Jimmy Rushing w Dizzie Gillespie Quintet - Blues After Dark - France 1959 (LIve Video)

[@martinkasdan6713]

My name is Marty. I’m a 69-year old attorney and I live in Louisville Kentucky. I have been listening to jazz since I was in junior high school. I’m listening to Dizzy Gillespie at the 1957 Newport Jazz Festival as I type this note.

Rushing was a marvel. The greatest blues singer for my money.

[@gynack]

++Nicolas Martin Certainly up there with the best, maybe the very best. Aye, he was a great singer, but sadly seems to be largely forgotten now. This brings back memories. I saw him in the UK in the very early 60's with the Basie band. The band was a bit pedestrian in the first half of the concert, but Rushing came on for the second half.He started swinging it straight away, and the band dug in and went with him for a fabulous second half.

[@morderic]

That's Leo Wright on flute and sax.

[@CribNotes]

They didn't make ties long enough for Jimmy Rushing back then.

[@Jamestown-y9j]

Brother Rushing had a fat neck, Mr. 5 by 5.

[@mkshead]

Yes, short on tie size, but I understand, he always a long list of pretty women on his arm!

[@deadstockk]

Just discovered Jimmy Rushing after listening to a lot of H-Bomb Ferguson and Cleanhead Vinson. Jimmy has an incredible voice. Is there a full version of Rushing and Gillespie's band?

[@ChampianFulton]

no, i don't think so. jimmy recorded a lot under his own name, and he made great records with the count basie big band.

I also looked everywhere online for a complete recording of this one and couldn't find anything ... any help? Ciao-grazie-Roberto from Turin (Italy)

[@1nikitawhite]

Mr. Hardy, I believe Dizzy, spells his name with an Y and not an *IE....

[@skillet6870]

A little humor to things.
