Harold_Z Posted March 18, 2005 Report Posted March 18, 2005 I saw this in Tower the other day and picked up. Only $12.99 and I bet it's cheaper online somewhere. It's GREAT. Louis TV shots from the 50s and 60s. NO BS voiceovers - NO BS commentary. Just Louis Playing and Singing. There's the famous Umbrella Man shot from the Timex show with Dizzy, there's a great Jeepers Creepers with Louis backed by Big T., Tony Parenti, Ruby Braff, Cozy Cole, etc. there's a South Rampart Street Parade where the Lawson Haggart Jazzband (billed as the Bobcats) includes Bud Freeman, Lou McGarity, and Cutty Cutshall.....and theres stuff with the All Stars when Trummy Young and Edmond Hall were on the scene...and more...Hoagy Carmichael, Anita O'day, Hamp, Krupa. WOW! This is the best Louis on DVD or VHS I've seen. Quote
jazzbo Posted March 18, 2005 Report Posted March 18, 2005 Holy Cow. . . . I know I'll get this eventually. Quote
gslade Posted March 18, 2005 Report Posted March 18, 2005 This sounds great, I will look forward to picking that one up as well as this one Quote
