Phantom Dancer 20 May 2014. Video 1948 Streets of LA

Hi-de-ho Phantom Dancers,

Some housekeeping on this week's Phantom Dancer. A few songs missed out on earlier shows by Annette Hanshaw, Freddy Rich, Ted Fio Rito and Phillippe Brun will be played this week.

Some live TV with Roy Eldridge and live airchecks by the great swing trumpeters Bunny Berrigan and Louis Armstrong.

And as your Phantom Dancer Video of the Week, a real winner for those of you like me who are into streetscapes. Sometime in 1948, someone took a drive around Los Angeles and filmed the streetscape with 35mm film. The picture quality is brilliant. And some of the blocks of flats look like they could be in Sydney's eastern suburbs. The smog is appalling! Enjoy.

Phantom Dancer 15 Aug - Goodman, Aleman, Joy!

Gosh, Phantom Dancers, will there be enough radio show time to fit in Shorty Rogers Giants from a 1950s Tonight Show? I've held it over from two weeks ago.

Certainly we'll hear live swing and dance by Benny Goodman, Jimmy Joy and more. And commercial recordings by Australian singer/comedian Cyril Richards, who blazed a career in London theatre and Broadway; as well as Buenos Aires guitarist and friend of Django Reinhardt, Oscar Aleman.

John J Anthony will be back to dispense sound advice.

This week's Phantom Dancer Video of the Week is an extraordinary performance of 'I Cried For You'. It's sung by Helen Humes with Count Basie at the piano with his small orchestra including Wardell Gray. Brilliant.
