I have been to one of his concerts and I can say "MUSIC CONNECTS PEOPLE" !!!
Everyone was dancing and singing, black, white, young or old......everybody had fun!!! IT WAS GREAT
is that FREDDIE HUBBARD on trumpet ? goodness me......
oh,i see below someone suggests,Clark Terry . . pure class,either way . The apparent dislocation between jazz and rock'roll healed in a night of joy.
The finest version of this "Hamp´s Boogie Woogie" is played faster, 1991 or 92 at Munich Klaviersommer, Hampton´s Golden Men of Jazz with the St. Petersburg Staatsorchester, it blows you away! I only have this as a mp3 but may do a video with pix up here, you MUST have listened to it! :)
Is that Teddy Wilson at the piano? I enjoyed this clip very much.... it shouldn't be forgotten that the old Playboy magazines was so much more than centerfolds, it also patroned jazz music
