It's Jimmy "Wyble" on guitar...

How could you forget that John Hodiak starred as Ava's husband?

5:46

Thank You Ka!Chet was one of the super giant!Wonderful,and melancoly.

my mom and dad were at that concert in new rochelle,n.y.young kids mom 20 dad 21.

"featuring the first electric guitar recordings..." Electric guitar recordings begin in 1933 and include e.g. "Blue Guitars" by Zeke Campbell and "Dipsomania" by Len Fillis, both recorded before Eddie Durham recorded anything on electric guitar. (Durham said himself "Hittin' The Bottle" wasn't electric, but acoustic resonator.)

Well, the sounding Ab major makes it an easy F major for Bird :)

Nice!!!

Thank you so much for sharing

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great recording! Note that instead of "better rescue", BG is referring to Ignacy Paderewski, a famous concert pianist of the day.

This has a very modern sound for the period. Intriguing chart! Why the tweety sounds at the beginning? INTERDIT apparently means, forbidden, prohibited, no entry and other 'warn offs'.

Bioshock 2 brought me here :D Very beautiful song <3

thank you!

thank you, an historic recording of Benny and Fletcher, and as others have mentioned here, proof that Benny Goodman was one of the musicians that worked to integrate musicians.

To Al Gray, Nice to read your comment. I'm a great admirer of your father's work. He wrote great tunes and arrangements for Artie Shaw and Glenn Miller. A String of Pearls is my favorite, and maybe one of the best big bands arrangements ever written. From the introduction with the screaming brass, moving to the smooth interlude played by the piano, bass and guitar together, to the main theme divided in two series of harmonic and different riffs, the main played by the alto saxes and the intervals played by the tenors, I just love it ! Passage Interdit is also a great tune, one of the many that makes you feel that Jazz arranging and sounds were naturally slipping from Swing to Bop. Great work done by a great man. Thanx.

So does Miller conduct this piece or not? Bill Freytag down there says no.

"Forbidden Passage" or "Passage Forbidden"?

and balboa bash december15, 1944!!!!

tampico, yeahhh

but i prefer freddie zito for trombone solo. he was precedessor for lead and solo trombone until kai winding came out a little later. jimmy simms was known only for lead trombone, not for soloing..

thank´s for posting here. one of stan´s greatest records!!!!

"Bird" was a very good movie, although it dwelt too much on his addiction and other problems and not enough on his music. But there's still time for Eastwood or someone else to make "Bird Lives!" about the development of his musical genius.

Great!

it's all in the Key of Bird...

can any1 belive how stunning her face looks??

5:43 Lennie's solo is way ahead of it's time!

wow

delicious! and that excellent ending! lucky us that we have such hifi technology. at least we now know how they sounded!

This was my dad Jerry Gray's arrangement. He was so privileged to work for Glenn Miller and with all of those incredibly gifted musicians in this real all-star band.....and they likewise.... to work with him. al gray

Good evening KaRidder234 Chet in Milan... great, very great ! Thanks and fine days to you and your friends.

The original key of "All Of Me" (1931) is B-flat a.k.a. B-Dur (Bb). "C" is for vocalists. Ab is for the ones who prefer a warmer sound, like all the cool cats who play "All Of Me" in this key.

The standard key for All of Me is C major...it can be transposed wherever, it really depends who's playing and what they're comfortable with. I tranpose tunes on different gigs depending on who's playing horn/s and/or singing. Always consider range and the idioms of the instrument...don't be a purist...

Yes, Bird loved music at any time. And I think he plays very inspired at this particular date. This small band setting without bass, similar to the famous Benny Goodman Trio, or the highly praised Nat "King" Cole/ Lester "Pres" Young/ Buddy Rich Trio, was a great challenge for Charlie Parker. His lines are sounding like composed on the spot. He's so relaxed here. I wish there would be more.

MY MARCHING BAND IS PLAYING THIS AND "ARTISTRY IN RHYTHM" THIS YEAR!!! SO EXCITED FOR MY FIRST JAZZ SHOW!!!!!

My first exposure to Bird, early 70's, an album of outtakes found in a cut out bin. Great stuff, loved it to death, played the record to death, still have the music in digital form, still listen to it. Cool Blues, Hot Blues, much more.

So good!!♥

Great looks flying around in this scene. Especially Kerr. Ava's body language is so massively choreographed that I'm getting lit headed. Great lightings effects for this mid budget film.

this is a sad example of charlie parker working through the chords relying on his vituosity to get his next fix...nothing new,almost a character of himself.

Thanks. When I purchased the RCA-LP's, I've always preferred the mono-issues; so, here's the original sound, not the "electronically created stereo" ;)

Many of the Glen Island broadcasts were superbly caught in on-line transcriptions by NBC, who carried the band on their remotes. RCA originally issued the LPs in the early 60s, tweaking the sound a little with stereo ambience. The 50s and 60s were a golden age for Miller LP reissues by RCA. The same LP also has a terrific Miller chart of "Hold Tight," featuring Marion Hutton.

I purchased this album at a local Tower Records in West Covina, CA, in early 1980. Still have it. It is blue vinyl.

See her in East Side / West Side as James Mason's ex-girlfriend with short hair...WOW!

Many thanks for the link to this splendid jazz concert with Ol' Blue Eyes. I have the original LP. Frank's Australian tour was a triumph. And it showed once again the jazzy quality of his great singing. He was a unique artist, also beyond jazz. The Duke has established him "beyond any categories".

The following year Sinatra recorded a live show with Norvo in Australia. It's on Blue Note (Frank on Blue Note!) and you can hear some of it here: on youtube at watch?v=NxbTwd7D6b0

Missed my Metro bus transfer today by a couple minutes, put my headphones on and enjoyed the sunshine until the next one came 45 minutes later, thank you Chet, at least I have good music to brighten any "clouds" that pop up. :)

TD sits in with a hard swinging band sporting a string section trying to mirror his own, played in person flawlessly by all, this team scores even with substitute skipper, subbing for the sidelined pro!

Tristano's solo is excellent, and Parker (to my ears anyway) returns afterward, and likely inspired by what Lennie had done, plays his best choruses of the entire segment.

Billie at her Best! What an ending! Paul Whiteman struck gold when he collaborated withBillie, & that gold masterpiece was "Trav'lin Ligjt!" RIP both Billie & Paul.

Yep, that's good for you.
