Louis Armstrong - Heebie Jeebies

very nice song

https://youtu.be/a5zM_bYrdQk

Garbage song

Joyful song. I can definitely have fun dancing on this at a party. There is no doubt this is an early 1900s song. I do like the instrumental ensemble. The synchronicity in time of play of each artist makes it logical. This sounds like simplifed executed Jazz song. It is amazing how the evolment of new instruments has changed how Jazz sounds today. Beautfiful song. Thank you for sharing it on Youtube.

ory s daughter kicked me off an ory page for no reason whatsoever,you can love dixiejazz AND other music,booohoo

the beginning of scat, right here!!

This must be in Bioshock 4 !!!!!

Wait, what happened to the saxophone player?? their saxophone is there but where they gone?

This is real music! Amazing that this will soon be 100 years old. 93 years on and I’m still loving it! Beautiful jazz piece here

What great good feeling! Not available today....

C'est Joe Sims l'inventeur du "Skat" !!!

Heebie is short for Hebrew. Heebie jeebies is an anti semetic slur used against Jewish people implying there is something to be caught from coming in contact with a Jew. This song is racist

Mr. Armstrong, you are an American treasure!

Honestly this is beautiful.

Because of the sensitivities of today, I can't say the name of the poem here (it has in it a word to which some people kneejerk-react negatively), but poem 43 in e.e. cummings' "no thanks" may have been inspired by this song.

This sounds good

1926... And it still rocks harder than anything.

if your lucky find a copy of REALLYTHE BLUES BY MEZZ MEZZROW it explains alot about the early years of jazz and armstrongs early life

Such a beautiful tone full with joy and a superb interpretation. Thanks Louie.

This isn't Aminé...

i'ts something better.

I'm here for a stupid music assignment. Next it wants me to fill in the next of the lyrics. I'll just look up a lyric video......

is anyone else here from the magic treehouse? or am i just a lone wolf? :(

Luciano Navarro sorry dude your by yourself.

Yes! Reading a good night for ghosts to a kids club and wanted to some of Louie's music for them!

S L A Y QUEEN

YASS QUEEN

Oh how I love thee

How lovely!

to hung mail look up bobby bolding and king oliver they started jazz and that might help you

LUHCHI - CARTAEH Jelly Roll Morton claimed HE started jazz (jass)

I'm writing a paper on how Louis Armstrong influence jazz and I need to find opposing sources, which in my opinion is hard as heck considering that almost everyone thinks hes the king of jazz.

Hung Mai dude sammme

He's still the king of jazz

True :,-)

Scatting de 1926

Scat... you say?

Louis didn't forget the words, he had been scatting for years. Since he was a young teenager in New Orleans.  He'd walk the streets of N.O. with his friends and like the Spasm banks of the time they would carry on with scat and acrobatics and all sorts of entertainment.  This was the first time scat was ever recorded.

thetopper1

Hence began scat singing; Pops forgot the words or lost them.

I did a report on the life of Louis Armstrong, Louis had known how to scat for years on end. In this recording, they were only allowed one take due to budget for black recording studios. Louis was reading the lyrics on a piece of paper, during the recording he dropped the paper and started to scat during the part of the song he didn't remember the words to.

90 years ago today 12 Nov 1925 my dad Kid Ory, Louis, Johnny St Cyr ,Lil Hardin, Johnny Dodds started the Hot Five Recordings . Miss y'all ♡

Also, excuse me if my english is not purely correct!

Bueno Sera Pierluigi,si si my email is [email protected]

I'm guessing you about 73?

Your father is one of my favorite musicians of all time. Kid Ory is my preferred New Orleans trombonist. He was a genius too often overlooked by the general public.

I read it! They're mentioned in Gran Turismo SPORT's lexicon, so now I know.

STEREO Right/Left = 0

Pianist in the picture AND the recording is LILIANA HARDIN ARMSTRONG, any doubt about.

Tito Martino She gorgeous

To Atom...I totally agree with you..thanks for your input.

ElComdreja777...have you ever heard of Chick Webb.. dumb nuts? He was just as famous as those you mention..and he had his own band..with singer Ella Fitzgerald.. And he was black..and he was a famous drummer.. Too. And he came along before those other guys. The problem with your revisionist history is that your comments is only true in your own mind..

heebies JEEBIES dance

Such a fantastic artist!!!

PS Only joking! I doubt whether he really dropped the sheet of lyrics.

He said that the music sheet did slip in a video interview

I couldn't make out all the words in the vocal.

@Pete Kernow Louis began to scat sing (improvised vocal jazz using nonsensical words) and was among the first to record it, on "Heebie Jeebies" in 1926. The recording was so popular that the group became the most famous jazz band in the United States, even though they had not performed live to any great extent. Young musicians across the country, black or white, were turned on by Armstrong’s new type of jazz.

@Pete Kernow , that's kind of the point of Scat ... which could have as easily been called Jibberish but that didn't sound as cool.

@James Clements Apologies James - I was kiidding. First heard Armstrong on disc and in the flesh in the mid 50s - some introduction to the wonderful world world of jazz! Still enchanted by its variety and beauty.

sweet sounds to my ears

I'm writing a paper on how Louis Armstrong changed the foundations of early jazz music so of course I'm listening to this..

Same, I'm doing a paper on the 1920's!

Lol was just thinking "writing a thesis about jazz has its upsides."

Where could we read the paper?

im writing one right now on the same thing hahahahaha

I'm writing on the jazz-elements in hiphop :)

Doing an essay on him right now!! 

The grandfather of rap...louis armstrong...with his scar singing..

what the heck? RAP? REALLY?

@Tutorial - For Games "scat singing is vocal improvisation with wordless vocables, nonsense syllables or without words at all" aka like what Ninki Maija and Iggy Azzela (or however you spell their names) try to do. There was an interesting Vine video recently showing Iggy pretty much speaking nonsense as she "rapped" so scat singing is the original inspiration behind rap and many rap artists still do scat singing to come up with rhythms for their raps.

Yeah...

vickie oglesby ironically enough most of rap today is not about lyrics as lots rappers improvise melodies with words that are sometimes not audible but go with the song

scar of rap

Absolutely great

Love this song so much!!!!!!

Louie starts scatting on this recording because the lyrics dropped off of the stand.and like any great performer he improvised. Scatting is a part of any folk music tradition,any folk music  tradition. In England it was called mouth music.

Is a myth

@ Daniel Alvarez Ozorio for sure :) one of those stupid legends on jazz (especially on early jazz)

It's not a myth Louis did mentioned it on some interviews, see "Louis Armstrong in his own words" by Thomas Brothers.

sorry, but it doesn't mind... jazzmen used to invent legends on theirselves, too. if you were a musician you knew that this sort of things is simply impossible :)

I just read this story in Mez Mezzrow's Really the Blues.

King of the bungaloos was the first scat recorded

It's more like ragtime in my opinion.

by commenting on something I said a year ago and have gotten over since - um no, not really, but thanks for digging it up again.

I have inadvertently dropped the word "use" after the second word.

Prächtig!

here is the answer for you sweetheart:Because people violent language, like for instance: "bloody argument" & "Just shut up". You may argue that this is "soft violence", nevertheless it dictates the direction and the trend. From that point things tend to escalate.I hope I contributed something to you.Peace.

You know a lot about Louis Armstrong? Could you tell me what the style of his song 'Heebie Jeebies' is? (Like is it blues, ragtime, or just regular Jazz? Or am I off completely?)

Prachtig!

This song is mainly famous for being the first noted "scat singing" demonstration

Thank you, my sister, for telling it...

Armonstrong was black

The fact that "netiquette" actually exists says it.

who is to say the internet is a place that could be polite, serious, or use grmmar correctly, and who is to say it isn't?

Bull crap, just because it's the internet doesn't mean you can't be polite, serious, and use grammar correctly.

"He had a hit with his playing and scat singing on "Heebie Jeebies" when, according to some legends, the sheet music fell on the floor and he simply started singing nonsense syllables. Armstrong stated in his memoirs that this actually occurred. He also sang out "I done forgot the words" in the middle of recording "I'm A Ding Dong Daddy From Dumas.""

because its the internet

"Mr." Not "Me."

Me. St. Cyr is killing it on banjo! He is a true master. There means none better, and this track showcases his talent well.

I heard it was he dropped the mouth piece out of his horn...hence the scat solo where his trumpet solo would've been...even a pause before his trumpet was back in the outro

The scat part is said to be because Louis dropped the sheet music and had to bend down to get it.

The Heebie Jeebies is about .......Heebie Jeebies

I love his music

3 rasist = 3 dislike

Check it Mags!

Vaya pedazo musico el señor Amstrong este tema es del 1925 y fuuuf vaya pasada

Reminds me of the Aristocats... ( =

Sure, it's for me.

but 80 years before

the birth of Scat.

loui is a scat cat!

1st record that Louie introduced to world as scatting.

i just had to write heebie jeebies in a captcha field :)))

He wasn't supposed to sing they where recording a record when a stack of papers fell over and to keep recording he SCAT the lyrics to fit the music

Ok ok maybe not ALL , but MOSTHappy?

You need to be careful when you make such broad generalisations about music and race, it gives the impression that you are either ignorant or have a chip on your shoulder. There is some truth in what you say BUT you cannot make such statements about ALL musicans because that is simply not true. There is a difference between ripping someone off and being influenced by them. Bill Evans was innovative and unique, Miles Davis certainly thought so!

So are you going to deny , that plenty of white rock musicians ripped off music from Black bluesman of the south without giving credit? What about the white musicians who took advantage of the racist atmosphere of the times and redid black doo wop/rock songs knowing that their version would sell more?Yes , the earliest rock musicians were black.Wasnt really till Elvis hit the scene , that white rock musicians emerged.And Bill Evans was not as innovative in Jazz piano as Earl Hines , Monk ,

You're an idiot. Musicians are influenced by other musicians regardless of race or background. There is nothing wrong with liking one artist's style and being influenced by it. There are plenty of holes in your argument, the earliest rock n' roll musicans weren't just black, there were plenty of white musicians around as well - in the end does it matter whether they were black or white anyway? Would you say that Bill Evans "ripped off" black jazz pianists that came before him? I think not.

If you find some holes in my argument , maybe i'll think differently

Umm, well. Not exactly. You need to read up on this a little more.

Why does everything on YouTube turn into a bloody argument? Just shut up and listen to the music. It has nothing to do with fighting!

@keeblerbass Thanks for posting this response.

Thanks for posting this question.

@ElComadreja777 Thats just an excuse. In reality , white americans totally ripped off black american music.Doo Wop started in black urban communities throughout the northeast ...guess who comes along afterwards? Same thing with rock music. Whites steal and repackage - thats it.

@ElComadreja777 The companies WERE in it for the money. Many of them didnt think that the whites of the time would by music from blacks. This is why publishing companies like tin pan alley and the brill building initially barred blacks or didnt include a picture of the black composer on the sheet music.

@ElComadreja777 The only bullshit thats being spout is coming from you LOL!

@ElComadreja777 Jimi hendrix is considered to be the best guitar player everWest Montgomery ,and a whole host of other blues musicians (many undiscovered) absolutely shit on these white guitarist.Hell the majority of white rock guitarist will tell list the BLACK guitarist who initially influenced them and their stylesDrummers? Try chick webb , Ed thigpen,William Randolph,etc

@ElComadreja777 "Crime rate": were already astronomically high in Europe...you people wernt civilized. Read what ceaser said about the germanic tribes

@ElComadreja777 Django was gypsy.Paganini? The only classical musicians i like are the french impressionist...

@ElComadreja777 No , whites have been slaughtering eachother for millenia.Do we really have to go through the long lists of wars and genocide throughout Europe's history? You people were hardly living in a utopian society.....in today's standards lol
