I didn't know those cultural things about Dave. Thanks for posting. I met Dave in Chicago at the Stevens Hotel at a college dance years ago. He was such a fine guy.

Dave Tough was an interesting guy. Very well read, hung out with Hemmingway in Paris, and a sad alcoholic. Brilliant musical drummer by all accounts. I would love if someone did a film on him.

This was so great. I listened to "Limehouse Blues" by the TRIO forever when I was in high school and I cannot find it anywhere. Does anyone know where I can find it?barbary 10

Dave Tough is almost universally recognized as the finest Big Band drummer. Exhibitionists like Krupa and Rich did not drive a band like Tough did. Anyway "de gustibus non desputandum est."

Benny Goodman. The ultimate balance between musicianship and showmanship. Between art and entertainment. The Elvis of his day, and one of the most proficient clarinetists of all time.

great footage of pianist Teddy Wilson! thank you! I saw Wilson perform in 1980 in Denmark: a blessing from a true piano deity and patriarch of jazz piano!

Sleek Sheik. Benny, Teddy and Gene, what more do you need for great music. Okay, put Lionel in there too and Fletcher's arrangements if you wanna be blown out the back door. |
