Gotta love the looks he gets from the string player next to him, probably wishes he was having that much fun & Hillage just plays so well as he always did & does. Even back in the days of Gong Steve stood out & on his own, well anyone that knows him knows just how good & creative he is.🎸🎶🛸

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.

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?
@paul-emilechenois81954 ай бұрын
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).

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❤
@SzokePeter667 ай бұрын
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?'

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.
