Video of the Week #86

From a 1962 TV program Jazz Scene USA, here are West Coast drummer Shelly Manne and his Men doing "Speak Low." Featured are Richie Kamuca, tenor sax; Conte Candoli, trumpet, and Russ Freeman, piano. The bassist is not identified, but I think it's Monty Budwig.

I found two other clips from the same program, "Fantan" and "The King Swings."

Does anyone recognize the host? It's singer Oscar Brown, Jr.
