I did a quick search and didn't find any previous threads on this one, so I thought I'd post on it.

This looks as though it was filmed in the 70s, and has been split into 11 clips on youtube, with each clip more or less featuring a member of Basies 1943 Band. Jo Jones, Earl Warren, Buck Clayton, Buddy Tate, and Dicky Wells are the main focus, but Andy Kirk, John Hammond and Gene Krupa also appear.

Some good golden era footage, but mostly follows "what they're up to now" of the players who are still gigging - and footage of them playing, individually or as a group - or have had to go on to other things.
