This is music. Most of the stuff offered to us now is just noise.

He sails so much higher than any other pianist in his realm.

Excellente Musik!

Erroll Garner is in a class by himself, he is beyond incredible, he is the world's greatest pianist!

A real pro.

Man, Tony Benett was spot on about Sinatra

Because his parents were Italian immigrants, they had to have pronounced the surname “mahn-CHEE-nee” instead of “man-SEE-nee” as Henry pronounced that name.

when I.hear Glenn's MOONLIGHT SERENADE I.FEEL HIM SO CLOSE BY

I.WAS BORN.1951 BUT I MUST OF HAD A PAST LIFE BECAUSE GLENN.MILLERS MUSIC SENDS ME ESPECIALLY MOONLIGHT SERENADE

Steve Race was quite good, even Humph Littleton.

Everyone is great here, but to my (untrained) ear, Bud Powell comes out on top here.

I didn't know that Det. Charlie Chan could play such a mean sax

!!UNA JOYA!!.-GRACIAS!!

Jazz at it's best

THÉ BEST. ORCHESTRA. IN. THÉ. WORLD. I. ASSURE. YOU. MARVELOUS. ORCHESTRA GLENN. WE LOVE. YOIU. ALL. OVER. THÉ. WORLD

Wow, I just listened to this entire album that I didn’t know existed until now. Dizzy was in total beast mode just as much as Lalo’s charts were off the charts.

"Quest for perfection." It would have been a good start if he had dealt first with his personal life. A huge, huge kudos, though, for his long support of many black musicians: including Pearl Bailey, Roy Eldridge, and Billie Holiday.

The guy in the picture with the hat looks like a faggot.

Class act. Alan was acknowledged as the master behind the microphone. Nobody these days comes close. Take care.

It is perfection.

Magnificent. So happy to have found this gem from the past - the heart of the Jazz Era!

Got this on vinyl. The London label vinyl albums sound amazing.

Wow, fluent and swinging.

A fascinating series, had looked for a good discussion of this giant of popular music culture for some time. As a young pianist I was fascinated by Legrand. I could also identify with his childhood (pre Conservatoire). Although I would have liked to know more about his childhood and adolesence, and how this drove him in later life. Nevertheless, from a young age he had the best education for a musician possible, and he really owes France and its public education system a lot. I really do not think such an education would have been possible in Anglo-Saxon countries, certainly not at that age. It was interesting how he writes in ink. I would have liked to have known more about that. But it suggests that he learned how to get things down on paper extremely well. I have learned that the ability to notate is crucial. Many people have infinite musical ideas. Few can get them down on paper. The documentary was also interesting as it did shy away from also giving a critique. And compared to 20, 30 years ago I do now listen to Legrand with more of a critical ear, especially his film scores. Legrand himself says that film scoring requires great humility, but I do not think he always followed that counsel himself. There is a big difference between a good musician and a good film composer. Nevertheless in the classical world, I don't know if he would have succeeded. Could he write a large scale work like a symphony that has painstaking contrapuntal unity but must sound to the listener like it fell from the sky? I think this also takes another type of humility. Legrant loved life, but the great composers did not quite live life the way Legrand did. In someways he fitted the Hollywood role and life. But I am very grateful for what Legrand gave us. RIP and thank you for the music. Thanks particularly for Cherbourg, Rochefort, and the brilliant finale to Yentl. It will never end.

Saw him at Colchester in the 50/60s, great band.

"The Herdmen Blow In Paris Vol. 2", not "The Herman"!

Ahhh, those were the days when the jazz was worth listening to.

Mom would tell of the band in Halifax, entertaining troops while she was an MP. Damn I miss my mom. Her birthday is coming up, 12/12/24

Wonderful , one of the Most important Quintet of the Jazz history🎖️🎖️🎖️🎖️🎖️ miraculously improvised The Jazz

How I miss Alan Dell's broadcasts! Always superb quality listening

The Best Ever Radio Presenter.👍

Killin.

The real story of Miller so far stinks!!

My girlfriend Miriam, had this LP in 1958, I'd never heard of Twardzik. Really great, really huge loss.

Thanks for posting this ... Mancini was like silk. Even his Rhodes work on 100% Dead just melts ya.

I can’t hear a Glenn Miller song without thinking of my Mom.

Me encanta

Not Sinatra.

I equate Parker to Mozart....a born musical genius!

That pink panther theme so cold mayne ooowee 💪🎵

Thank you very much for this post. I am from La Plata, Argentina, but my favorite radio is BBC Radio 3. I miss the shows with Geoffrey Smith so much, with his kind sympathy, JRR is not the same without him. Best regards! Gustavo Fabián Monastra

35' singing with his group

God this takes me back to Monday nights not just Alan but later years with Humph and followed by big band special. Thanks to Dad I was brought up on not only Basie, Duke and others going back to 1920s Louis Hot Five and Seven but also the best of British. First was the fine Ambrose band in which Ted along with other notable players such as Sid Phillips were members. The Heath band in my humble opinion were not only the finest we ever had but one of the best world wide of all time.

FUNKY!!❤😊
