He is a czech did also czech songs.

The cinematography of this video is absolutely brilliant. There's that pillar in the middle of the club that doesn't interfere with the shooting at all, they just pan across it. Marvelous new nostalgia!

Pro všechny nadsence do swingu, doporucuji shlednout predstaveni v Národním divadle V rytmu swingu busi srdce me. Rezie Ondrej Havelka. Hraji ZIVE Melody Makers.

This will never grow old. Absolute genius. And Ondrej and the Melody Makers they groove like nothing else.

Damn, no wonder there was Baby Boom during those days,this is HOT!

Ondrej never disappoints ! ❤️

It speaks volumes for how far we've come as a society when one considers the change in meaning the phrase "Beat me, Daddy" has undergone.

Me too ! This is one of my all time favorite videos here at YT ! Boogie at it's best !! :-)

A song written in 1940 by Don Ray. Then in the army in WWII with the Andrews Sisters Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy and next an excellent performance by Ondrej Havelka. Greetings from Poland.

Song and video are both outstanding. Really great concept, too. The period costumes, dancing, setting all look completely authentic. Je super!

Sakra, asi jsem právě objevil "nový" hudební žánr o který se budu zajímat a poslouchat ho. Dokonalost

Naprosto dokonalé,stylové,vtipné !Taneční kreace páně Havelky mě vždy úvadějí v nadšení.Avšak co přátelé s tím nakrémovaným pianistou? Toho nám nyní v JŮESEJ nevezmou.

Waaaay over the top awesome!

I have a notion to second that emotion !! :-)

skvělá verze, démonické prostřihy na kytaristu a bubeníka. Splendid version, diabolical performance of guitar player and drummer.

vraiment exceptionnel ce ondrej havelka, c'est vraiment un artiste de grand talent. Il aurait surement fait fortune s'il aurait pu traverser à l'ouest durant les années 70.que voulez-vous la vie est comme cela. Félécitation à ce grand artiste

Ondřej Havelka patří do jiné doby. Jeho zaujetí swingem, stepem a vůbec retro stylem, je nakažlivé. Když vidím jeho přednes s kapelou a step, tak bych najednou chtěla taky do jiný doby. Určitě éra, která plodila takový hudební skvosty byla lepší než ta současná. Určitě měla férový pravidla.Chtě nechtě si každý tu prošlou dobu pod písničkou představuje a fandí písničce i době dávno minulé.Ondřeji, jste můj člověk. Možná se někdy na Červeném otoku sejdeme.

Toto prostě vau už jsem se nadechla.BOŽÍ takže nemám co říct.

Super.

Fantastic lighting in this b&w clip. There is an ominous quality to the characters here - almost a touch of David Lynch.

I Never grow weary of this masterpiece!

Absolutely marvelous!

You were amazing yesterday night in Monlouis (Festival de jazz en Touraine) Thank You to all your band :)

To mi vždycky zvedne náladu! Mám je ráda. Díky, pánové, muzikanti skvělí.

Je to super, tady u nás ve městě má koncert každý rok olem Vánoc, asi na něj zase půjdu! Nejlepší.

Naprosto super, a Ondřej Havelka mně tu úplně dostává. Jak slečnu vyzve k tanci a pak ten tanec :-D to je aspoň borec, to už se dnes málo vidí :-)

My grade 5 English teacher used to say things like”Beat me daddy. 8 to the bar”. We never knew what it meant but we thought it was hilarious. One of the best Mr Ralph Fenn

Raz som ho videl naživo. Odvtedy sa ho neviem nebažiť. Nikdy som takúto hudbu nepočúval. Neviem si to vysvetliť, čo ma na tejto prastarej muzike stále udivuje. Dokonalosť, presnosť, roznorodosť, alebo všetko dohromady. Bohvé volaćo. A večné ako Beatlles.

Fantastic video. The piano is most excellent. The BEST!

Absolutní fantazie :-)

This video is priceless! The Zoltans are going to add this arrangement to our repertoire in 2010. Brilliant!

stomping :-) I love the continuous piano line

Parada a parada a jeste jednou parada.

TRUTNOV & MELODY MAKERS & HAVELKA --- naprosto nejlepší kombinace!! :)

So true, I hope I get to see them work in England somewhere or even better, work alongside them, as I am a '40's Style Swing singer & former dancer. Love the clothes they wear too & everything about them !

THE BOMB! Magnificent.

I cannot get enough of this. I like the videos they made in black and white rather than the coloured ones. They evoke the period better. Does this group still exist?

Fantastic. Freddie Slack and Will Bradley would be proud. That piano player is solid! (Yeah, the blackface is an odd choice, but I'm sure he meant it as a sincere tribute to something I don't understand out of context.) Thoroughly dig this band!

The balck face reminds the revues - cabarets in first Czechoslovakian republic (The band is Czech). Musicians sometimes painted their faces to appear exotic, there were no Afro-Americans here those times.... and I think they just wanted to do the show. And of course great band with excelent sound.

You should watch the black and white minstrels. They were on every week in Britain from the fifties to the seventies or eighties when Big Brother took over and banned people from enjoying themselves.

You do realise that Andrew Havelka is on every single political show on CZTV 2? And I'm like wait a minute, this guy's not a polititian, he's only a musician. So why does he get on every single political show?

People in the west have succumbed to stupid correctness. Be normal again. When a white man colored his face in black, it is an expression of homage to black artists. It means, "You're great and we want to be like you!"

If Eleanor Powell and Benny Goodman had a child and decided to raise him in what is now the Czech republic this would be the guy

a je jsem to videl :D muzu potvrdit :D

Famózní! Pan Ondřej Havelka by byl v době, jenž zde prezentuje touto hudbou (a bezpočtem svých dalších kousků), asi nejoblíbenější zpěvák i se skvělými pány z The Swings, dámami z Sester Havelkových a samozřejmě se svým úžasným orchestrem Melody Makers, či orchestrem OPSO (Originální pražský synkopický orchestr), se kterým dlouho spolupracoval také. Samozřejmě, že swing, boogie woogie a jazz jsou druhy hudeb původem z Ameriky, ale rádo by se řeklo "Poctivý Český výkon".

Hubba Hubba!
