“I was twenty when I joined Benny Goodman‘s band. Benny was forty-two at the time. But after we played about four bars, we were the same age, you know? That’s what jazz does to you. It has nothing to do with race, creed, or age; when two people play together, that’s all that counts.” - Terry Gibbs

Read the first of our two part interview with Terry Gibbs. This conversation was captured four days after Mr. Gibbs’ 100th birthday. In part one, we cover the Dream Band, learning from Fred Albright, working with Benny Goodman and Charlie Parker, providing music for Regis Philbin and Steve Allen, and more. Dream Band’s ‘Vol. 7: The Lost Tapes, 1959’ is out now on Whaling City Sound

Martin Scorsese – Casino (1995)

Dafür, den legendären Las-Vegas-Film von Martin Scorsese in das Programm zu nehmen, gebührt der ARD immer mein Dank. Denn er ist in jeder Hinsicht ein großes historisches Werk. Doch wen kümmert schon die Geschichte? Zumal wenn ein Ort so künstlich und so anti-historisch angelegt ist, wie die Stadt in der Wüste Nevadas. (ARD)

Frank Zappa teaches Steve Allen to play The Bicycle (1963)

Frank Zappa teaches Steve Allen to play The Bicycle (aired March 3, 1963) This televisual gem inspired me follow along which got me into endless trouble at family picnics and barbecues for playing my own symphonic masterpieces which, for some strange reason, nobody else seemed to enjoy. I extended Frank's genius to my exploration of the vacuum cleaner, ping pong balls and paddles, hammers on concrete and other objects, wrenches, wooden boards like 2x4's, and my personal favourite - the bars and other parts of cages pens and stalls in my father\s veterinary clinic as well as at the Calgary Zoo where he worked. I had a captive audience, but they all seemed to really enjoy my musical efforts at breaking up the monotony of their captivity and hospital recovery. The next time you're out in a forest I challenge you to explore the musical nature of nature for yourself. Trees make great drums and often ring with higher tones - not to mention the musical benefits of rocks and stones. I miss Frank. nb - I hold no specific rights to this footage and present it only for educational purposes.
