You must be proud of him, a first class musician, among this music giants. Respect from Chile. :)

[@hughmanatee7657]

Great band! Great live music!

[@derycktrahair8108]

Great video. Charlie Smith on Drs is lesson on playing with brushes. There's a lot to learn here from every one. Thanks.

[@waltergray7722]

Thank you for sharing this gem.

[@danidepalma1300]

Nice to see how Benny Goodman was.. This document is very valuable. Tks Jim Davidson y J. Fred to share this jewel!.. Remarque: November 28, 1950 was a thuesday!

[@jgrab1]

Is that a combination of a Tuesday and a Thursday? ;-)

[@johnireland6301]

Pure genius

[@JimDavidson1]

The exact date of this performance was November 28, 1950 - according to the book "BG On The Record" by D. Russell Connor and Warren Hicks, Arlington House, 1969 edition. Goodman appeared on "Star Time" weekly from September 5, 1950 to November 28, 1950. This was his last performance on the show, and he disbanded this group right after. "Star Time" continued on without him until February 27, 1951.

[@poetcomic1]

Blacks! and Whites! Playing Jazz TOGETHER! What was the world coming to! God bless you Benny for not giving a damn.

[@iinikahakalau]

Hawaiian too. The bass player is Hawaiian

[@MooPotPie]

They were playing together decades before this. .

[@belgianvanbeethoven]

@@MooPotPie Indeed Benny Goodman really did a lot for the acceptance of black musicians in the great clubs and concert halls even in the 30s already. Can you believe that a while ago I ran into some moron saying he was a "notorious racist", his only argument was that he supposedly "blackmailed his black band members", and he didn't even have any evidence. I can't believe one would dare to spread such lies after all the good our great Benny Goodman has done.

[@MooPotPie]

@@belgianvanbeethoven A "notorious racist' wouldn't have had any black band members.

[@belgianvanbeethoven]

@@MooPotPie Exactly

[@Jazzinthecountry]

Decades ago I got into Benny to listen to Charlie Christian. Now it's mainly for Teddy.

[@erneztkuijpers1221]

Yes ! Let’s go ! ⭐️

[@JazzVideoGuy]

Terry Gibbs as a teenager.

[@newspaul]

Refreshing to see Goodman working with people in the business at that time besides all the usual cast of people. Not much is said about his work from 1943 till around 1958. But bio's show Benny stayed busy through that entire decade. I didn't know Benny worked on Du Mont.

[@charlesmiller9589]

In August of 1962 when I was 17 my Dad took me to Disneyland to see Benny Goodman and his orchestra...I walked up to him and asked him if he played STRING OF PEARLS anymore? He eventually played it, my Dad’s eyes lit up when he heard the power of the band...

[@paulacton7595]

Charlie Smith, the drummer, is on the Diz and Bird Hot House video.

[@jordanzimmerman7590]

Wow - Charlie Smith on drums. He played with Bird and Dizzy.

[@dasglasperlenspiel10]

Jordan Zimmerman Thanks for your comment. I was wondering who that excellent drummer was. I think he has a great sound with the brushes, and a beautiful, lively swing with very well-placed accents. high quality musicianship all the way around. VERY high quality!

[@ahichiz]

Jordan Zimmerman very good Mr Zipperman!!

[@jazzandbeyond7549]

Indeed! Charlie was a beast and doesn't get the recognition he deserves. Tremendous bebop drummer, great seeing him in this swing style showcasing his adaptability to an older style.

[@focusonemedia1]

Charlie Smith is my grandfather.

[@dodiad]

“He played with Bird and Dizzy.” And with Benny Goodman!

[@patsterling3924]

I was in 5th grade at the time but 2 brothers before me had great music. One jazz the other Dixieland and me rock and roll. I listened to Glenn Miller etc etc etc as a kid as we had the records. I even know the singers with the bands

[@MARKMANIATT]

Terrific drumming by Charlie Smith.

[@jazzandbeyond7549]

Who used to play with Charlie Parker and Dizzy!

[@DeanMk1]

...and Terry Gibbs on vibes! This is an ACE group!

[@rhythmfield]

I only know him from a film of Charlie Parker, and now this. As a drummer and student of jazz drum history, I would like to know more about Charlie Smith, I wonder what became of him?

[@richardwhiteman7429]

Check out Billy Taylor Trio Vol. 1 and 2 and “The Catbird Seat” with the Mitchell-Ruff trio. He died in ‘66 or so at age 38.

[@skimdavidson]

the best. what a hot band!!!

[@johncontos9577]

I like the subtitle lettering! Blacks and white tv! It certainly was a mix of white and black Lol

[@macfilms1986]

My records show The Harmonicats trio playing on the premier broadcast on 9/5/50. I had the kinescope and accrding to the conversation, it was the first broadcats, and that was 9/5.

[@donmcmorran923]

[@pinkieldred]

Omg. Amazing !

[@bluesky6449]

The subtitle shown on the film "blacks and white tv" is aptly named.

[@guywitherspoon2228]

I collect everything BG. I have 84 of his lps for example. The book Benny Goodman listen to his legacy will have this date.

[@helluvagun]

That's great I have only 50!

Wonderful.

[@fungiformenow]

I love seeing my dad on his motorbike

[@ernestconley5327]

I love this music history. They were all great. Cab calway was trip way ahead his time for his style of music

[@WPM_in_ATL]

Watch the stop-action effect from Gibbs' hammers at 5:00. I'm sure it wasn't intended but it is interesting to watch from the kinescope (film off a TV screen).

[@chris1961grams]

Goodman gold

[@macfilms1986]

The Library of Congress has all of my episodes with Club Goodman--and one with The Harmonicats instead of BG. UCLA has a few different prints with Club Goodman.

[@LearnBasicHawaiian]

What do you mean by "my episodes"? Did you direct or were you in the videos? so interesting!

[@johncontos3291]

I want to be happy, swings pretty good!!

[@Jazzinthecountry]

King of Swing!

[@qqkk5581]

I'm surprised to see Charlie Smith on drums - there's very little video of him anywhere. There's no mistaking him as there are very few left handed drummers.

[@The_Letter_W]

his smile makes me melt aaaaahhhh I need to pick up my clarinet again.

Blacks and White TV??

[@brianwalklet81]

Benny Goodman was a trend setter in employing black musicians way back in the thirties. A damn pity Hamps isn't on them vibes here to mumble along with Benny.

[@hughmanatee7657]

Terry Gibbs was a GREAT vibraphonist!

[@F0nkyNinja]

Don't be a bigoted racist just because it's not a black vibraphonist.

[@silva777]

Gibbs is just as good as Hampton.

[@MauriatOttolink]

Love seeing my god on clarinet.

[@patsterling3924]

We had the album but my mom got rid of it

[@nadyarossi5102]

Who is playing the vibes?

[@alansafe5]

The announcer said "sextet," not "quintet".

[@etrisb]

I noticed that too. LOL. I mean, all he had to do was count to five to figure it out.

[@ApartmentKing66]

So, was this filmed at WABD-TV Channel 5 in New York?

[@luisreyguerrero6511]

Extraordinaria e inolvidable mùsica!!, el año en el que yo nacì. 1951.

[@daveday5507]

Note that Goodman is using a basoon embuche - painful.

[@honoredutrey]

He's using a double lip embouchure favoured by many classical clarinet players.

[@daveday5507]

@@honoredutrey Isn't that what I said? If you play clarinet, try it. It hurts.

[@patsterling3924]

Where's the album cover of that date 1950

[@Ricardo_Nava]

¿Name of the songs?

[@mollysurey6058]

is that pretty Peggy in the front row

[@richardbradleyclarinet9778]

That embouchure look so so painful! Why on earth did he decide to change? I cannot see any possible advantages...

[@honoredutrey]

Because he thought he could get a better tone for playing classical.Reginald Kell ,with whom he was studying at that time advised him NOT to change,but Benny changed anyway.

[@virghammer1]

Oh, oops -. Sorry - lol 😂. - Yay, Teti Wilson… I thought I was commenting on the KZbin video I just watched… Glorious… Booked up to be this or that does both with Benny Goodman and all10-20 of those massive jazz superstars… Ella, Harry James, Jo Stafford, etc. etc.… TOGETHER! Same show… Live TV 9058… All playing on the same tune!!!- Doing “Got to be This or That - “ Anyway… It all rocks!

[@fredwaxaklahun]

Waw

[@HelloooThere]

Not bad

[@lowellthomasjr.468]

Benny used Charlie Christian, Lionel Hampton and Teddy Wilson, all blacks. He said when Jim Cullum, Jr. hired Ron Wilkins, "His heart soared like a HAWKINS (Coleman.)" If you believe in integration , go to Florida and pray over Trayvon's grave. Sad.

[@SELMER1947]

Nobody can replace Hamp...

[@silva777]

What? Terry Gibbs is GREAT!
