This version of the tune is very watery compared with the one in the 1954 movie. That version is the best ever, and is superior to Basie's late 1930s version. Hymie Schertzer's rich lead alto is marvelous, and you also get Buck Clayton (seen, but not heard, in this video), Urbie Green and Stan Getz.
@@iancarranza4153I think it's a scene from the movie. Buck Clayton is the trumpeter, and Gene Krupa, of course, is on drums. Buck was not listed on the U.S. LPs, because he was contracted to Columbia at the time. If you look at Discog's listing of the Australia release of Volume 2 of the Decca music from the movie, you will see a picture of the Sextet jam with Buck, Stan Getz and others. Buck had an unmistakeable sound and he can be heard on the two LPs - Bugle Call Rag, for example.
Wow how can anybody not find this exhilarating, regardless of what era you're from...we can use a whole lot more of this !!
OUT OF THIS WORLD !!!!
Love the Film and the Music!
ROSSEN,CONGRATULATIONS,WONDERFUL THEME. YOUR FRIEND MARIO.
Hello Mario, thank you so much for kind comment.
This version is from the 1939 (not 1938) Carnegie Hall concerts
The footage seems to be a mixture of different events. Not sure which ones (if any) actually correspond to this particular sound recording.
Fletcher Henderson , Ziggy Elman , Toots Mondello , Arthur Bernstein ... and of Course Benny Goodman .... best version
I wish this was the real song was played. This is better.
Why doesn’t the vision match the audio? Weird.

I love the music and I love the movie clips but they do not go together. What is the point? Why would anyone do this?
The music doesn’t match the pictures. Annoying

Where can I find this scene, what's the name of it?

They keep highlighting the wrong musician. The clarinet plays so they show the trumpets. His first solo, the sound was a sax. Yikes!
No co-incidence It took a Jew to form the first racially integrated big band. Long live the memory of Benny Goodman
