"Stompin' at the Savoy", is a 1934 jazz standard composed by Edgar Sampson. It is named after the Savoy Ballroom.
Although the song is credited to Benny Goodman, Chick Webb, and Edgar Sampson, and the lyrics by Andy Razaf, in reality the music was written and arranged for Chick Webb's band by Sampson, who was the band's alto saxophonist. It was recorded as an instrumental by both Webb and Benny Goodman, whose recording was the bigger hit. Lyrics were added by Andy Razaf, who wrote the lyrics to many popular songs. Goodman and Webb got their names added to the song when their bands recorded it (Wiki).
Louis used to play in my old mans pub, Kelly’s, he was always a really nice bloke. I met him one day in Dublin in the early 90s , hi Liam long time no see and how is your mum. One of nature’s nice people!
i was always a big fan of peter ainscough... master craftsman and a true gent
The praise this amazing player gets from fellow musicians sums up his skill, a players player. Thanks for this
Louis is a guitar giant. All young guitar players should listen to him and be inspired by his tight tempo and deep sense of swing. Jazz can evolve, it is natural however without swing it does not mean a thing...
It is what is good about humanity Thank you for posting this.
Louis Stewart has played as member of Benny Goodman's Band; George Shearing's Trio &Quartet; Tubby Hayes Band; Ronnie Scott's Band.
He played a weeks residency at The Village Vanguard,New York with Peter Washington, Bass & Kenny Washington, Drums.
He has played with Stan Getz;Dizzy Gillespie & also with Woody Herman's Orchestra.
An absolute incredible musician The tone from his guitar should earn an award alone Fantastic
Wow, Thank you for this great clip from Louis.What a truly great Player he is. Wonderful to see the quite awesome Steve Laspina too, it is an extra treat to see the late Pete Ainscough in better health, R.I.P
Here is Downbeat Magazine writing of Louis Stewart:"Extraordinary high levels of focused creative playing..,he must be considered one of the instrument's world class players"
Holy smokes. Can't believe that I'm only now learning about Louis Stewart. What great timing and touch. Impeccable, in fact. Thank you for posting this.
Oh, ok. thanks for getting back to me. And I think Louie Stewart is the greatest underexposed jazz musician in the world.
One thing I notice about Louis in all the videos besides his mastery of bop language and his instrument, is his great taste in guitars! I’ve seen with L7s, Super 400s, ES-150, ES-175 among others.
He got through a ton of guitars. The traders loved him. Ha ha
Keep them coming. This viewing should be mandory for all who aspire to true musicianship. Jim
thanks MOGLIDER for posting this. I have had the honour of playing with Louis a couple of times when he guested with our Sunday band. Singularly the greatest musician I could ever wish to play with :)
It's difficult to pick and choose, but this is certainly among the very best videos of Louis that I've yet seen... just magnificent stuff. Thanks as always, MOGLIDER.
Louis is a beautiful musician! Wonderful playing by all concerned. Thank you for sharing this...:)
Louie is one of the truly great musicians of our time, the guy can play his ass off! I`ve been watching Louie for 30 years now and played with him several times, there is No great guitar player.
This is crazy to watch, I just watched Louis getting schooled on how to vamp the ending of this tune with Benny Goodman, now here he is schooling Steve at the end! The student had become the master! Once again...jazz school is not like this anymore!
Stunning stuff! thank you for this.Wish I had seen this gig live,they are having a ball, more please!!!!
@sussed2002 Thank you for your comment. Peter was a great friend.
New York-based guitarist Dave O’Rourke, who was mentored by Louis, said: “Louis Stewart set the bar so high in Dublin that those of us who moved abroad to play, especially me in New York, had already been exposed to jazz played at it’s highest level.”
Acknowledging his own personal debt to Louis and his playing, Dave added: “His legacy can be heard, and will live on in those of us who came after him.”
thanks so much for this. i knew Louis, he played in a venue i worked at in Dublin and I was absolutely blown away. when i returned home to the US i began evangelizing him and his playing. i was so sad to hear that he passed away, but i'm so lucky to have known him for a short time and to have had access to his incredible talent on a weekly basis. i'll never forget him.
that's pure jazz :D Loooooove it!
4:33 bass solo is amazing!
Steve LaSpina has played festivals with Benny Carter; Stan Getz; PhilWoods;Clark Terry;Chet Baker; Randy Brecker; Pat Martino;Joe Williams; Mark Murphy & Recorded with Jim McNeely& Fred Hirsch.
