Muggsy Spanier "At The Jazzband Ball"

There is not very much video on classic age trumpeter Muggsy Spanier, pianist Joe Sullivan or clarinetist Darnell Howard bassist Pops Foster, so this meeting in a 1960s San Francisco tv studio under the guidance of host Ralph Gleason is a real treasure.

Go Muggsy Go, you'll always live forever, and some. Most young people don't even know what a cornet is let alone understand dixieland music, thank God l appreciate ya.😉🎺🎶🎼🎵🎺

I saw Muggsy Spanier about 70 years ago. He was the very first band I heard. It was a place called Central Plaza. Walking by him as this music enveloped you is an experience for the ages. Listening now brings back the sounds of one of the greatest bands ever. Thanks for the video.

Thanks, I don't know that trombonist and was wondering.

[@geraldnichols2722]

On this my second listen---- I think Mielke should have had wider renown.

[@JAZZCLASSIQUE]

Except for the replacement of Earl by Joe Sullivan, and Jimmy Archey by the average white trombonist, this is the band that Earl Hines was leading at the Hangover Club in San Francisco. There was a double vinyl album of this band .

Damn son this was on KQED. That station still runs PBS up here in the bay. Didn't know it was that old.

[@gprice6047]

They're all having a great time. That piano solo was brilliant

[@hotice8885]

Muggsy seems like ONE COOL GUY to be around; wish I could have met him!

[@mikealbiniak3053]

Muggsy and Joe were original members of the Austin High Gang that created the Chicago style of jazz in the late 1920's. The technique they used toward the end where the band played very soft for most of a phrase but got very loud for the last 2 bars and then played another soft phrase but got very loud on the last beat of the last measure are pure Chicago style techniques called a "flare up" and an "explosion" respectively.

Thanks for the "copy/paste" style info :) Deep knowledge about nothing

@@so70aeiou you're so interesting and deep you have no name - except one. JERK!

[@monoyamono]

@@so70aeiou It's a shame you take the opportunity to be mean after someone made the effort to share their love of great music. I hope you're feeling less cynical now and I hope you enjoy the music and the comment without feeling the need to be unnecessarily cruel. Hugs.

[@so70aeiou]

@@monoyamono Well, I just love jazz. Bad performance will shoo away new people who want to understand this music. And that's a pity. Making music and movies are arts. I feel like we are drowning in junk and quality is more and more difficult to find. I wished people would be more selective when they post.

I love the Music, art it is.

Saw Muggsy at the 1964 Newport Jazz Festival. A terrific show. Joe Sullivan was scheduled to appear but took sick, replaced by George Wein.

WOW!

[@speedyneutrino1729]

I've been a saxophone player since my days in our high school band and I do fairly well with it...............BUT I'm SO ENVIOUS of musicians who play like these. The music just seems to flow out of them....it seems so natural..................sigh.

[@geraldnichols2722]

Don't fret---- I can play trombone like that, but can't read in a section!

[@wallaceharper1007]
