Basie live on the TV program "International Hour - American Jazz", filmed at the Civic Opera House in Chicago in may 1963. Includes the closing credits from the broadcast.
Frank Foster - Sax solo on Jumpin at the Woodside, The Late Great Sonny Payne - on Drums hammering it out on Old Man River. And that is Freddy Green on guitar.
I'm pretty sure Buster had retired and was only playing around Houston by that time due to an injury which had kept him from playing a while earlier (tho that had nothing to do with his leaving Basie)
sorry paicefreak, but i think only you and Buddy Rich believe that...BR was great beyond measure but the, 4 guys drlluc mentioned are right up there with him too... Anyway, what the hell's the difference?? They are all great, and this is not the Olympics. It's Music. People can argue over who's better, Willie Mays or Mickey Mantle? I think it's a waste of time arguing over great musicians... Respect to all of them from that era...they don't make em like that anymore....
Ça roule !!…Merveilleux chaque musicien….
😥 that time won't be back again... but their echoes will sound forever ... echoes of an era when giants settled the earth...
My dad loved 2 things: high speed locomotive trains and the Basie Orchestra. Now I see why.
Lord I miss you dad, Frank Foster....with every beat of my heart
Frank Foster was an incredibly generous man. I had the luck to play with him in Denmark in the mid eighties.
Frank Foster.. I picked up learned and played many solos from him, transcribed some of his arrangements, great fan of him.
Absolutely amazng and wonderful. What a great delight to be able to see
such magic
