Benny Goodman and Red Norvo (1960)
This great clip was uploaded in 2006 and has accumulated nearly 100,000 views. It features early jazz vibraphonist Red Norvo and Benny Goodman. Details about the video from uploader WhenSwingWasKing:
"The camera catches the jumping 10-piece group Goodman led from 1959-1961 (built around the Red Norvo Quintet), but in this clip, the spotlight stays firmly on Benny and Red. "The World is Waiting For the Sunrise" was an early Goodman showcase in 1934, and was memorably re-recorded by BG with Mel Powell in 1942 (for Commodore). Benny was still playing this number brilliantly in the 1980s!"

There’s something timeless about watching legendary musicians like Red Norvo and Benny Goodman perform together with such effortless chemistry and energy. Even decades later, clips like this still attract jazz lovers because the talent feels authentic and unforgettable. “The World is Waiting For the Sunrise” carries so much history, and hearing Benny continue to master it into the 1980s says everything about his artistry. It’s fascinating how classic performances continue gaining attention online, much like trending searches such as “Take my calculus exam for me” that unexpectedly become part of internet culture and discussion today.
