I recall an interview where Harry Edison said, "If you didn't have time (rhythm), you couldn't make it in the Basie band, because Basie's band was the swinginest band in the land". And he was right. And the fact that he DID make it in the Basie band is all that you need to know.
I saw Harry Edison at the cork opera house in 1982/3 with the Count Basie alumni. 18 piece band, every one of whom was over 80. They finished with him playing his own “sweet Lorraine”. It was spellbinding
It's an insult to even have the "dislike"/thumbs down option present here! How on earth could ANYONE possibly dislike such a great performance? Jimmy Woode and Sir Charles are somewhat lesser know than the others, but prove here to be every bit as outstanding as masters of their craft. Such great camera and recording work here, too!
Coleman played in King Oliver's band back in 20s. There he played with Louis Armstrong for some time. Then he took a great part in the Swing Era where together with Lester Young he was a leading sax for years. Finally, he was among the founders of the bebop jazz in yearly 50s. Since Coleman and other giants of the time passed away jazz haven't made much of a progress. Thats why we are still listening them today.
Louis Armstrong played with King Oliver and then he played with Fletcher Henderson along with Coleman Hawkins and others. However, I have had difficulty finding much about Hawkins playing with King Oliver.
Thanks for posting this. Disorder at the Border is at least one name for this tune. I have it being performed by a 1947 group that included Dexter Gordon.
Esses negros eram maravilhosos ! Elegantes sempre em todas as apresentações. Música de altíssima qualidade e bom gosto. Coleman Hawkins, sax tenor; Harry Edison, trunpet ; Sir Charles Thompson, paino (show); Jimmy Woode, bass e Jo Jones, drums, fizeram carreira no Jazz e foram conhecidos mundialmente. Alguns já faleceram mas ficou a música e o filme, agora, em vídeo graças a modernidade. Só assim, as novas gerações poderão perceber que a música negra, como acontece no Brasil, não é só o funk, mais é muito, muito e muito mais...
Good to hear Hawk here. I thought Rollins exploited him unfairly by recording with him on Sonny's terms, not Hawk's. Tempo is a little too fast to permit Hawk to get a grip and dig in.
I saw that too. Third valve-only is "false fingering" for trumpet E and A. Can be a little out of tune not using the "correct" combo of first and second valves for those notes as you observe. I guess lots of players including great ones like Mr. Edison use some false fingerings in rapid soloing. Man, I never heard him playing open horn before (usually solos with harmon mute - his specialty). Interesting that Coleman Hawkins and Jo Jones appeared together (along with Roy Eldridge) a few years earlier in an episode of the great TV series "Route 66".
You just don’t hear the name Harry “Sweets” Edison much anymore. Just a fantastic trumpet player.

After Sweets left Basie I believe he had a long run with Sinatra. Really interesting career.

Wow! This is fantastic
My Father Preston Love, who played lead with Basie- he always praised Sweets, Sir Charles, and of course his Buddy The Jo Jones

Disorder at the border. One of my favourite. Coleman Hawkins one of the greatest ts artist..
Love how the rhythm section isn't playing it safe all the time and aren't afraid to take it out sometimes.5 stars for everyone on this performance.
I don't know if they knew how to play it safe when it's show time. (lol)
Great posting. The performance surpasses the test of time by all the musicians.
Jo Jone's reaction to Jimmy Woode saying, "Smokin weed Smokin weed" - absolutely kills me...
Spectacular!!!five giants playing together!!!great music and marvellous solos!!!!thank you so much for this delight!!!
Duke's bassist for the immortal Ellington at Newport '56 with Paul Gonsalves show-stopping 30 choruses on Diminuendo and Crescendo in Blue.
Thank you very much. THIS IS THE TRUTH!
When Giants walked amongst us
Holy words...

He was in Fletcher Henderson’s band with Louis not Joe Oliver’s!
Jimmy Woode had a huge jazz resume. He played with so many greats, including Ellington. What a huge tone! Wonderful player.
With Ellington in the unforgettable concert with "Diminuendo and Crescendo in Blue" in july 1956
I had the pleasure to speak with him a long time ago in a french jazz club !! Such a nice and sweet person ! Great memories !!
Do i dream or is this real ... some god of mercy made that video and beamed me to jazz heaven

wowowowowow
Oh yeah, this piano man know he’s bad

😃🌾🌱💙
I noticed Sweets playing some notes with only the third valve. Any idea why? The notes don’t always sound high enough that they have slotting issues.
I saw that too. Third valve-only is "false fingering" for trumpet E and A. Can be a little out of tune not using the "correct" combo of first and second valves for those notes as you observe. I guess lots of players including great ones like Mr. Edison use some false fingerings in rapid soloing.

拍手
what is this tune called?
reid immel : Disorder At The Border
Looked like Philly Joe was prepared to swing a solo, but Mr. Edison took it to the head.
Not "Philly Joe" Jones, but Jo Jones. "Papa" Jo Jones.
Philly Joe is a different person; this is the original Jo Jones - absolute greatest drummer.
What is the name of this song?
disorder at the border
Peter McNichol Thanks. This is an excerpt from the BBC Jazz 625series. The whole performance of these particular musicians was exceptional.
Wow 11 clueless people.
Great jazz video.
Why you say that?
Brian Kasperitis today 13 clueless people. 13 thumb down.

Too much Joe Jones on drums !
I love Hawk but this solo right here is rather boring. He wasn't in his prime no more. Sweets is on fire, by the way.
Even geniuses have their off days!
cymbals are way too loud in this mix. Very cluttered sounding.
