Woody Allen Plays the Clarinet | The Dick Cavett Show

[@jackm4457]

Ah, how I miss the good old days when I could laugh at Woody Allen without getting a lecture.

[@lukeskywalker6809]

Beep beep Jack.

[@simonajezkova]

i am quite new fan of woody allen, so saying something about him in public costs me an absurd amount of nasty glares from family, friends and even complete strangers. what a sad world to live in.

That's peak professionalism right there, being hilarious, interesting, informative and aesthetically pleasing as a musician at the same time. I'm extremely impressed!

[@terrytragianopoulos9345]

A fan of Woody Allen for many years These clips from the Cavett show just show what a truly unique genius Woody is Its hard to believe he's turning 86 this December

[@mjscott65]

I saw him in London, in 2004, playing with his jazz band. Awesome night.

[@lukeskywalker6809]

Nobody can play the clarinet like Woody Allen.

[@baronmeduse]

Actually a lot of people can.

[@lukeskywalker6809]

[@baronmeduse]

He played the songs in the movie Sleeper....just learned that

[@valentinadannunzio]

He is SO GOOD with his clarinet! Wow

[@zeusminator]

Yes, sounds like he is killing a cat

[@heartpump5883]

he’s been playing at a jazz club on monday nights for many years…he’s a professional musician

[@yassveena]

Wow, what a lively, smart, warm & cool cat.

[@bartek311d]

Wow, that was awesome :)

[@jasminegee6924]

Amazing. Talented comedian plays clarinet 🎶

[@taylorford6824]

"I'm gonna make faces while I play the 5 notes I know how to play" what a comedic genius

[@arnoldwegstern5124]

Woody is playing marvellous and with many ideas. He should play together with northern Germany s clarinet and sax player Martin Schmidt-Hahn

[@Conn30Mtenor]

He's chasing Sidney Bechet's sound.

[@BioDieselEstate]

A sound he will never catch.

[@fernandoesteves8144]

I was waiting for the obrigado

[@somethingyousaid5059]

I would have liked to hear him play Frenesi.

[@williamking8033]

He makes it look sooo easy!

[@jerryleekiller80]

giusto perché è Woody Allen...fa davvero ridere il clarinetto suonato così 🤣

[@georgiostemirsidis1966]

Stop hating an innocent man and encouraging others to keep punishing him. There were two thorough investigations conducted by two differents states and they both exonerated Woody and also proved Mia Farrow's tapes were all edited.

[@boudicajones6524]

He was exonerated from marrying and fucking his daughter who he’s still married to? Because I’m pretty sure that’s part of why people find this pervert a little distasteful, despite the fact that he made some funnies two generations ago.

[@ooh11]

i totally dig him after rainyday in ny

[@seang3019]

Decent film. But check out Midnight in Paris and a above all: Annie Hall.

[@AngelofMusic04]

@@seang3019 Also "Hannah and Her Sisters", "Crimes & Misdemeanors", "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" and "The Purple Rose of Cairo". "Manhattan" definitely has its controversies, but that one's more up to the person if they want to watch it or not.

Dang he is really good

[@stevemorse108]

A very good jazz clarinetist recently told me that Woody Allen was a mediocre player....I can only put this down some personal antipathy towards him as a person.Allen even turned that quite soulful playing into a comedic moment...the man is pure genius.

[@Davidelombardi18]

He's right. Horrible sound. If you want hear very good jazz clarinet, you have to listen eddy daniels

[@arnoldwegstern5124]

Nice. But take a look at Martin Schmidt-Hahn clarinet. He would belong to Woody very well !!

[@metrognome2225]

Man, the way them women be laughin, he's got some snakes beggin to walk that way, he knows good and well what's up. And only after writing that sentence did I realize who I'm talking about but it doesn't change the facts.

[@thebrowithnoname1703]

The people laughing during his playing is annoying. Unless I’m missing something? I found his playing quite good.

[@mjt1517]

It was a comedic performance. He's juicing the audience right in front of your eyes. True master of his craft.

[@thebrowithnoname1703]

@@mjt1517 Got ya. I’ll admit, I’m not accustomed to Allen’s style of humor.

[@diytradjazz]

Winin' boy blues, George Lewis😅

[@agamemnonpadar5706]

I love Woody Allen's films and I have no problem saying that. I don't know the man personally, so I don't care what he did in his private life. If I judged artists by what they did or do, I couldn't listen to Miles Davis, read Bukowski or look at a Picasso painting. If someone tries to lecture me about such petty things and expects me to cancel the artist, he or she gets the finger pointed at me for not caring about his or her snowflake sensibilities and is kindly asked to f.o. These people only have power over you as long as you allow them that power. Again, for the slightly slower minds. You have to separate people and art, unless the artist has a special moral claim.

[@caoimhinbenjamin9998]

They kept laughing like drains but he kept playing his misic anyway.

[@billseely991]

He's great

[@Gannooch]

nothing against the other celebs that were on this show but is this channel ever going to show the Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Jackie Gleason or Art Carney? How about any Honeymooners actors that were a part of the main cast?

[@zyxmyk]

i'd forgotten how funny a comic he was. in his movies everybody sounds just like him, so i'm not that big a fan.

[@ianmac3469]

This one’s called “I married mah daughter!”

[@clintstewart5545]

she wasn't is daughter , she was adopted when Mia Farrow was with Andre Previn

[@edwarddesenne6153]

Even you , Eirik have still a long way to go to make people laugh at your playing, you play too well, my friend !

[@MarkTarmannPianoCheck_it_out]

meh. like miles said, " I can tell by the way a horn player holds the horn if he can play or not" hearing him confirms what i saw in the thumbnail. stiff phrasing,schmaltzy, sound and notes with no substance, except a lot of cheese. terrible tone. i've heard other stuff from him. no better than this.

[@jakeamberson3239]

I guess it was lost on you he was playing it for laughs and not to win your approval. If you knew anything about him you would know he takes it very serious. But this was a comedy bit. Those of us who understand irony get the joke.

[@seang3019]

He plays the way he writes. It's self conscious and self deprecating for the most part. Here he's doing it for a laugh.

[@sarumanj4205]

You don’t rate him then?

[@mjt1517]

Oh hi, mark. Think about this...he was well known, productive, and a millionaire long before you were born. You will never be featured on any TV talk show. And you won't have millions of lifelong fans. Nor will you create any films that approach even a tenth of his talent. So, in spite of all that cheese and schmaltz, he's light years ahead of you, mark.

Why don't you just focus in increasing the pathetic count of your subscribers mark? 🙄
