Nothing in our era compares to that.

Now that is drumming. 4 drummers- swinging and time is solid. Philly!

first time i seen Louie play w/ a single bass drum

Hot damn that was great!!!

Originally telecast on May 23, 1964.

Beautiful!!! Caterina Valente is GENIUS, also the best of jazz, 4 drummers!!

Heck with all the "more cowbell", gimme "More Philly Joe"!!

I Knew Mr. Bellson for a about Four-Years. He Was The First Spokesperson for My Triplet Drumm Gloves. What a Phenomenal Drummer and Incredible Human Being. As for The Other Drummers-All Icons and Drumming Treasures! Jimmy Lento

All of these people PLUS Victor Borge?! The peak of entertainment! This was amazing!

Beautiful indeed!!! Shelly shows just how creative he was!!!

Grace and elegance in sound and motion. Moze beauteous indeed !!!!!!

5 drummers - 4 stationary and 1 wandering and dancing: great showmanship. Caterina was a multi-talented multilingual phenomenon of her time indeed. Nice footage this is. THANKS.

Priceless!!KZread rules!!!

It's amazing what cool stuff got on American TV at one time in history.

These guy could play and dance the way it is supposed to be done. Awesome

Wow. Just wow.

This couldn't be done today.thanks for posting.

AWESOME 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

All the great drummers out of that era began playing for dancers...that's why they swung so hard and could swing in any tempo..

I Love this woman, beyond Love!!

Great video clip, thanks!

Celebrities with skills ... how quaint.

I've always loved Shelly's playing... Louie, Philly and Irv are amazing as well of course.

I never saw this footage before, wow!! to have 4 of the greatest drummers of all time, absolutely phenominal indeed. To top it off, having the honor to be introduced by Victor Borge, a true honor indeed.

Remarkable! Thanks so much for posting this exceedingly rare footage. Beautiful.

Louie´s fluent style is recognized immediately. He also ruled the drum-album "the drum session" with Shelly Manne, Willie Bobo and Paul Humphrey in 1976.

LOVE LOVE LOVE!

WOW! this is exquisite. Man... what world class performers.

Four of my favorite drummers of all time. Never thought I would see Philly Joe and Irv Cottler on the same stage in my life. Amazing! Thanks so much for posting!

this is perfect

Jaman dulu tv shownya sangat berkelas.

WOOWW

Simply THE best valente🌹🌹🌹

They knew how to entertain back then.

Awesome clip.

She brings so much joy to music! Thank you!

stupid little detail... Philly Joe was "Joe" and Papa Jo Jones from Basie's band was "Jo". Thanks for sharing this excellent video.

Wow, I say, wow.

Genius thats Valente Symply THE BEST

heaven

Classic!!!

Early vaudeville drummers learned loads from dancing girls in the clubs, Big Sid Catlett being among the best. Great clip!

cant remember ever seeing louie without a second bass drum...pretty cool...love this stufff....where is it now? another cool drum vid i found on here is gonks go beat....

Wonderful!

I wish i was born in those years!!! Today's TV is pure trash.

Absolument grandiose !

great drumemrs... and caterina valente can dance too, but look for: Caterina Valente, "Moto Perpetuo"

Cute & Sweet

Great

Shelly Mann is so unique compared to the other drummers.

THAT WAS A TIME WHEN YOU HAD TO HAVE TALENT ,AND ALSO CATERINA VALENTE KEPT HER CLOTHES ON AND DISPLAYED REAL TALENT UNLIKE TODAYS WOMEN.

I wish I had tap-a tap-a.

Incredibile!

Did Irv Cottler lecture on drum techniques around 1979 ish as I'm sure I went to see him give a talk in London around that time when I was 19. I could be wrong

It's all good but From 2:15 to 2:32 especially kicks ass

A real hoot, as they say.

Grandios

Talk about wasted talent!..... To bring four great drummers while playing recording of Neal Hefti band to showcase tap dancing singer. Brilliant idea, Hollywood! Hope they all got paid well.

💕💕🎶😀

People with skills and abilities! Why would we want to see that? We don't want to see musical expression, or ladies dancing! We want to see people being humiliated. And whatever you do, don't make us read. Or think.

Funny how Irv gets all the applause every time it's his turn... heh

Caterina Valente is the greatest one there. These people were very good.

what this song? i've heard it before on the drum battle with Buddy and Gene (With Sammy Davis)

killing. Always a shame that people's applause tends to cover up the coolest tap moments, but a great vid nonetheless.

Who's playing flute! Killing

Now I know why Irv Cottler hated solos

Can someone tell me , please, what's the name of this song?

Great waste of talent. Superlative dancer and like said, at least 3 of all time great drummers. Then over rolled by some guy with an applause sign that enables him to drown them all out, within a format that crowded them to a pulp. Even so, thanks for posting this great piece of history.
