Dear Bill,

Thanks for the nod on this although I've long had this clip on VHS, it's 
nice to have it downloaded and saved to my PC too, along with so many other 
great jazz & swing performances on YouTube. Another clip worth seeing - if 
not already discovered -  is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWW6QeeVzDc   An 
interesting soundtrack and a very confusing, but again interesting, 
production set with mirrors etc. I've had this clip on VHS too for many 
years but still haven't worked out all the perspectives of the set design. 
The full 9m 36s sequence is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sx3EmspoDpI

Another Buddy and Ziggy gem is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjdFkzRiyls 
along with two pianists !! The young trumpet player is I believe Graham 
Young. I've Googled until groggy without turning up any info about him or 
for that matter, the two pianists. They look familiar but names elude me.

With all this wonderful visual/audio OKOM on tap, my external hard drive was 
a good investment ;~))

Regards,
