Probably gospel from his church. I’m willing to bet he heard some Jimmie somewhere.

Satchmo in ‘28

Luis Buñuel almost made a film in America after he escaped Spain during Franco took over. He worked at MoMA for a while before starting make films in Mexico Sounds like I can read that.

Especially the Russian s***, comrades

Need you to check this out if only for the orchestral score like I said there's no dialogue just people living life

Indeed guys like that were up against so much opposition for their whole career it's fascinating to read about

Imagine having to deal with this guy

Zeppo

Harpo gets a clarinet and harp solo in this one also tooting his horn the whole time

The goat clown

A Chico piano solo too love his style so much

Also Harpo just did a straight up Chuck Berry duck walk

Love his music style, comedy style or just overall swagger?

They way he plays piano like he's shooting a pistola

The comments of this video has piano players acknowledging how unique and entertaining to behold on a visual level his playing was

@RVI these guys were god level comedians that also randomly had brilliant music segments
