Come on, Terry. Let Buddy solo!

Holy Moly! The trade-offs were flawless and sounded like a single mind!

One can hear why she is compared with her friend Carmen Macrae, though her timbre is more woody and a bit darker (both of them obviously great singers), beautiful phrasing and intonation, just lovely. And great piano as well.

Giants!!!!

ONE HUNDRED BIRTHDAY GREETINGS to you Terry! Sir you are TRULY AMAZING! Peace and Blessings from Australia.

4:31 WHAAAAT?

Brilliant. I like Coltrane. I like DiFranco.

What a wonderful band led by the beautiful Bill Holman.

Terry Gibbs turned 100 a few days ago. Happy Birthday!

100, OCTOBER . THAT'S LOTTA YEARS.

Joe must've had the easiest job on TV.

Fantastic! So uplifting!

Thanks Ted Gioia. What a show and what a story that came out from the comments.

priceless

You can tell that Terry Gibbs was a great band leader - his group played like a well-oiled machine and had a lot of fun. Reminded me a little of Louis Prima's act. And he wasn't afraid to let Terry Pollard shine. Love that Steve Allen sat in on piano. Here's another TS episode where Johnny helps out Pete Fountain and his band, and the TS band. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYG8YZ-VqqqJgs0&start_radio=1&rv=T8z6fwq4ZSE

Killing bebop. Thanks Ted Gioia for bringin me here!

Happy 100th 🎉

Aside from the fact that Steve Lawrence always looked like he had the mumps -- those cheeks! -- he and Eydie were fantastic singers and entertainers who brightened every stage! And what a gem this program is!

FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes...

Steve Allen's fluency in so many mediums is exceptional. He was a true Renaissance Man.

The list of arrangers on these in incredible-- one after another starting with Marty Paitch, whose Opus One arrangement was picked up by Thilo Wolf. Lots of Thilo Wolf (a German big band) on KZbin. Thoise full concerts are worth finding. Recommended . Liked.

Luv ya Terry. Can't wait to get this

Man, that truly WAS an all-star band! That is an amazing collection of players to all be in one band.

This was wonderful! Thank you Lenny!

Love Steve!!!!!!!!!!!

Age is just a number if you think young! Great performance. The dog was nice too! Love health and wisdom to all, Erik the Netherlands

Amazing x let's keep her memory alive x

My father's favorite album featured Eydie Gorme' with Los Panchos.

Would love to have seen McCartney and Lennon on the show. It's not exactly a rock n roll atmosphere but it is about music. They could have given insight into their form of collaboration.

Caught and captured forever...ah, Terry continued superbly until the sun set on him and that music lives on. What a lineup, the best of the west coast players, and the drummer.. from New England Ron, you've always do the best on radio, kTV and in person...I miss our conce a year Kenton special. Carry on for a 100 years...Cent" anni!

TG had a fire breathing band. Every arrangement was spectacular and this one by Al Cohn is one of the best. Many of these gents were also in the original band in '58. Frankie Capp also had a heck of a group with Nat Pierce a few years after this that was a hellaciously swinging group also!

Amazing

that band! super stars.

Joe Baker did a great Marcel Marceau impression...on the couch.

love allen but i always felt sorry for his sidekick

"Martian Bossa Nova" is my favorite jazz track ever, and this version sounds generally terrific.

The were made one by the other...its good to see people loving each other this way!

Just found this, thank you so much, one of my favourite big bands!

One of the finest singers of the 20th century

What an incredible talent! Miss him!

Who's playing through who's solo? 😀

I watched this at age 14 in 1980 and remember thinking "I cant believe anyone could make Steve Martin seem unfunny." But this shtick just didnt make me laugh. I guess i shouldve been around in the 50s to appreciate it more

George Kennedy 🤣😂

This is a great show Steve!

"Time Being" should have been picked in the Bill Holman repertory. I heard the Buddy Rich Big Band version of that in that 1971 recording. Very difficult big band number. It seems like this should be "the John Coltrane's "Giant Steps" of big band music selections." It is difficult to play or perform but I like listening to it.

Everybody playing their lights out! Here's to Willis. Hope he had a few forgotten arrangements stuck in drawers somewhere. Even his everyday stuff was way better than most what gets recorded!
