoughts. Teddy Wilson's left hand is as fascinating as his right!!!!!

Teddy 🌠

benny was ahead of the times. 2 black guys in his Quartet, 1937 was scandalous. ken burns jazz documentary gave all the details abt it.

So this is where Tom and Jerry songs come from

No need to artificially speed up the video, these guys could play fast enough in real life.

beyond brilliant 🥰

Wow, those 2 minutes felt like an entire symphony.

I burned 100 calories just watching Gene Krupa.

My god, seeing Teddy Wilson actually doing full blown stride with flatted tenths at this speed is nuts!

And the bebop guys were thought to have played fast to separate the men from the boys

Do you have the House Hop/Avalon from this concert?

Blows my mind how hard they were playing in 1937. Nice to see music bringing people together 💙

Clássico

Benny Goodman was one of the first bandleaders to allow white and black musicians to play together in a public forum. I thank him for opening up the doors for all musicians.

THANKS

😳🤯 Incredible. Just incredible. Can't imagine how many hours (days.. months..) it's taken for them to become such talents, they're one with their instruments.

Absolutely terrific.

これぞ最強にして至高のクァルテット!。

Lovely

This scene was cut from the film when showed in the south due to the interracial band. "In the 19 February 1938 Billboard, an industry news column notes the Memphis Board of Censors is “scissoring” a scene from a just-released Busby Berkeley musical, Hollywood Hotel. The scene not fit for Memphis cinemas is a performance of “I’ve Got a Heart Full of Music” by the Benny Goodman Quartet."

Is the footage sped up, or do they just drink lots of coffee?

It's a little tough to dance to.
