This is Chick Webb' orchestra lead by Ella Fitzgerald but this is not Chick on drums but Bill Beason !Chick Webb dead on june 16, 1939 ! This has been recorded after his death...but this is yet a good version of St Louis blues even if Bill Beason wasn't as great as Chick was..." Chick Webb had the most beautiful sound and the most incredible swing and beat you can imagine... In spite of his physical handicap, he was a giant among the drummers, nobody could beat him " told Elvin Jones and I think he was right...he inspired all the great drummers after him : Sidney Catlet, Jo Jones, Cosy Cole, Gene Krupa, Buddy Rich and many others...

A thrilling live performance from the Savoy Ballroom!Unfortunately the great Chick Webb had gone beyond when this was recorded. In the outro the announcer says "Ella Fitzgerald who presented her orchestra", not Chick Webb's.

That's not Chick Webb, it's Bill Beason on the drums.

I appreciate the photos of the dancers -- looks like they were doing the Lindy Hop. Those young folks had energy to let, No one will ever dance like that again, not at a club dance, anyway. People are too afraid of sweating these days.

Terrible that he died so young - he was only 30 - what a magnificent talent he was - he could swing like nobody's business - I can't help but wonder what He & Ella could have accomplished together had he lived. As it is, his legacy is enormous - what great music!!!

But what's with the sign advertising Terry Gibbs Quartet. he wasn't playing in the 30s.

merveilleux,what a swing !

JJ truth

It always swung it whenever Chick Webb and Ella got together

Heinz Muggler

Warum geht's heute nicht ebenso? Musik sollte sich bewegen und nicht schlafen! Der Takt und das Tempo entsprechen so nicht dem heutigen Rentnersound für Altersturnen.
