I love this entire movie, which is chock-full of great character comedians -- Edgar Kennedy, Ted Healy, Mabel Todd, Allyn Joslyn, Fritz Feld, Hugh Herbert, Glenda Farrell, Alan Mowbray -- along with Rosemary and Lola Lane and Dick Powell, all giving knockout performances. Not to mention Frances Langford and Johnny "Scat" Davis with the Goodman band, (and the Goodman Quartet with Krupa, Lionel Hampton and Teddy Wilson!) -- and a great score by Richard Whiting and Johnny Mercer!!

The drums are so heavy metal :D ! Love it !

As fine as this is, the absolute 'killer-diller' version of "Sing, Sing, Sing" was played by Goodman & his orchestra "the night jazz became respectable" - the Famous 1938 Carnegie Hall Concert. It runs just over twelve minutes and includes a solo by Jess Stacey (with Krupa being remarkably restrained in the background) and is considered by many to be the finest two minutes of jazz improvisational piano ever captured by a microphone. They're right.

[@daneb.mcfadhen9896]

Krupa is amazing.

[@dale19532]

So many great musicians!

A very young Harry James! Ha! 🙂🙂🙂

[@longrider42]

Okay, this is not the full length version. That one is five minutes and 12 seconds long and includes at the end the two black musicians. One playing the Piano and one playing the vibraphone. And I can no longer find that version online. Its a good thing I got it when I did.

[@richardgraham5051]

Teddy Wilson (piano) and Lionel Hampton (vibraphone)

[@JoanSmith-t7k]

​@@richardgraham5051Yes, in 1937 Benny Goodman had the only integrated orchestra.

Crazy Good ! 🎶💕👍

[@Disques13Swing]

Today, 16 January 2013, is the 75th anniversary of Benny Goodman's 1938 Carnegie Hall Concert...

[@az2020b]

Great and genius!!!

[@poetcomic1]

Harry James without the pimpy mustache was good looking if skinny.

[@Mavarla]

Hah---it *was& The Depression Era; lots of skinny people then; James was but a mere youngster here.

[@Disques13Swing]

Goodman said "Yeah, Jess". Wilson wasn't playing at the moment as the full band was on stage and not the trio or quartet. There are quite a few versions of this now on YT in the full version from the 1938 Carnegie concert.

[@victorcowboywest]

Besides Krupa,there's Harry James,Johnnie Davis and Teddy Wilson.

[@AJNorth]

According to an interview with Goodman a few years before his passing in 1986, he had exclaimed, "Yeah, Teddy," in reaction to Teddy Wilson (who was on the side of the stage in obvious ecstasy over what he was hearing); Jess Stacy said the same thing in a 1977 interview (Stacy also said that many people, even going on forty years later, still thought that it was Wilson who had played the solo - and that included Time Magazine!).

[@SheridanJazz]

No, it was Jess without a doubt.

[@Dylan-Dead]

Lionel Hampton wasn’t in this but check the end out if you can find it

[@markhilbertrossetti1796]

Astaire checked-in to the Hotel?

[@richarddowney1972]

Great!, But not the CHC with the Jess Stacey piano solo.

[@edsternet]

Is anyone able to post this movie?

@12345678927269 Hey whats wrong with pot smoking...

[@xylfox]

A Jazz-Orchestra without a brother??? Goddam joke :-((

[@RaygAgainstheMachine]

1. Benny DID have black musicians in his band, Teddy Wilson and Lionel Hampton 2. Benny held the first integrated concert at Carnegie Hall in 1938, ten years before Jackie Robinson 3. Once, when a racist asked Benny why he had those two n----rs in his band, he told the guy to fuck off or he'd break his clarinet across his face. 4. I'm sure it was Hollywood's decision not to include those two musical giants in this film, not his. Films with integration wouldn't play in the South at all so Hollywood put $$$ before morals. 5. You're an idiot. Alright, that about covers it.

[@LynneConnolly]

In the second part of this movie, Goodman plays in his quartet, with Hampton. It's here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHPWapqQhr1qorM

[@LynneConnolly]

They did it separately so the movie studio could cut this out of the movie when it was played in the south. Evil, but I know who the losers were.

[@SheridanJazz]

This was 1937. Big bands such as Goodman's were segregated be that was the practice of the day. Benny did make his first recordings of the BG Trio with Teddy Wilson in 1935, and the next year added Wilson to his organization on a permanent basis. Lionel Hampton was soon to follow, along with Charlie Christian, Cootie Williams and others. Lionel Hampton has said that without what Goodman did in 1936, Jackie Robinson would not have been possible in 1947. BTW, Benny's chief arrangers starting in 1934 were Fletcher Henderson and Jimmy Mundy, both "brothers" as you so delicately put it. Don't believe all of this? It's been widely documented for years. Look it up.

[@longrider42]

Actually there are two, a piano player and a vibraphone player. I have the full length clip, that has both of them in it. It is much better.
