| A television special in which legendary greats of the swing jazz era appear together in a gala concert, concluding with a salute to Louis Armstrong. There are so many stars on parade that most of them can offer only a snippet of their talent. Includes the numbers "Avalon," "Basin Street Blues," "Blueberry Hill," "Body and Soul," "Hello Dolly," "Lady Be Good," "Mack the Knife," "Moonglow," "One O'Clock Jump," "Sleepy Time Down South" and "Struttin' with Some Barbecue." Hosted by Doc Severinsen, with Count Basie and his Orchestra ("Jumpin' at the Woodside" with Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis and Al Grey soloing), Barrett Deems, Duke Ellington and his Orchestra ("C Jam Blues" and "It Don't Mean a Thing"), Ella Fitzgerald and her Trio, the Tommy Flanagan Trio, the original Benny Goodman Quartet ("Ding Dong Daddy from Dumas" with Lionel Hampton, Gene Krupa and Teddy Wilson, supplemented by George Duvivier, in their last television appearance together), Earl "Fatha" Hines and Arvell Shaw. Barney Bigard, Dave Brubeck Quartet ("Take Five"), Paul Desmond, Dizzy Gillespie, Tyree Glenn, Bobby Hackett, Max Kaminsky and Joe Williams ("All Right, O. K., You Win" with the Count Basie Orchestra) come and go so quickly that they hardly make an impression. Filmed October 22-23, 1972 at Lincoln Center's Philharmonic Hall in New York City. | |||
