Very, very, very imprressive. And Barrett Deems on drums is outrageously good!

That was the great 'Satchmo' . It sounded like a full orchestra. How was that possible?

Kinda cool seeing the kinescope not being able to keep up with the drumsticks. Only version of "Stompin' At The Savoy" I'd ever heard was Benny Goodman & Orchestra. Small ensemble covers it well.

At first I thought the drummer was Stan Levy..but it's someone else

Poor drummer... lost his snare at the end!
