This is so cool! Mary is the only female instrumentalist I have seen in footage from this era. Female singers, yes, but not players. All these 50's jazz cats and Mary just comping away there in her white dress, then she jumps in with a solo that swings as cool as any I've ever heard. Wow! She's fantastic! Thanks for posting.
Interesting. In the years since, I hope you've had the chance to check out footage of Mary Lou Williams, Dottie Dodgion, JoAnn Castle, Vi Redd, or Marian McPartland.
Mary Osborne was, without a doubt, one of the FINEST jazz guitarists of her era. Notice I didn’t say “female” guitarists? Mary was SO good, such an INCREDIBLY PROFESSIONAL jazz stylist, she could light up any all-male jam session. No doubt about it, Mary had the RESPECT of her fellow musicians...that’s obvious in these videos.
My gosh I don't know how I missed any of this but I feel like I just stepped into a musical Picasso Masterpiece painting !.... everything about this video is extremely cool I've got to learn everything I can about Mary
I wish we could force Rock players to watch this stuff and see how you can be rhythmic without beating a song to death. Everyone doesn't have to play ALL the time!
Mary takes a great solo. I also just finished the VIntage guitar feb 2011 issue..and the best thing in it was the article on Mary Osborne. made me find an LP with her and Mary McParland, and also a japanese record with her starring on it that cost me a small fortune. First time seeing her. What a kick!
There's a well-done and substantial bio about Mary in this month's issue of Vintage Guitar magazine, if anyone's interested. She was acquainted with and influenced by Charlie Christian, but had her own thing going on. Mary had to be able hang, just to hang around the jazz boys' club in those days, and she definitely could hang.
What a super band! Coleman Hawkins on the tenor saxophone, Mary Osborne on the electric guitar, Morey Feld on drum. Do you know the names of the other musicians?
I can see a lot of Hawk standing on the stage during these vids from the party, but not a lot of him playing... in other words - could you tell me in which parts he plays?
Isn't the pianist the genius who was blind.... that was some bunch of chords he's playing under the vibe cat....anyone remember his name? Peace out....
haha right? The diff between a good player n a great player> Great players play on the back of the beat to give the music more swing..good players play on top of the beat aka play slightly ahead of the beat.

Grunntal..."I've Got a New Baby" is the Dixieland song they are playing.
cooect title: I've found a new baby

I believe it's "I've Found A New Baby"....
I can see a lot of Hawk standing on the stage during these vids from the party, but not a lot of him playing... in other words - could you tell me in which parts he plays?
what song is this ?
Isn't the pianist the genius who was blind.... that was some bunch of chords he's playing under the vibe cat....anyone remember his name? Peace out....
This pianist is Alec Templeton , yes he was blind , originally from Wales , didn't do much real jazz which is a shame , he sounds great here .
@@rogerlegends166 Bro.. I should check in here more often.. Thanks so much for Alec's name.... yes, I too wish he'd played more or recorded some LP's.
haha right? The diff between a good player n a great player> Great players play on the back of the beat to give the music more swing..good players play on top of the beat aka play slightly ahead of the beat.
Mary Osborn maybe she was Wrecking Crew Member Joe Osborne’s older Sister nawww.
Who is that corny piano player?
Nothing corny about Alex Templeton.
