There's a great old movie from 1948 called 'A Song Is Born' with Danny Kaye and Virginia Mayo that features parts by many of the great band leaders and their orchestras, and one part features several of those leaders, including Louis and Lionel Hampton, doing a jam session at this music academy. Just great. It used to be on YouTube, but has disappeared lately. I wish they'd bring it back. There's some great music in it, from back when there was such stuff....
Awe, Louis the horn, the horn....
ReplyDeleteYes, there's only one Number One.
