Shelly Manne and His Men 'The Blues and I' on Frankly Jazz

[@jimbrown1559]

A very nice performance by a wonderful band. Richie, Russ, and Shelly are among my very favorite musicians from this era.

Those dancing hands on the piano belonged to my late father, the great bebop jazz pianist and composer Russ Freeman. He and Shelly Manne were best friends up until Shelly's untimely death from a heart attack. Thanks so much for posting this great old video from Frankly Jazz! ~from Paula Kenley Freeman (beadbop).

I love your father's music! With this combo and the Chet Baker mid fifties combo. West Coast Jazz giant!

This tune is called The Breeze and I, not the Blues and I.
