Continuing the "harmonica obsession" thread, here are The Philharmonicas, playing an amazing cover of Raymond Scott's "Powerhouse" in The Dipsy Doodler (1940), a Vitaphone Melody Master musical short starring Larry Clinton (no relation to Bill) and His Orchestra.
What I want to know now is where to find a clip of Jean "Toots" Theilemanns performing Thelonious Monk's finger-and-brain busting "Skippy", a Mount Everest for musicians!
This is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteIndeed, it is! Here's Raymond Scott (alas, embedding has been disabled by request) and Ensemble peforming "Powerhouse" in 1955. Enjoy!
