Anyone heard that glissando on 1:25-1:30 played by Pres, you are invited to hear what this genius wants to tell you - it is one of the most amazing thing, he was COOL but not in the way most of the tenors later played... he was something else!!!

What i wonder how it actually sounded in 1938 as them had not these outdoor amplifiers as today. But seems the people had their fun.

Yep, I like this music too man, or i woulden't be on this page.

I am pretty sure the recording it actually from the Carnival itself, 1938.

you do not need to be "old" to enjoy this music. It's the personal preference of the viewer or listener. I personally like listening to this music because it has soul, basically a fine definition of the human spirit even times of great economic failure. Even then ... the music swings! And contemporary music can't replace that feeling. Also, this music is real! No altering of the singers voice, actual instruments that aren't synths and original melodies. Good Day, sir.

If I had a time machine, I think I would go to that concert. Everyone - audience and band alike - are having such a good time.
