Several wonderful aspects about this: first, it’s outstanding music! I luv the way Mrs. Swing sings 'charm'… twice: @ 0:51 + 2:33). The trumpet intro and then Griffin’s later solo are oh so nice. The great Chu Berry does his smooth-flo solo so wonderfully. (Chu died from a late-OCT '41 car wreck - fog; 33 years old.)
Recorded in New York; thank you, papabodker, for the detailed info. :I:
Mildred Rinker se transformou artisticamente em Mildred Bailey foi muito importante no inicio de carreira do grande Bing Crosby. Ela emociana as platéias norte-americanas, foi imtada mas nunca igualada. Deixou saudades...mas hoje ocupa lugar no céu pois era uma estrela!
Really swinging. No wonder: Gordon "Chris" Griffith on trumpet, Chu Berry (tnx), the impecable Teddy Wilson (pn), Dick McDóughnut(guitar) Artie Bernstein(bass), Ed Dougherty (drs) and har husband Rex Norvo on xylophone. From September 20 1935. Under the title Mildred Bailey and har Swing Band. Just it!

She sings like a white Billie Holiday from the 1930s on these up tempo arrangements. And what a great band behind her.

So true, we never hear of Mildred which is a great shame. Thanks for posting.
