Guitar player was Frank Federico, bass player Louis Masinter (my father) clarinet was Meyer Weinberg, I think. Godfrey Hirsch is on vibes and drums. Piano player escapes me. Love this video!!

prima is buried in his home town, new orleans in metairie cemetery. on his large grave is inscriped: "i'm just a gigilo, wherever i go, bu life goes on without me." so appropriate.

No one had the energy and enjoyment from his music that Louis Prima had; he never stopped moving when the music started; when he performed with Keely Smith, the chemistry between them was something to behold. Roger Plafkin--Plafkin Farms, Ada, Michigan

Wanna hear something nuts? I remember seeing Louis Prima and Keely Smith do their night club act on the Sullivan show. Prima would cut up and Smith would play straight(wo)man. Not long after, I'd see another couple do similar act geared for a younger audience: Sonny and Cher.

What a great showman. He was to the trumpet what Liberace was to the piano, Les Paul to the guitar, and Buddy Rich to the drums. Not only does he possess an outrageous level of personal expertise on the instrument, but he makes the music about everyone; there’s a sort of a communal feel to it, if you will.

Wonderful to see this! A mimed performance but I think that was the norm even back then (easier to get quality sound, less stage clutter, etc) It's funny though to see Louis's solo break at 2:56 - we hear a muted trumpet but there's no mute in sight! Then at 3:19 the mute appears as if by magic!

I'm 59 years, I feel I was born in the wrong era. If there's such a thing called a Time Machine I would then dearly like to go back in time. Life then was socially simple and joyful. Louis Prima sang the classic Jive talk song- I wanna be like you (Disney - Jungle Book).

Just by watching and listening to his band, you can tell that they were taming things down to appeal to middle America. However, they were good enough to play and win over any audience even those in clubs like the Cotton Club...they would have raised their game to match their audience that's how talented and adaptable they were. Just watch and listen some of his most impromptu performances on KZbin and you'll see how good his band and he were at their best.
