Louis Armstrong - Basin Street Blues - 1964 

A really interesting storyline, Evan. Wish I could hear more about it. Your dad was a wonderful clarinetist.

Thanks again for sharing, Evan. - Martin Schram

I'm sorry about your father and not seeing him, but man did he leave a lasting impression, on yourself and countless others. That man can slay on the clarinet! Gave me a whole new appreciation for the instrument in a jazz setting.

Are there two clarinetists here, Evan? It says above that it's Joe Darensbourg. Is that wrong?

@@lisellesloan3191 Well the person who posted the video does say "I think" Funny because I commented here 7 years ago and no one including me noticed or mentioned it. Here is a link to my Fathers section on my RU-vid page if your interested. Some videos when he was with Gene Krupa and a lot more Louis.

The Digital Dungeon Master It's great to be able to say that "We lived through the best!"

Ebony Nikita Working on it, Miss Ebony!!!

Yes

Same here. In the early 60's, I would fall asleep with the one earphone plugged into my ear which connected me to the AM stations all over the country. This was my one and only electronic device...a pocket size Zenith AM 6-transistor radio. I was in heaven.

=)

CZEGO SIĘ UCZYSZ ??...

Yes. Me too. I grew up on this music

That's because its a people of Louis Armstrong band

Gloria Millar what are you talking about 🤔 i listen to satchmo on my iphone all the time!

Hahah agreed although im one of them! I listen to Satchmo and Jazz and Swing and Big Band and Dixie all the time!

Noted haha but I'm listening to this on my phone! But very true!

Yo ! Music is still popular - it's just that so much of it sucks .

Honestly yeah, today we don’t have much popular music that’s actually original, or have people who struggled and risked it all to climb and wrote songs that spoke to the heart. Back when music labels and such would risk it on randoms like The Beatles or Queens, others who had a chance of not becoming famous but they did and we had amazing pleasure upon our ears from that risk being taken. Yet now they just realized they don’t have to risk it on people when they can just push some young or whatever is popular or appealing face and pour out the same garbage as any other artist, and now without the risk or giving a chance to some, we lose originality and the quality of music our fucking parents or grandparents listened to.

@@Fuzzy._.l I do agree...With a few exceptions, it seems that as long as LOOK good, who cares if nobody can understand what the hell you're singing about;;;it's LOOKS that count, TALENT not required. I'm 82 yo, and with my hearing aids I still cannot get all the words thy're screaming...I have asked my grand kids if they can understand the WORDS...in most cases they admitted they couldn't. I feel vindicated!!! LOL!!

You can still choose to live in the past, i know i do, thats where the tunes and the vibes are

@@blinddeadmcjones5255 You're right on the money there, buddy!! I'm 82...and STILL boppin'...

All of us would have had tickets!!!

Michael Guerrero... We are getting pumped up alone together jamming to this!

ur right :)

Sadly, he was bashed by the ones who should have been supporting him. He loved everybody. Period. I would love to have seen and heard him in person. He, Ella and others from that era are beyond words to describe their talent.

Yes

Yes
