The Jazz thread.

Here's another tv cast, unfortunately from a worn VHS tape. But it's got two other legends, the good friends (and two of the "Brothers" from Woody Herman's old band), *****t Sims and Al Cohn:



And here's a much later great tv cast with Red Norvo and Tal Farlow. Farlow always used to say that he learned to play at an incredible speed because he to, in order to keep up with Norvo. This one's not that fast, but it is tasty:

There isn't a lot of Lester ***** on film or tv, but there are a few great noir jazz shorts that were made. He shows up in this one, doing a beautiful job:




And another great tv appearance, this time with Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker. No network executive would think to spend on-air time these days with artists of this stature:
