Скачать или смотреть "ONYX TRIO": TEDDY BUNN, LEO WATSON, BOBBY HENDERSON (Saturday Night Swing Club 5.15.37)

An astonishing rarity from the CBS radio broadcast, SATURDAY NIGHT SWING CLUB of May 15, 1937. The earnest-comic-attempting-to-be-hep announcer is Paul Douglas. The musicians are guitarist Teddy Bunn, scat-singing wizard Leo Watson, also playing drums, and pianist Bobby Henderson. This is the only recording of Henderson in his prime; he was at one time the young Billie Holiday's accompanist, and in 1932 he recorded some sides which were never released with Martha Raye and Lonnie Johnson -- but he would have to wait until the middle Fifties to make recordings, then nearly twenty years later for Hank O'Neal, when Henderson had become ill. Here he displays great swing mastery. Teddy and Leo are deliciously unique: note Leo's making "CBS" and "Columbia" part of his vocal. Offered by Michael Steinman for JAZZ LIVES (http://www.jazzlives.wordpress.com), with apologies for limited fidelity. But perhaps this is how it sounded on your AM radio in mid-July 1937?
