Fidgety Feet Carling Blue Five 1984. <br />Father Hans Carling send me several of the earliest videos of the Carling Family. I had heard some of their early recordings on audio cassette when they played at the Breda Jazz Festival in 1985 but this clip is from a year earlier in the summer of 1984. Fortunately a TV broadcast with professional recording capacities. Totally amazing to see and hear these talented youngsters hit this music with so much maturity and thoughtfulness and an ability to improvise intelligently. <br />Father Hans on cornet, mother Aina on banjo with Max on clarinet (14), Gerd on piano ( 12) and little Gunhild on trombone (9). The baritonplayer is Anders Holmberg from Malmö. He played with Hans back in the sixties in Coolings Jazzmen. <br />Ulf at 5 had not joined the band. <br />Spiegle Wilcox told me about this group in 1987 and their family friend Stellan Obert sent me many videos. I have been musically in love with this family. Of course, this earliest of films will be a treasure in my collection and I'm grateful that I have the opportunity to share this via youtube.
