A fantastic video clip of the great [shadow=red,left,300]Louis Armstrong[/shadow] "Basin Street Blues" -
This video clip is taken from a concert in Stuttgart in Germany in 1959, Louis' famous team consists of Trummy Young trombone, Peanuts Hucko clarinet, Billy Kyle piano, Danny Barcelona drums. On bass is Mort Herbert, a lawyer, who took a sabbatical when invited to go on tour with Louis. Just like Arvell Shaw he plays the unamplified bass and that great supporting sound come from a combination of hard work, gut-strings and a higher bridge bringing the strings further away from the fingerboard.
