Lionel Hampton and Benny Goodman - Stealing Apples (high quality)

best thing I've seen all week. No, all month. What the hell, best thing I've seen all year.

I was very fortunate to meet and speak to Goodman, Hampton and Charlie Barnett (the latter by phone to set up an interview with the host of the radio show I helped on) back in my teens in the late '70s. All wonderful people. I met other greats as well, and boy was I lucky. Fantastic clip--thanks!

Did you recognize Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong and the great trombinist band leader Tommy Dorsey in the background?!

The Jazz The Best Music of The World

We don’t see talent like this much anymore.

What is Seinfeld’s Cosmo Kramer doing behind Benny? lol

Loved the movie

Love the wardrobe in this scene. Very realistic and not overly glamorized. Lots of variation. Mel and Harry sporting t-shirt and jacket look that wouldn't be out of place today.

This is by far my favorite version of this tune. Does anyone know of an album version with the same vibe? (no pun intended)

I couldn't recognize everyone in the room. But in the back am sure that was Charlie Barnett, Louis Armstrong, and I think Tommy Dorsey. Am sure there were other greats there. Great clip.

i love this and the movie
Virginia Mayo,Dany Kaye love all
i love American classic movies

Wow that's great jazz👍😎

Man, I watched this movie with my Dad three times!! It was and still is AWESOME! That and the Glenn Miller Story too! I went to high school in the late seventies and graduated in the early eighties. I think I was one of the few kids who listened to Black Sabbath, Rush, the Beatles, the Stones AND listened to Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller, Lionel Hampton AND Louis Armstrong!! Still listen to all of these and more to this very day!!!

Hmmm!? Is that Gene Krupa on the drums!? 😮

I'm so honored to make your acquaintance. Your dad brought the vibraphone into a prominence which changed jazz dramatically, particularly in the early 50s. Quite a daunting legacy.

Picture's name... please

Maravilloso!!!!

What a performance!

Does anyone know the books name Lionel Hamiltons holding? I’d be interested in looking into it

Jazz music at its best. These two are fantastic playing together really.

The musicianship on display here is astounding.

Delightful Movie
loved it
Nice little memory here

Such a classic. Saw Benny Goodman in 1973 with Dad at the CNE Bandshell. Really, Dad? Never forgot. The key...just do it. Love this.

My Dad was a big fan of both these tremendous musicians. Although I was born long after their heyday in the mid 50s, he introduced me to them when I was a pre-teen, and still listen to their music today.

The story as was related to me was that Louis B. Mayer didn't want to pay Sylvia Fine & Danny Kaye $25,000 for Kaye's signature fast-talking songs. This created many opportunities in this movie for these jazz legends to take over the screen. I think it was and is terrific.

Benny tova mt mas o fa marimba tb

wonderful !!!

Funy black&white on color screen

I'll have to find this movie!

DAMN good jam sessioni!

Professor Brooks playing Benny Goodman as "Benny Goodman"...this scene always cracks me up...🤣🤣

John Williams brought in jazz artists to play his Benny Goodman style Cantina music for Star Wars. The homage is pretty clear.

True talent Hapmton , Goodman , Kaye . It's got the lot and its great fun too. I love Jazz.

👌🎼🎵🎶🎙🔊

Sorry if i haven’t read every comment but who is the pianist? I need to know:)

I look this at 1 time..😁😁...its very good for me...😁😁😁....but,...i am a jazzman...and this was for me like childrengardner at time.....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.....i can play drums,posaune and bass.....better,then this gyis....😂😂😂😁😁😁😁

I decided to go back to take a listen to those who have touched me with the musical talent that I somehow incorporated into my style. As a kid I was pretty decent piano player I mean gifted but as much better clarinet player because I couldn't read piano I didn't pick that up serious until high School as far as reading charge and getting back to the theory but I was a very accomplished very good clariness and Benny Goodman was absolutely insanity what a player that clarinet came back to help me when I went to the Marine corps with an m was a pianist when it came time to March if can't you play anything other than a bass drum or symbol I said I sure can had audition again do the whole form of process but I wanted to clarinet instead of a bass drum or symbols and that was himself a good thing I don't wish that I still played I know I can I just don't pick it back

I'm dancing by my own in my bedroom, jazz is on another level

Qué maravilla por Dios

Love it ... those were the days. I grew up on that band music and, as a side note, I can still sing "I'm Hans Christian Anderson!" and march around while doing-it just like Danny Kaye.

Watching Lionel on TV 📺 with my Grandparents inspired them to get us the Playschool Xylophone for Christmas to Torture Mom with our incessant playing🎶

Vraiment excellent.

Ich denke das man super Stolz sein kann....

🎼👏👍

The greatest music ever made was in unrecorded Jam Sessions!! To, to bad that's missing from music histories.

I could listen to this forever....pure gold

I was fortunate to see these guys live once in the sixties, and I haven’t gotten over it yet.

A magical era 💙
