I wrote my Bachelor's thesis about Scott Bradley. Spent an entire year studying and analyzing every episode of Tom & Jerry to prove that he created an entire language with his compositions. The animation and the soundtrack are completely symbiotic as a result and even if you play the music on its own, you will still see and understand what's happening. Bradley was a musical genius in every sense of the word.

I had a videotape with the cartoon and watched it a thousand times when I was a child. I like it because it was fun. But when I watch it now with some musical education and taste, I'm amazed, because his work is perfect! I don't really like modern cartoons and don't watch it, but I think composers don't do such amazing work. Fantastic composer!

I was smiling throughout the whole performance. I remember coming home from school, switch on the tele and watch Tom and Jerry religiously. No dialogue, just sound fx and music narrating throughout the whole cartoon. So powerful. I loved it.

Classic Tom and Jerry cartoons were simply the best pieces of motion picture of any kind ever produced. I still love jazz and swing music because of them. I wish this piece also included the Manhattan Serenade from when Jerry goes to New York as well. Otherwise absolutely fantastic. I had a smile on my face the whole time.

@FirefighterSEIN

I agree with you on the Manhattan Serenade from Mouse in Manhattan. My favorite piece of cartoon music anywhere. It evokes the spirit of the City, if that doesn't sound too corny. What gets me about that cartoon is that 73 years later, all of the sights/places Jerry visits in 1945 are not only STILL THERE, but easily recognizable.

Most Tom & Jerry cartoons had no dialogue, so they could be shown anywhere without a language barrier.

The majority of the score is from "Cat Fishin'" (1947). This is a great rendition of the music -- you can "see" some of the parts played out in your head while listening!

this is absolutely incredible!!!!!!! I've always loved the music in tom and jerry and I knew it was difficult but this orchestra just shows how complicated it actually was. skill required is just phenomenal!!! Scott Bradley is indeed a genius of the highest order!!!!

Can't remember seeing an orchestra working so hard, and yet having so much fun.

I can't stop crying; it's so good! All the nostalgia of how I missed my childhood back then just hit me.

what a music! This is Tom and Jerry. I had no idea when I was child, just watched over and over again... but now, I realize the power of the instruments... :D

a very difficult piece. enjoyed a lot. i'm smiling alone, reaching my ears.

you know this is gold when the musicians are smiling while playing it.

It's rare that you see something that is as funny as it is impressive!

That was SO good, makes you appreciate how much work goes into a great score.

I've watched this maybe a dozen times in the years since it went up, and my reaction is always the same: Hot sobs of of joy and disbelief! Not tears of nostalgia, but tears for the sheer thrilling exuberance of the music itself. That the band was having a rollicking great time while they played is part of it. I love the string section sawing madly! The sound effects guys breaking crockery and chasing each other! And everybody else throwing their whole selves into it! I love the manic, eager, erotic delight on the face of this one girl violinist! There's NOTHING I don't like about this. The ultimate amazement is that Scott Bradley, in the '40s, turned out scores on this Genius level like CLOCKWORK, to MGM's hectic animation schedule. Only one fly in the ointment: I WISH IT WAS LOUDER!!! GOD DAMN! PLEASE MAKE IT AS LOUD AS FEASIBLY POSSIBLE!!! (short of distortion, of course.)

This make you appreciate how much work went on a cartoon that lasts around 10 minutes! Such a beautiful master piece composition for each episode, that’s why T&J have 7 Oscars. Wow!!

Fun fact regarding those Oscars: the Tom & Jerry cartoons won for the topical category of Best Short Subject: Live Action/Animated. The TV era would change the nature of film categories when theatrical shorts were being phased out by the end of the 1960's. Yet, thanks to that category, Joseph Hannah and William Barbera are officially the most awarded directors in film history! 7 competitive Oscars is more than Hitchcock, Ford, and DeMille COMBINED! 🇵🇷🇺🇸😊

I close my eyes while listening to this, and I see Tom chase Jerry in my head.

That's why I like Tom and Jerry so much 😍😍😍😍

Thanks to tom & jerry i started to love and enjoy in jazz early on and that love to jazz remain todat and i m thankful... Absolutely way of life is actual jazz genre

Actually amazing performances. Even more amazing, these folks had to have gotten all their laughs out during rehearsals to keep from breaking out in laughter during this concert. Nonetheless, despite the nature or source of these particular compositions, an outstanding (and hilarious!) overall performance. Gave me a new perspective on those Tom 'n Jerry tracks we used to take for granted as kids.

6:08 the tuba player : " they paid me for sitting here"

It is so amazing all the accents, all the people the entire performance sounding perfect all the different instruments and everyone being perfectly in time and no one messing up. An amazing orchestra

I cried and laughed at the same time! What wonderful memories and what wonderful piece!

This makes me want to rewatch all of the Tom & Jerry episodes

Being part of 90s era and i watched Tom and Jerry and Other Marvelous cartoons in my childhood man I really miss those days who else miss those Days

This is wonderful,and they all look having so much fun!

Tell me you can't picture what is happening with each of these pieces , the music from Tom and Jerry is so iconic and brilliant, this gives so many goosebumps. Good times.

Bringing back memories ! *A Masterpiece*

First im very happy to hear later i cried dont know why ?? I miss Tom and jerry

This music absolutely belongs in the concert hall. Always thought so. So did the great composer Gyorgy Ligeti who cited Tom and Jerry scores as an influence on his later music. Bravo John Wilson et al.

I am literaly crying.... This is so awesome.... Plz make a new tom and jerry with this guys on it

Magic! Awesome! Now we can see that Bradley's music (and Carl Stalling's music from Warner Bros.) can be symphonic.

I don't know wether to laugh, cry, or swoon from nostalgia. It's all wonderful on so many levels...

Hoooray, indeed, hoooray !!!! Who amongst the contemporary classical composers would dare to have such fun today without fear of being ridiculed and thought of as frivolous ? I see that several viewers/listeners write of their emotional response, which I think no only comes from nostalgia, but also a very real and deep joy over hearing such a unbridled,exuberant and effervescent performance. The musicians were clearly having a great time. There is no question in my mind that it is so much more difficult to elicit a genuinely happy reaction in an audience, than it is to make them somber. No question at all. And is the reason that joy is harder to achieve than despair, because it sits deeper ... ?

Scott Bradley, Genious!!!

This really made my day😀

Not sure how they would react specifically since their music wasn't used super frequently. Johann Strauss and Frederic Chopin, on the other hand...

Lou Raderman, concertmaster of the MGM concert orchestra, used to complain (partly tongue in cheek) that Bradley was trying to break his fingers as he wrote "...some of the most f***ing difficult fiddle music in Hollywood!" Since the original orchestral parts no longer exist, Wilson had to painstakingly reconstruct them by ear. What a fantastic job.

My childhood memories. that is a fabulous background music

Literally "behind the scenes" of this amazing tv show

...ESTAS son las cosas que te hacen llorar de la emocion... simplemente genial.

I cried......this is so beautiful. Like from 6:14 and after totally gave me goosebumps and brought tears to my eyes.

Still my favorite cartoon Tom and Jerry 🥰♥️

The vibrato in the lead trumpet on the final note just *nails* the 40s style... wide vibrato gives such life to jazz, wish it would come back.
