- Johnny Otis on drums and Lionel Hampton on vibraphone. As a teenager, Otis played drums in Hampton's band. Clip is from the Johnny Otis TV Show, locally televised in Los Angeles. Probably late 1958 or early '59.
Pure magic!
Love Lionel Hampton!

This is Hamp's signature tune, "Flyin' Home."
I had no idea that Johnny Otis started out as a drummer until I saw
this, and did some research.
I saw Hampton in concert with his own band in 1974, and part of his show
was to take a lot of drum solos, while the band's actual drummer kept
time; Hamp must have been a huge influence on Johnny, back in his
formative years, because in this clip, Johnny plays exactly like the
Hamp I saw, 25 years later.
This is the closing segment of the best half hour of local television I
have ever seen:
The entire episode used to be out here, I hope it still is.
i'm reading johnny otises biography, midnight at the barrelhouse, great stuff !
Yeah, we got to find the rest of this.
I remember it to.
He played drums on original hounddog
@@tomlehr861 You are correct!
Big Mama Thornton's version!
(From Wikipedia)
"Thornton recorded "Hound Dog" at Radio Recorders Annex in Los Angeles on August 13, 1952, the day after its composition. It subsequently became her biggest hit. According to Hound Dog: The Leiber and Stoller Autobiography, Thornton's "Hound Dog" was the first record that Leiber and Stoller produced themselves, taking over from bandleader Johnny Otis. Said Stoller:
We were worried because the drummer wasn't getting the feel that Johnny had created in rehearsal. "Johnny," Jerry said, "can't you play drums on the record? No one can nail that groove like you." "Who's gonna run the session?" he asked. Silence. "You two?" he asked. "The kids are gonna run a recording session?" "Sure," I said. "The kids wrote it. Let the kids do it." Johnny smiled and said, 'Why not?'"
Otis played drums on the recording, replacing Ledard "Kansas City" Bell. As Otis was still signed exclusively to Federal Records, a subsidiary of Syd Nathan's King Records as "Kansas City Bill" or perhaps with Mercury Records at this time, Otis used the pseudonym "Kansas City Bill" (after his drummer "Kansas City" Bell) on this record. Therefore, Otis, Louisiana blues guitarist Pete "Guitar" Lewis, and Puerto Rican bass player Mario Delagard (some sources say erroneously it was Albert Winston) are listed as "Kansas City Bill & Orchestra" on the Peacock record labels."

The episode you are talking about was unfortunately, taken down.
Johnnyc drums That is too bad...
It was completely live, and marvelous.
tuxguys ; Yeah, I had that full half hour show on my G+ stream. I liked the car commercials too. I'd buy the DVD if it's available. That was a local show in L.A. It would be a crime if they junked the tapes of the rest of the shows. Not uncommon back in those days. Shuggie Otis might know.
The best "local" TV I have ever seen.
Ting tong tang....yeahhh.....ohh...ting tiong tang.....YEAHHH
Is it really necessary to say "Yeah" all the time? It is really distracting.
+ben015 Ja, dat is nodig.
murmurrrr Waarom dan meneer Hampton
Augghhhhh!!! That's what these soulful joyful players DO!!! And it's contagious, and spontaneous, and sure it becomes habit and it's among the finest of natural musical expressions! And it defines the genres these musicians create. Ya gotta understand this, this is WHY THEY PLAY! Blues, jazz, free form, it's SOUL, c'mon braveheart, take a chance, let it loose!!!
It seems you don't well understand what jazz music is... many great jazz & blues musicians do it ( Erroll Garner, Earl Hines, Hampton, Fats Waller, Milt Buckner, Willie Smith, Ray Charles etc...This is the expression of joy to play for afro-americans musicians, the essence of Jazz music !!! If you don't like it, you better listen to Glenn Miller or commercial music...
That's nothin', you should hear Terry Gibbs Dream Band playing "Nose Cone", or anything else for that matter.
