Roy Eldridge - I Can't Get Started download song

How does he do THAT. I can listen to Roy for ages, he is just INCREDIBLE.

This comment section seemed lonley

God's in the house. Good night.

THANKS for uploading a video, of Roy, at his, characteristic, best. Also, it's Osie (not Ozie) Johnson, on drums. There's a vibraphone in the background, and a bass player ... but don't know who either are.

yes that true!!!

smoking while playing shouldbe made compulsory; it must help ,just look at these ol` cats.

As much as I love Roy and Dizzy's  playing, smoking did them both in, in getting the air thru their horns. Young wind musicians: all smoking does is maybe make you look cool but destroys your lung capacity and the amount of air you can put through your horn. Cigarettes WILL destroy your lung capacity; Cigars will sooner than you think destroy you lip and lung capacity, smokeless tobacco will kill you lip. Drugs of abuse in general, including the genuine poison of alcohol will take control if you let them and they will destroy you: BEST of my advise: Stay clear of alcohol and any other mind altering substance.Last time I saw Diz was in 1987 at Blues Alley in Georgetown, D.C. that keen intelligent, playful force had faded from his eyes: I think he knew he was dying. Diz  tried his best  in '87 to  recreate who he was at his height like I'd never saw from anyone. Too many cigars & Liver Cancer (from whatever cause) did him in.
