        Jo Jones, a magician on drums, in Caravan (+playlist)

        J





        Jo Jones is one of the greatest drummer in the history of Jazz. Most inventive, he frequently improvises the most unpredictable and bold breaks with an impressive rythmic energy. This example of his drum solo shows his amazing and unique variety.


        The extraordinary solo of Jo Jones, a magician on drums, ends in a blaze of spectacular glory the film "l'Aventure du Jazz." This film will be showed again in France in 2012 by its director Louis Panassié to commemorate the centenary of Hugues Panassié's birth in 1912 and also the foundation of the "Hot Club de France " 80 years ago with the collaboration of Charles Delaunay and Pierre Nourry.

        A showing is already expected in December 2012 in Paris by the current Hot Club president François Desbrosses. More showings are being organized in several french towns.

        Soon you will see "l'Aventure du Jazz" in Lattes (near Montpellier ) on Friday, March 9 in the Jacques Coeur theater.

        Bonjour: you will find more information about this film on my website
        http://sites.google.com/site/louispan... and also others subjects i have tackled in my long and adventurous life which started in 1956 with the first African tour on a Harley Davidson.

        As you may understand, I have lived and filmed rare and most unforgettable historical moments.

        Please contact me by mail cinevideolouis.panassie@gmail.com
        So long. Louis Panassié.

        « Jo Jones est un des plus grands batteurs dans l'histoire du jazz. Très inventif, il improvise fréquemment les breaks les plus imprévisibles, les plus audacieux d'un tonus rythmique impressionnant. Ses solos de batterie sont d'une richesse, d'une variété uniques ». Hugues Panassié.
        L'extraordinaire solo de ce magicien de la batterie qu'est Jo Jones termine en apothéose et de façon spectaculaire le montage de « L'Aventure du Jazz ». Ce film sera à nouveau projeté en France en 2012 par son réalisateur Louis Panassié. A l'occasion de la commémoration du centième anniversaire de la naissance d'Hugues Panassié en 1912 et également de la fondation, en collaboration avec Charles Delaunay et Pierre Nourry, du Hot-Club de France il y a 80 ans.
        Une projection est notamment prévue par son actuel Président, François Desbrosses, à Paris en décembre 2012.
        D'autres séances sont actuellement en cours d'organisation en diverses villes de France.
        On pourra voir « L'Aventure du Jazz » tout d'abord à Lattes (dans la banlieue de Montpellier) le vendredi 9 mars à 20h.30 au Théâtre « Jacques Cœur ».

        Bonjour, vous trouverez plus d'informations sur mes reportages sur mon site http://sites.google.com/site/louispan... et aussi sur d'autres thématiques que j'ai abordées durant ma longue vie d'aventurier-reporter qui commença en 1956 par le premier tour de L'Afrique en Harley-Davidson.
        Comme vous l'aurez compris, j'ai vécu et filmé des moments historiques, rares mais surtout inoubliables. N'hésiter pas à me contacter par mail à cinevideolouis.panassie@gmail.com.
        A très bientôt. Louis Panassié.

        Steve Allen show, Frank Zappa Playing music on a Bicycle 1963

        Steve Allen show, Frank Zappa Playing music on a Bicycle 1963 - YouTube:

        "Steve Allen show, Frank Zappa Playing music on a Bicycle 1963"




        Uploaded on Apr 27, 2008
        Frank is on the Steve Allen show, playing music using a bi-cycle.

        Frank was born in Baltimore, Maryland, on December 21, 1940, Frank Zappa was largely a self-taught musician, whose 30-year career embraced a wide variety of musical genres, encompassing rock, jazz, synth and symphonies. Avant-garde composers, as well as math and chemistry from his father's work, all fell into Zappa's mix of influences and comprised his unique approach to his art, coupled with a flouting of convention. Zappa also directed films, designed album covers and spoke about social issues. Although his unconventional aspect often overshadowed his brilliance, Zappa is highly respected as a musical pioneer. He died from prostate cancer on December 4, 1993, at age 52.

        It's amazing that this footage remains of his humble beginnings, RIP Frank.
