I was reading an obit for Dan Morgenstern, a famous jazz historian, which led me to this clip where he talks about seeing Fats, the Mills Bros, and Django in Copenhagen in 1938. Dan's wikipedia entry states that before he passed away, he might have been the last man alive who saw Fats perform live. He speaks about how Django performed and seeing him move while playing (4:55). It's a neat first person account that only has 350ish views. Thought I'd give it some visibility here.

    Great jazz historian describing his meaningful memories of jazz exposure. A couple songs and a musician he mentioned I'll research since I like to sing. Thanks for posting this! Rocky
