WHO WAS FRED KARNO?
WHO WAS FRED KARNO? He was a plumber, who became an acrobat, and then devised a new kind of theatrical comedy, which was very physical. He created and produced broad sketches that could be played, without dialogue, in music halls at the turn of the 19th century. He created a company - Karno’s Speechless Comedians - that toured the halls and theatres. He recruited Charlie Chaplin and Stan Laurel, and trained them in slapstick and knockabout skills. They both went to America with Karno companies, and stayed there. Chaplin used Karno routines as the basis for several of his early silent film comedies: The Rink, Easy Street, Work, A Night Out. In 1912 Fred Karno built his Karsino on an island in the Thames: a hotel with a ballroom that could become a theatre. This was bad timing: World War 1 put lavish entertainment venues out of business. Karno became bankrupt and died broke. But his name lives on, as the metaphor for anything that is seen as a chaotic shambles. The British Expeditionary Force was labelled ‘Fred Karno’s Army’, in the first years of the Great War. The name has often been used in the House of Commons, to describe a particularly shambolic government or opposition. This historic film (produced in 1970) tells the real Karno story, narrated by Roy Hudd, with glimpses of Chaplin, Jerry Lewis, Sandy Powell, Will Hay, Norman Wisdom, Jimmy Jewel, Roy Kinnear and The Goodies. The finale is the spectacular demolition of Karno’s Karsino

What matters most? This is a random survey in a Ruislip playground about parenting, asking leading questions about how a child is brought up. What factors outside of the classroom will enhance a child's academic success?

AL Bowlly was a 'crooner' with dance bands in the 1930s. more popular in the UK than Bing Crosby. His recordings are still head today, although he was killed in the Blitz.

spine-tingling
So bautiful
UNDERRATED
the pro scoffing at the genius tho 🤯
i think kennedy ruined this lovely piece of music, sorry just my thought
It is not by J S Bach either
When Larry Adler visited Hong Kong in 1999, he performed this song with an "empty piano" too. I still can remember that he nodded his head to the empty chair, looks like Gershwin was really playing piano for him.
My favourite guitarist. No one else sounds like mr Hillage.
Mind blowing. High as a kite and in total control. Her musicians: Famine, Sword & Fire crouching for employent. Only one Lady Day. Unearthly. Of another realm... ✨
She’s my favorite!❤️
Thank you so much for posting this. Just tell me one thing please. Is this playback? It seems so real. But back than, synchronisation between sound and image was rare or non-existent. When did they manage first to record both at the same time?
Real time, no playback. Actually, they rehearsed that tune two days earlier and the rehearsal version is on the original Columbia "Sound of Jazz" LP. Needless to say, this "live" version is vastly superior to the rehearsal one (Lester Young, among others, doesn't play on the rehearsal and it does make a difference).
Thanks for this great piece of history.
love the performance and your vid
Only just stumbled across this deconstructed account of Billie Holiday from the CBS Sound Of Jazz film. She and this entire film of master musicians changed my life when I first watched it during Channel 4’s Jazz weekend. I remain deeply moved by her and all these players every time I watch for the umpteenth time. It warms my heart to hear other musicians, in particular Andy Sheppard; convey the same feelings of respect and humanity for the greatest American art form.
I love her voice. There have been many great female jazz singers. Perhaps she was the greatest of them all & I doubt if we will see & hear anyone in the future better than her❤
Of her, and of the others, too, why not, could be paraphrased what Antony says at the end of his speach in Shakespeare's tragedy: 'Here was a Caesar, when comes such another?'
One of the highest moments in jam sessions history. Lester Young plays something very close to miracle.
Every time I hear Lester start that 2nd solo, my eyes well up with salty salty tears
You're not alone!
She was a magnet for talented Jazzmen because of her sincerity!
all white people :-D racism
Это самое ВЕЛИКОЕ ,(не побоюсь этого слова) , гитарное соло , сыгранное на нашей с вами - Грешной ❤ До небес , до самых-самых !
a straight g no doubt 😍🤟🏾✨💐🌈
By this time in her life, Lady's voice had since deteriorated but nonetheless she convincingly still made it happen.
Mike Oldfield ❤️
Love hearing these erudite YT folk over intellectualize and yet are completely clueless of the Black American culture
Great presentation!
So underated!! One of Britain's finest!!
Giants
Too fast....speed down man!!
Wonderful. Geoff Vian on camera studio A. Bbc Bristol. Sound Peter Rose
Sinatra, Gleason, and my dad are with Billie. WGNJMNFAS 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤Artie Shaw was her beau.
Thank you. Real history of an amazing tradition sadly forgotten. I'd often wondered who Fred Karno was. Now I know but I hadn't appreciated just what he achieved. "We are Fred Karno's Army, The Ragtime Infantry. We cannot fight, we cannot march. What Earthly use are we." Immortal, along with Fred.
😍😍😍
One of those most excellent guitar players not many know of
She was fabulous. Thank you for sharing this gem..❤❤❤
Just realised Nigel Kennedy playing. Amazing
Love the Marx brothers. They were so clever. Wish they would be shown on the telly now
15:49 is that Bird playing the GUITAR??
He didn’t die he just switched instruments
@@neroinc5998 lol
The best. There will never be another Billy Holiday. She gives me the chills. Her improvisation, & SOUL are unique. When I die, I want to see her in heaven & hug her. My other favorite is Ella. Want to hug her too.
Sehr gut! Vielen Dank!
I think this would be a great thing for kids of today to see, hear and experience and also for them to play along with ❤
Frances - I know it is your second trumpet lesson, but try to play along with this solo from Roy
Billie Holiday dla mnie to Geniusz, slucham jej od 20 lat od kiedy żyję w Wiedniu, Austria . Muzycy to też Geniusze😅😊❤ miod dla uszu i duszy, dziękuję!!!!
Who was the bass player, who died two days afterwards from falling in the snow storm? As long as I've known about and loved so much this event, I'd never heard such a thing!
Exactly,
Walter Page, played with Count Basie
Check last line here (although Page does NOT feature on the LP either). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sound_of_Jazz
I know, right.
Thanks for this great video. Some more information about the session would have been interesting. What was the context of the session? How many takes were recorded? Did they perform anything else that day?
I've stumbled across this video being a huge afficianado of the era albeit out of mine. I've studied it many enjoyable times and perplexed at my separating it from her others. Thankyou! Because I now understand why, the dynamics surrounding it had a powerful influence. It's true! Billie does seduce each musician and it's pure art,magic rarely witnessed. This is so good, so powerful, a very special corner in my heart,Such good music!
Such a fascinating story, Fred’s off licence and house are just down the road from me in Poole, it’s such a shame more people don’t know about him and his achievements.
The level of RESPECT for her, is humbling.
Tous les grands !!… inoubliables…
❤
I grew up in Harlem in the 60s. Saw the last of the rent parties playing in the living room. To be poor in Harlem Every home had a piano. My mother told personal stories about Billie Holiday. Ben Websters solo and Lester Young answer is how my father used to walk through the house so cool. Go listen to Lester Youngs answer to Ben Webster. I can play that over and over again. A hip cat understands things like that. Enjoy
