Big Joe will ALWAYS have a special place in my heart. He was one of the first stars I seen live back in May 1956. I was a freshman in Dayton. It was my first live concert at the old U.D. Fieldhouse. It's gone now, but not the memories. I saw Big Joe and LaVern Baker, Clyde McPhatter, Bill Haley & The Comets, Bo Diddley, The Drifters, The Platters, Frankie Lymon & The Teenagers, and the Teen Queens (Eddie My Love). What a great concert! I've been to many over the years, but this was my first.
I'm 76 years old now and I remember when Big Joe Turner was the best thing since bubble gum my mom and dad worked in the field but sometimes after a hard time in the field to see Joe Turner was a treat I'm a blue's man from the gut to the butt and great times
Now you talkin blue's I'm 76 years old I remember my mom and uncle neighbors swing dancing to this 🐈 cat Man Big Joe Turner kicked butt back in the day, my hobby is listening to the Blues 💙🔵 big Joe Turner was the BOM as we say these days, yeah buddy roe, Papa Joe Mars be safe and happy and keep listening to the Blues don't cha know,hello Joe Turner kicked it with a big foot 🦶
simply put he was as great a blues man as there ever was ---- the greatest blues shouter we ever had ---no Joe --- no rock and roll ------- I want a little girl------ don't get any better than this !!
except the guy playing the trumpet thinks its about him and simply not tuned in but Big Joe Turner is too cool and genius to let that fool cause real damaqe
@@TERRANOVAofficial which "guy playing trumpet", there are two... ? Neither are "fools" imho, unless of course you're better than both ?. Cannot see how you think "the white guy" is like that - sure it is his band, but he's just enjoying himself and acting & playing like anyone would in this situation, nowt more, he was always a big fan of JT.
@@TERRANOVAofficial The 'guy playing the trumpet' is the late Humphrey Lyttelton who was incredibly fond and admiring of Big Joe Turner. I probably first heard Big Joe on one of Humphrey's radio programmes over 50 years ago. In his book 'Final Chorus' Humphrey had a section dedicated to Big Joe in which he tells the story of how Big Joe wanted to buy a British Radio while touring England so that he could listen to the BBC when he got home to the US. There was also a story about Joe wanting to buy a British lawnmower. Humphrey also played with other great blues shouters such as Jimmy Rushing and Jimmy Witherspoon. He was greatly liked and sought out by a lot of touring American blues and jazz artists, including the greats like Louis Armstrong. You should do a bit more study of the music before you make comments like that. Humphrey Lyttelton was no fool and he knew a lot more about jazz and blues than you apparently do.
The other guy playing the trumpet was the equally great Buck Clayton who would have played with Count Basie in Kansas City in the 1930s where Joe was a blues singing bartender. Buck was in the band with Lester Young and other greats like blues shouter Jimmy Rushing. He also would have played with Billie Holiday. More free education on the history of jazz and blues. You need to know where the music came from before judging it.
Big wheel from Mississippi. When I was a kid I used to sit in my room and smoke dope and listen to Big Joe Turner wail. Him and Bobby bland and Joe Williams and Little Willie John. My dad thought I was nuts.
Wonderful - at long last! I've been waiting to see this full show for many, many years. What a superb singer - no flash, just good, honest power, tone and swing. Thank you Jan for posting it.
My all-time favorite singer, I first heard in 1954 , "Shake Rattle and Roll" after hearing it I converted to Jocko's radio show, I'm listening to " I Want A Little Girl" right now, sorry Ray Charles but you're not even close on this song- I saw Joe live during a Dec. snow storm in 1957 at the Academy Of Music in Philly, what a thrill. He's one of three great singers # 1 Joe Turner # 2 Ray Charles #3 Otis Redding I really enjoy. Howard Ravitsky
Best versions of "Chains of Love" and "I Want a Little Girl." Big props to Johnny Parker throughout for a real masterclass. Also, this full concert is an excellent example of why calling Big Joe a "blues shouter" does not nearly do him justice. He was a fantastic singer who brought a lot of subtlety out of these songs, especially the ballads.
Ja Jan, daar was Elvis Presley heel blij mee... Shake Rattl & Roll. Big Joe Turner, de hoeksteen van de Rock & Roll maar dan veel beter yeah !! Wow super show man!! *
You must be a very proud cousin, I would be for sure. Thank's to your family for the great music Big Joe gave us. He's still a inspiration for many. His music lives on.
I love Big Joe. I think that part of the reason this style was common was that it allowed the singer to 'cut' through the backing band on records and in performance halls and be heard better. I wonder if the improvement of audio technology simply removed the selection pressure for these kinds of singers, sadly.
Joe was great, of course, but I was a little surprised to find that the Blues Bands of the early 60s weren't the first British musicians to understand and play the Blues - Humph and his band probably were!
I dig and love them bothe and appreciate what bothe did for music, there's nothing to see one bigger then the other in my oppinion….Hope they ever met and had a great night!
Good but sad to see Johnny Butts. Fine drumer who played with Roland Kirk, He died in a road accident in Bermuda in 1966, aged 25. the year after this concert.
Humphrey Lyttleton was one of the gretest mainstream jazz trumpeters ever. Not an innovator, but simply an excellent trumpeter. Buck Clayton was a great friend of Humph and they often played together while Vic Dickenson played often in UK with a variety of other American musicians,
What's up with the people in the audience? Very few of them are smiling after the end of the songs. Are they just there to "expand their musical horizons" and they just aren't getting it or what? Could say so much more but the people who get this music know!
Big Joe Turner was the champion of this kind (sub-genre) of The Blues - traditional jazz "band" setting, horns, etc. [Of course, Big Joe Williams of Basie band fame was great too. To bring everything kind of full circle, as most of you know, both B B KIng (guitar based but with horns) and Big Joe Williams with Count Basie Band had hit versions of Everyday I Have The Blues. The Basie arrangement was....well, I think "perfect" is the best word. Years later B B confirmed this when he overlaid his own vocal over the Basie arrangement done for Big Joe Williams. Sorry for the digression.]
I don't know the truth to this, but about 25 years ago, I read that somewhere in the mid-60's Joe Turner was appearing for as little as 50$ for a night. If true, how sad!
There weren't any name checks here I don't think; so was the English band Kenny Ball & His Jazzmen? And the piano player was hot as were the other players; an all round brilliant level of musicianship topped off with Big Joe Turner himself.
Humphrey Lyttelton Band :-) Buck Clayton, trumpet; Vic Dickenson, trombone; Big Joe Turner, vocal; accompanied by Humphrey Lyttelton and his Orchestra: Humphrey Lyttelton, trumpet; Tony Coe, tenor sax; Joe Temperley, baritone sax; Eddie Harvey, piano, trombone; Johnny Parker, piano; Dave Green, acoustic double bass; Johnny Butts, drums. Underneath the video you can mostly find info about the content.

While technically proficient, this all white band lacked the soul, energy, verve and enthusiasm of Joe’s previous backing bands. Wish it weren’t true, but look back and his earlier performances.
My Uncle on the piano!

What a fabulous Blues legend Big Joe is. I could listen to his music for hours!
I listen to nothing but the blues when I'm sad the blues makes me happy without the blue's there would be no happiness in my life 🎶 can you dig it😊
God Blessed us with Big Joe talent!
Boss of the Blues...

He's talking about who he likes, not who you like. Make your own lists.
Love Joe Turner! This is one of the coolest films on TH-cam.
Yes it is!!
Yes I know this video with Humphrey Lyttelton, nice.
Big Joe Turner. Truly a musical legend...
That's why he was know as Big Joe Turner, huge , big , great voice, with a deep feelings!!!
Nary a smile from that remarkably stoic audience.
British audiences weren't up to whooping and yelling in those days. Different matter now though.
@@mikeos1 They didn’t even smile back then it appears.
A great pioneer and personality of the art is Big Joe Turner .
Fantastic I wish this music was around now it's
His music is still played by many Jump Blues and Rockabilly bands thru out the world.
So glad to discover this! This is PHENOMENAL!!!

That’s great to know! Joe sang at my wedding-I just came across some correspondence from Pat.
Wonderful!
The greatest, where are the blues shouters today?(2016)
Sadly a lost art. Musical sensibilities change, you dig?

Nowhere, Brian. I think it is because of the demise of the big band format. The bottom line is probably money.
Joe was great, of course, but I was a little surprised to find that the Blues Bands of the early 60s weren't the first British musicians to understand and play the Blues - Humph and his band probably were!
The audience is a scream! So polite and well mannered, it was a different time.
Nice to see and hear this. Saw big Joe and Humph (but no Vic D) in Liverpool in 1965. A great evening.

Hey Jerry Lee L. I really love you.... but here we have the father of the Boogie Woogie Big Joe!!!!!!

I was just thinking that.
These guys were as blue as whites can get :)Maybe they were very light blue?Fantastic anyway....♥
Υπέροχο!
I believe this is Anita Pointer of the Pointer Sisters Introducing Big Joe. Can anyone confirm this?
This is it the real thing.
Right
When was this show aired? It looks like a 90s show (based on her clothes) celebrating the 50s and 60s. Is that correct?

I stand corrected, trumpeter and trombonist were indeed, black. Still I submit a very watered down performance
I call bullshit on you . Great drummer, pianist and the rest. How old are you? They can play and with feeling.
