One of the or THE BEST film about 🎷 Jazz. Saw this movie I when I was 7 years old. It was released the same day as my birthday 🎂 My parents were BIG jazz fans and like SDJ as well. One of the first times I saw people of colour in positive roles. . .

The quality of this clip is so good, especially since came out in the 60s! Wow.

[@jammmessenger]

Sammy is so good he has that flugel horn sounding like a cornet

[@gennettor8915]

Actually it's Cannonball Addertly who plays this - but yes, he has a great tone.

[@jammmessenger]

@@gennettor8915 No ! It’s actually Nat Adderly playing Cornet ( Cannonball plays alto sax) I guess my sarcasm did not come off and print. That was a joke 😉

[@fatheadthedog]

Cannonball adderley is a sax player!

The beauty over Sammy's right shoulder at 1:05...who is THAT!!

[@OldFashionedSavior]

3:26 Irony That We Hear Also The Tenor Sax And Trombone But They Are Not Playing.

[@danmurtha1631]

a flugel horn does not sound like that

[@matrox]

Was he really playing the horn?

[@christopherreece2451]

According to the Trivia Notes on IMDB, the real trumpet playing was done by Nat Adderley. Sammy did a great job selling it though!

[@gennettor8915]

No, Sammy does not play this himself.

[@thedarksideoftheforce6658]

Maybe but he did play drums, piano and other instruments extremely well. Those are live on KZbin.

[@gennettor8915]

@@thedarksideoftheforce6658 Indeed but Sammy Davis did not play trumpet. This was "voiced over". You can look up on Imdb who actually played on the soundtrack.

[@rudolphpickett5103]

Nat Adderley played trumpet
