    January 8th, 2009 at 13:32:54 Is this a cool tune or what?

    January 8th, 2009 at 13:55:53 Hmm, so is this the KC 7? Does the dude say 'word' in this? Man, the shit black folk have had to put up in this country. Back then, there were places they could not go. I'm a Repub who voted for McCain, yet find it refreshing that we elected a black dude to the WH. Although I disagree on policy. Sadly, as the party of Lincoln, we were on the wrong side of civil rights in '64. Tight shit!

    January 8th, 2009 at 16:13:47 Wardell is of course playing the "Prez" chair in the Basie band, a job that remains active up until now. Clark Terry is amazing.

    January 8th, 2009 at 16:59:45 I've had the pleasure and the honor of playing with both Clark and Buddy, and man, even at their ages, they still play so well. It's so awesome playing with living legends like them!

  20. Kelsi Says:
    January 8th, 2009 at 20:03:37 so sweet. thanks for clarifying the "swing on a star" quote. twisted popped up first of course. but alright, we learned something new today. peace.
  21. PISHACHI Says:
    January 8th, 2009 at 20:26:36 Just a few notes........but sooooooooooo much soul! Go Basie!
  22. Waldemar Says:
    January 8th, 2009 at 20:49:35 Thank you for correcting that. See how people get disconnected and are in touch with certain things later on... rather than the original. I was going to add that it IS from "Would you like to swing on a star".. that this quote comes from. The Annie Ross lyrics came later (54)..But unfortunately people are more intoch with either a Joni Mitchell or even Bette Midler version of "Twisted" than Wardell's 1949 original.

    January 8th, 2009 at 21:12:34 Holy shit that is so cool I saw Basie with his band in the late 60s in the UK that man invented cool. This should be compulsory in all music lessons just to show the rap generation what real music is like. Thanks JazzVideoguy

    January 8th, 2009 at 21:35:33 It is also Gus Johnson Jr. Drums He used to be with the Jay McShann band with the young Charlie Parker(Bird) in 1941. There is a movie about Wardell called "Forgotten tenor"in your more hip video stores.
