Steve Allen's Music Room: Show #5 - with Terry Gibbs All-Star Band

[@rick21090]

What a collection of talent and legend greats in one place. Got goose bumps. ❤

[@jamescampoccio1152]

Brilliant. Steve Allen. Behind the scenes, master director. Self effacing. Bringing out the very very best in every actor performer.

[@dagmarwirz9424]

Some of the greats in the music business, love them all & miss this kind of music now days

[@jakela671]

Sarah Vaughan was a human musical instrument. Glorious.

[@MidnightJazzer]

These days are gone forever | A masterful show hosted by Allen / with the a hole host of greats, Mancini, Vaughn & the most excellent Dizzy Gillespie with bent horn negotiating a Night in Tunisia.

[@lbj6771]

Gone forever, that's for sure the saddest thing...

[@daplace902]

Man, these were great to watch ... Thank You !

[@TGmovier]

You are very welcome!

[@desperatetimes5873]

So great to see everyone in this. Those were the days.

[@steveflor9942]

Plas Johnson - genius saxophonist. 92 yrs old as of this post.

[@itstheburnz]

What a great show....Sarah! Holy moly!

[@vova47]

"Chelsea Bridge" is neither Duke Ellington nor Johnny Hodges classic, though they performed it, but a masterpiece by the great Billy Strayhorn.

[@ToniFromBrooklyn]

At least someone here knows what is going on!

[@joycepaulson2788]

I see a Berghoffer, a Condoli, a Capp, a Florey, a Hyde, a Johnson and I haven't hit the 10:00 mark! Such fun seeing the old pals.

[@michaelchapman4955]

'Chuck Berghofer, Conti Condoli, Capp, 'Alan Broadbent on piano, Johnson, Hyde, Med Flory, Gus Bivona, Terry Gibbs, etc... were all part of the LA SFV Jazz Club scene for many moons... & Mancini was a modern-day Cole Porter

[@michaelchapman4955]

'Med Flory & Supersax's take on "Just Friends" is as good as it gets

[@2005dave]

Both Candolis. Pete (as well as Plas) actually played on the Panther cartoons. And I did not know this show was directed by Frank Buxton, one of the great creative forces of the day.

[@mescko]

I love the fact that they Gave Plas Johnson the recognition he deserved for playing on the original recording of a tune that is as close to unforgettable as any will ever be. I was hoping that they would. I have two of his three LP's from Capitol, great stuff.

[@2005dave]

Plas was listed on the main titles of the original Pink Panther film, a rarity in those days.

[@jnadle1]

Had Peter Sellers still been around, they could've used this for a future Pink Panther movie.

[@michaelchapman4955]

I see LA Supersax Med Flory on flute & Sax & Conti Condoli & Bill Berry on the trumpet in the Terry Gibbs All-Star Band here at the KTLA Sunset & N Bronson Ave Steve Allen's Studio 'Kinda cool...

[@Visionsla]

How can you miss Pete on the trumpet? Conte is on the end and Pete next to John Audino. Both Conte and Pete play together as well.

[@jakela671]

The best version of Night in Tunisia is by the great duo Kai Winding and JJ Johnson. Look it up.

[@stevetintweiss]

Nice Carl Fontana trombone solo

[@dab505279]

Love it.

[@jimcapone2593]

I cant imagine that there were 3 people out there taht did not like this! ??????

[@jackignatius]

Wow! News to me!

[@sebastianbernardo9900]

Note that Steve has to explain to Henry Mancini about the Jacksonville Jazz Festival. He seems to never have heard of it. Henry Mancini, greatest composer in film history, with 6 Academy awards, and 20 Grammys, plus Lifetime Achievement Award. Dizzy Gillespie, the one hit wonder, whose tune "Manteca " had popular success for one week in 1949. Who was the real "fad."

[@ericcriteser4001]

Bill Mahr. I had no idea. Plus, he looks sooo short.

[@larrysmith6797]

He is short.

[@brooklynguy-b4m]

Featured guest here, Dizzy Gillespie, is quoted in the Ken Burns Documentary as saying that earlier Jazz was good for its time but those were childish times, Does anyone know exactly what he meant?

[@irgski]

Bill Maher???

[@dshore9535]

Isn't Jerry Dodgion in front too. Bill Maher when he was only 12 years old.

[@redinhodaflauta1269]

Not Jerry Dodgion - although I agree with you about similarity of appearance - rather Gus Bivona on 2nd alto (the great Med Flory on lead).
