Description
Highlights include films of the legendary Sid Catlett with Louis Armstrong, Ray Bauduc with Jack Teagarden, Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich with their own orchestras, Gus Johnson with the rarely-heard Count Basie small group, Joe Harris with the pioneering Dizzy Gillespie Orchestra, Panama Francis with Cab Calloway, Lionel Hampton, never-before-seen solo footage of Philly Joe Jones, Stan Levey with a small group, the groundbreaking bop of Kenny Clarke and many others.
A certifiable find: The only existing film of that influential New Orleans pioneer, the one and only Warren "Baby" Dodds.
CLASSIC JAZZ DRUMMERS presents six decades of legendary drummers soloing and battling, but above all fulfilling their most important role: driving the band.
