Ted Weems & His Orchestra in 1933, playing I'm a Lover of Paree, a rousing 6/8 one-step (remember those?). Elmo Tanner, Weems' singing-whistling-violin-playing-nonentity, contributes what must be the least convincing imitation of Chevalier since Chico Marx. Or since.

not on the radio, live concert

Hope its okay to post this here anyway...

We went to a live show last night and this afternoon (two venues), the California Pops Orchestra's "The Best of the Big Bands". The soloist for this show was a Jazz Harmonicist. Our entire family volunteers for this wonderful Orchestra.

Selections played- though not necessarily in this order:
Stompin' at the Savoy
Let's Dance
Duke Ellington medley
Hoagy Carmichael medley
Emily
Sing Sing Sing
Harlem Nocturne
You made me Love You
What's New?
Rock this Town
All of Me
Moonlight Serenade (DH and I foxtroted to this down and across the aisles at the show- here's what we wore:

Trumpet master

I am currently in love with Sergei Nakariakov, the virtuoso trumpeter from Russia. I've been listening to his music all day. I hope I can play like him (or Harry James) someday.

I just purchased a used copy of that album (okay, CD...), and although the lead's voice is a bit too high for me, the CD does have some swingin' tunes on it.

Although I like this album I hadn't listened to it in years preferring to go straight to the source, their inspiration I imagine, Louis Jordan. One or two of the fellas (not the singer) from Indigo Swing left and started their own band Swing Session which is a better band by far...Really solid.

Nashville Skyline - Bob Dylan. Everytime I listen to this album it brings back memories of a great time in my life when this was always on the record player. :)
