Standard primetime weekend TV when I was a teenager. Musical variety shows like Jackie Gleason, Steve Allen and Ed Sullivan. Great entertainment by real professionals. Those were the days.
Originally telecast on May 2, 1964.
How sweet it is!!
I have had Gleason’s albums on CD and mp3 but never seen him conduct. Im 36 and been listening since I was 15. We go way back.
A year or two older than you and also very much a fan of Mr Gleasons!
@@calvinjamesmontgomery3865Same. A year or two or 30.
I miss Jackie Gleason!
I miss King Curtis.
So do I. His whole generation.
Boy, they sure did swing! Outstanding!
Aretha Franklin and King Curtis Live at the Fillmore West are great albums. Underrated sax player cut down in his prime
I can't agree that King Curtis was underrated. Curtis Ousley was Aretha's musical director and very well respected in the music biz. Cut down in his prime for sure.
Bless U B, I for remembering Aretha, and King Curtis!
He was cut down here in Harlem way to young. RIP U Beautiful King andQueen. U will never, be forgotten!
They didn’t call Gleason the “great one” for nothing. And the same compliment can be applied to King Curtis!
For years I have enjoyed music of Jackie Gleason. Always loved Big Band.
Milt Hinton on bass, Hank Jones on piano.
Unusual big band, with all those strings! Thanks for the post! Definitely swinging!
It's typically referred to as a studio orchestra.Totally awesome.
@@rickwhite5388 Completely atypical. No studio orchestra or symphony has EIGHT TROMBONES. This was more like two big bands with one rhythm section plus strings
A big band with strings wasn't big enough for Jackie.
I love this. I have been a fan of Big Band music ever since I was 12, during 1974. I always liked Stomping at the Savoy, and Don't Be that way.
Killer! Curtis was a monster and a prolific producer and arranger who changed the sound of popular music!
King Curtis was one of the warm up acts before the Beatles played at Shea Stadium in 1965! John Lennon remembered King in ‘ 71 and got him to play on his iconic “Imagine” album!
To hear that kind of music in person, is to be in the presence of greatness. Will give you goosebumps...unless that is you're not breathing. King Curtis was The Man!!
It was Duane Allman's praise of him that started me paying attention to King Curtis. As kids, we loved Jackie Gleason and "Away we go!"
Comedian, Actor, Producer, and he could Conduct a full orchestra.
Let's see Madonna, Jay-Z or Billie Eilish do that.
Excellent comment. Gleason had more all around talent than any pop music star these days.
Not sure he was really conducting. A talented guy no doubt, but waiving you hand around out of rhythm doesn’t really equate to leading an orchestra.
@@OBC-radio Until you stand in front of an orchestra.
The man had a gift for sure..
Amazing that there appear to be about 24 string players along with the classic big band of horns plus rhythm section!
I've posted 'Jackie Gleason Conducts His Own Orchestra' here on YT where he does THIS tune, "Tollgate Treat" LIVE on "The Kate Smith Show" on CBS.with over 100 musicians... A more WILD performance!!!... with Jimmy Crawford on drums and Charlie Shavers doing solos.
Was that Charlie Ventura on your video?
I wondered who the great drummer was, thanks!
@@joseluistorres2696 Charlie didn't appear on that CBS show
Sure wasn't nothing like a good old fashioned Saturday Late Night with Jackie Gleason, Audrey Meadows, Art Carney and the Wonderful "Trixie" in the 1980's!!!
The 80's? I don't remember that...I think you have the wrong decade. Try the 50's, 60's or 70's...
@@samsmith4216 must have been a comment from a Chatbot 😆 Always just a little “off”… (“ bang zoom!”)
Absolutely Excellent! Have many Jackie Gleason records on Capitol SW Stereo LPs. Thanks for finding this video
Jackie Gleason had a part as a bass player in the 1942 film, "Orchestra Wives", as part of the Gene Morrison Orchestra played by the Glenn Miller Orchestra...
Remember it well. I believe Ceasar Romero is the piano 🎹 player as well.
Thanks for posting! More please from the early 1960s version of The American Scene Magazine/Jackie Gleason -
JG didn’t conduct the band so much, but he did take it home in the end.👏🏻👏👏🏿👏🏻👏🏾👏🏼👏🏽
Jackie is awesome
So miss this being popular
This is better than the studio version
Wow! Eight trombones? Never seen that many in any big band or jazz orchestra. And as far as I can see, looks like there are two bass trombones: one at the very far right hand end of the group, and the other one is the guy 4th in from the right end.
.
Also, I've never seen a conductor hold a cigarette the whole time! Like to see that at some symphony concert someday ... Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony ... or Bach's Bminor Mass ... guy standing there leading the orchestra .. Marlboro in his hand.
My old friend Eddie Bert is the 4th trombonist from the left and I see Cliff Heather on the far right on bass bone.
@@customkey Alan Raph up there too..Ernie Royal lead tpt
The great King Curtis !!!
The 60 minutes interview said he couldn't read or write music yet his scores sold thousands!
Absolutely marvelous
He certainly proved his point! That's some kind of sax, how sweet it is!
Killer sounds!
INCREDIBLE ♥🎵🎶🎵🎤😎
Go Jackie
Nice to see male-only a band again.
Are you sure it's an all man band?

The Great One
I wish this had the date in the description. ✅
the great one
Ba-BA-Ba-ba!!!! Swing Big Daddy, go ahead!!
An acre of strings...
From his Riff Jazz album...
Jackie Gleason's life must have been just one big part! Lucky bastard!
Amazing!
God damn 💙💜🔥🔥🔥
Duane wanted his friend King Curtis to be in the Allman Brothers Band.
what a class act!!!
Swing violins. God bless 'em.
🎉🎉🎉
OH YEAH !
Swingin’
Oooooh mannnn,oooohhhh.
He uses no baton, but never puts his cigarette down. Ha!
King Curtis was great but the bass player was pretty good too.
Probably Milt Hinton....and Hank Jones at the keys
Smoking isn’t good for us, but they lived a better life.
Props to the band for making do without a proper “conductor”… what exactly did Jackie do on all of “his” albums?
Brand with his name
Jackie met with the arranger/conductor of the album and suggested what the orchestra should sound like. He might suggest a few tunes. Otherwise he just signed the checks.
Band/Orchestra.....not just a big band here.....and big bands never stopped swinging....so the premise is weak....but Jackie was fantastic !!!
What year did this episode air?
what a versatile talent,, wonder what his IQ was
If you are reading this you must have a high iq
Terrible saxophone solo.
No upfront melody. Bad sound mix,
How sweet it is!
