I could listen to this song FOREVER and still never get bored of it.
Exactly the same here. James Carter, jesus christ.
Me too!!!
I keep coming back to this video whenever this song pops up in my head😂
you can be cool... but you never will be cooler than that clarinet player
The tune is Tickle - Toe by Lester Young. Solo by Joshua Redman, the other tenor player is James Carter
I'm still going crazy with this jazz battle
Now that's music raw and from the heart!
This version has haunted me for about 6 years.
What an amazing time to be in and around music of this era...and what amazing musicians these guys/gals are, thank you so very much for posting!
There isn't anything else in the world like a good jam session. Gives me goose bumps just thinking about it. Speaking of which does anyone know of any good jazz clubs in Kansas city now?
The joy of playing!!!
Tengo este docu Cine, completo VHS. Cambio mi vida
Jazz Blues Swing Era.
Simplemente sensacional de un Jazz que nos llega hasta los huesos
I'm Brazilian and now I don't take my pork pie hat off my head because of the jazz musicians haha
My Kind of Music. I love it !
When somebody is asking YOU: "What is JAZZ?" Do not answer ...just show him/her this VIDEO!
Wonderful basically "Bird" KansasCity'swing!
mi fanno impazzire,meravigliosi
In the movie you can see a young Charlie Parker leaning over the balcony with his alto.
Made in 1997....I highly doubt it😃
@@fluidjazz Parker was already dead by the time of the production of this film. Though just like young and Hawkins were played by other people, there is a resemblance of a young Charlie Parker if you look with great attention it kind of looks like him. It could be or not, who knows?
at what minute of the complete film?
Love it and thanks for sharing.
1:08 1:15 1:30 2:29 and 1:34 give me the chills!
That feeling!
Pork pie hats are necessary for tenor sax players
Well, a fedora used to fit, and, rather well. At least, they fit Bean and the Brute.
Absolutely
Colina.. Totus el único la envidia de otros... Me llevaron a mi pobreza...
@SAXYASFOLK Lester Young did write it. And I think Basie made the big band arrangement.
Yeah men, The Prez did it an it was an Andy Gibson's arrangement. This piece was
performed live in Feb./March 1940 in the city of Boston by C.Basie 's orchestra-
(duration: 3'16"), the soloists were: B.Tate (?) (st), H. Sweets Edison(trp), Lester
Young (st) and W. Count Basie.( perhaps at the Southland Cafe).
Columbia recorded this piece with W.Count Basie's orchestra on March 19, 1940
in N.Y.C., ( WCO 26656A - M.T.- Col 35521), the soloists were: Lester Young,
Harry Edison, Lester Young and W. Basie. The orchestra was composed of the
following musicians: on trp : W."Buck" Clayton,Edward "Ed "Lewis, Harry "Sweets"
Edison, Albert "Al" Killian, on trb: Victor "Vic" Dickenson, Dan Minor, William "Dicky"
Welles, on sax.: Earle Warren(sa), Ronald "Jack" Washington(sb,sa), George
"Buddy" Tate and Lester "Prez" Young (st), the rhythm section: Frederick
"Freddie" Green (gt) ,Walter Page (cb), Jonathan "JO" Jones (dm) and
William "Count" Basie.
There is also a broadcast by WHNYC recorded live at the Manhattan Center. The
date is uncertain: either Feb. 15, 1941 or either between Feb. 27 and March 17,
1941. The orchestra was entitled "Lester Young Band" with Lester "Shad"
Collins (trp), Lester "Prez" Young(st), John Collins(gt), "Nick" Fenton(cb)
and Harold "Doc" West (dm). The duration: 6' 17".
This broadcast recording is on at least two CDs:
1° The Complementary Works -vol. 2- a collection made by Masters of Jazz,
(MJCD 47.) - France
2° Lester Young by New Sound Planet 1989- Pres Box -Vol.1- (JUTB 3019)
Aaaàaawl soul!
Mon commentaire ne concerne pas la musique développée par ces
excellents musiciens que j'apprécie, non cela concerne la réalisation
du film: "Tickle Toe" n'était pas jouée en 1934 mais en 1939/1940
par l'orchestre de W. Basie dit "Count". Dans pas mal de film américain
il y a des erreurs flagrantes ( comme par exemple un gladiateur portant
une montre au poignet ,etc.......) c'est ce qui démontre le manque de
culture de la société étasunienne !!!!!
CANT STOPP CLICKING MY FINGERS!!
Que beleza!
Play that SAX like you own it.
Tocam muito!!
Nice felling's!!!!!!!!!
Which gym does James Carter's sax go to?
Cool Band, great sound, great tune. Did Lester Young write it? thanks for posting it
Yes,he did
Can somebody recomends me a movey about musicians? sorry if i don't write very well.. i speak spanish... just a little english... i liked the movie about Arturo Sandoval.. i want to see some good movies like that.!
Carlos Vasquez, you can use -"DeepL translation"
Who's the clarinet player? It says byron but byron only plays the bari (shown at the beginning)
That's James Carter on the baritone. Note how he's wearing the same thing there, at 0:48, as he is when he comes back on tenor later. Not sure it's Byron on clarinet but it could be.
Gangsta kittie That’s Don Byron on clarinet. His then Rasta hair is well hidden by this funny hat.
Good Stuff, Shame that Redman's saxophone was not made until 19 years later , JC 's a 27 Conn (with modifications) but right enough. Not sure about the D'angelico guitar . That looks later too . Could be a 54 New Yorker (Or replica )
jon viol that is a Gibson not a d'Angelico. Look at the headstock.
Yep -it's a L5 --thanks Jonny
Was told today that in 1934 the L5 did not have a cutaway body nor a neck pick up.So the Gibson in the film is not an authentic 1934 Gibson but a later (post 1942/3 ish) model with an even later electric pickup.In 1934 guitar players only used acoustic instruments.Only trying to set the rec ord straight in case any nerds watching.Jonny
jon viol that's correct about the acoustic instruments. Like Eddie Lang's L5 from the 20s. I think the tailpiece isn't a normal L5 tailpiece either. Even for a recent model.
Surprise: this is the ONLY clip in the entire film which is historically accurate from a musical standpoint--and even then, not entirely accurate!
Right! And inaccurate still is because tune is written in 1940...
@@mmilovan Right man, but I think Lester Young perhaps may have written
Tickle Toe in late 1939. This piece was played live by W.Count Basie's
orchestra in Boston on Feb/March 1940 ( perhaps Southland Cafe) and
registered by Columbia on March 19, 1940 .
is the movie somewhere to be watched?
Can someone tell me the name of the movie? If there is one. Thx
Jazz soup in K.C. Delicious.
Swing...Swing...Swing..
Great backlog: I heven't seen the entire movie yet. (shame on me) But nothig's lost...
he gets talked about later in the movie
Bird is also excellent !
uf...
Drummer looks like Lee Young, Lester's brother haha.
wakuwakuするぜこの映画
The squeaky clarinet is not good.
Dude didnt squeak once....
playing cats =)
Uh-uh. Sorry James. Close but no cigar with all that Big Jay McNeely shit.
+kafenwar oh, come on. Enjoy it for what it is.
MCEH3 After hearing the originals I can't really enjoy this stuff. It's a bringdown. Sorry.
+kafenwar to each his own. Granted, Joshua Redman isn't Pres and James Carter isn't Ben Webster, but they're good players in their own right, and it's enjoyable - at least to me and I cut my teeth on my father's Duke Ellington 78s - to hear them put their own stamp on the music.
Good point. James Carter was a bad choice for this. Frankly, even most the cats in J@LC would have a hard time playing in the style the legends were playing in '34. They always lapse into bebop licks or weird rhythmic figures. Jazz in '34 was swinging and melodic to the maximum.
