A short clip featuring the one and only Mendez playing Samba Gitana on the Milton Berle Show back in 1951. He's not in top form, but check out those dance moves!

Awesome talent. If it wasn't for you and people like you (and KZbin!)the world would forget this in a generation. Now they won't. Thank you for sharing with the planet. Did he ever perform with Louis Armstrong? That show would have been beyond words.

You know, another thing I notice about Rafael, that I didn't realize from only listening to recordings is that he really moves his trumpet around while playing. That really makes it HARDER to play when he's doing that. To maintain lips, buzzing and airflow, fingers etc. Usually at the end he's got his trumpet way in the air, it is really awkward to play well like that. Again hats off to Mr. Mendez. I guess the trumpet flowed through him like the force!

Un mexicano más, que no fue valorado en su país, podía haber sido secretario o embajador de cultura, la revolución no le beneficio en nada. Salio a flote por merito propio, pues tambioe fue explotado por sus representantes, en las películas lo ridiculizan, pero no pueden ridiculizar su talento.

I'm not sure if it's the technology of the times, but he doesn't sound as great as I've heard him before.
