Jerry Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 You Brits are lucky, you share a DVD zone with Japan and can easily see Swing Girls, Japanese high school girls win a music competition with In the Mood, Sing Sing Sing, and more. I can see a couple of these on You Tube, but the compete film is not licensed for sale in the USA. We could use it. It can make an old man cry.

Adam Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 You can keep your Japanese swing girls, Jerry...I would sooner see (or even better, hear) Miller, Goodman, Krupa, Wilson, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Posted April 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Aw, jeez, cute little girls in cute little outfits, drumming like Krupa, blowing brass like Dorsey, reeds like Goodman, SING SING SING !!! OK, it's ersatz jazz recreated from 75 year old recordings, but it's still pretty hot !!! And most amusing of all, the audience trying to clap hands to the beat. Some of the 'extras' on that set just don't get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Lucky you! Not heard Helen Forrest for years. Must admit, I haven't got anything of her in my collection. Are you just a swing/big band man or do you go for more recent stuff - bop, West Coast, MJQ, Keith Jarret, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
