Youtube Jazz Tunes

#1 Post by Serg » Fri May 18, 2007 10:53 am

I don't know if there is a thread about this already but here we go. I spend a good amount of time looking for Jazz videos on Youtube. Lots of those clips come from concerts or TV appearances and are not available on CDs. So I propose we post some of our favorites Youtube links and try to find out if the music is available to purchase.

I would also like to get some information about the best way to rip the audio off Youtube. I use Windows Sound Records to rip a song but the quality was bad. What do you guys suggest that will give me near CD quality.

Here are some songs that I dig:

Pearl Bailey and Dinah Shore doing "Mack the Knife"

Jimmy Smith doing "Moanin'"

Harry James doing "Green Onions"

Good idea, but somehow I doubt if the sound quality will be acceptable.

Youtube's audio quality is crap. Looking and listening on Youtube is for one's own plesure. No mater what software you try to record the streamed traks you listen to, are is still going to sound crap.
If you get the chance to get your hands on the origionals in the form of DVDs or video you would be better off.
But, hay, Youtube is so good, in regard to being able to see some great recordings, even if the video and audio quality is not so good.

OMG, amazing performance of "One O'Clock Jump" by the Price Sammy Septet from 1959, featuring Elmer Crumley from the Lunceford band, and tons of great trumpets and trombones! I'm sitting now at work listening to it, this is so great, I feel like bouncing all over.
