After watching Hamp and Benny Goodman, I can’t resist sharing that link I incredibly dig! It’s from the same period, an extract from Singing in the Rain… Surely most of you have seen it already. You may like to past the first minute, but the rest is incredible!

It has the same kind of thrill, blowing away talent, and swing (even if with big band this time). It’s not vibraphone, but so much good vibes!!! And man those giant dancers are unbelievable percussionists with their feet!! Aren't they?

Great drum battle with the King of the Vibes.

Great tom tom work here!
