This is the first time Buddy performed West Side Story on TV, only 1 month after recording it for the classic album Swingin' New Big Band. Truly a historic broadcast. And I have a request... If anyone out there has this in better quality, please post it. This video is a screening copy, not a kinescope. The purpose of a screening copy is to show the content and condition of the master tape, which I know for a fact has perfect picture quality, no buzzing on the audio, and includes the song that closed the show, Sister Sadie.
