Stompin' at the Savoy - Louis Armstrong in Stuttgart 1959 

@Jaxtyn Marlon I don't care, and please don't use my comments to post irrelevant comments like this.

MOWO Media Yup, I’m also here because of that wiki page haha

MOST EXQUISITE RENDITION EVER NUFF SAID . . .

There's actually a better quality video up on DRUMMERWORLD that was put up a couple years ago! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CiesDcZVP_k.html

Hi Joseph, for some reason your comment didn't post live, I thought it was well said: Joseph Badger: "All of us "old timers" Buddy, Gene, Barrett, Louis, and so many more, remember when Danny took over for Barrett in 1958. He was a really great guy and, obviously, a very talented drummer. I used to tell my students that for every famous drummer they may admire, remember that there are thousands of others who are just as good. You just haven't seen them yet. My advice to them was always this: "stop trying to decide who is the best drummer and just consider all the great drummers as different flavors"! :)

Thank you Joseph! Well said! I just wish there were more of Danny's solos around! :) If you ever get a chance, please drop by and have a look at some of my own solos...ru-vid.comvideos?view_as=subscriber

Anybody who ever had the tremendous privilege of playing, performing, or recording on any instrument or vocals with Louis is somebody worth knowing about and following. You had to be the absolute cream of the crop, top notch cat to be allowed to do so.

If you listen to Louis Armstrong records during the period Danny Barcelona was in Louis' band, you will hear Mr. Armstrong say his name a lot. 🙂

He was truly a great inspiration!

Precisely. But to my ear a much warmer, more in-depth sound than the synthetics used today. Big Sid was known to take a minimum half-an-hour tuning his drums before a show.

Yup.

Wow this guy can really swing the band. What a great solo and I have never heard of him.just goes to show you how many great drummers are out there.

All pre-arranged by Louis and Danny before a concert. He did the same with Big Sid Catlett. At the Colored Waifs Home for Boys, where Louis was sent twice in his youth (at ages 9 and then 12) he came very close to studying drums with the Home's band instead of a wind instrument. He also worked out intricate trumpet/drums and dancing exchanges with Butter Beans and Suzie, and he loved stage-dancing himself.

But, Akira is Japanese and was born in Japan. Danny Barcelona was Filipino-American and born in Hawaii.

Was that Danny Barcelona?

That's what Louis said.

@@ezicarus8216 - he was from hawaii

Santi Foster Loved it myself, although I did think he was going to put a hole in his drums there at one point. 😁
