Fabulous performances by Jerry Wald and his band showing traces of Woody Herman, Artie Shaw, and Stan Kenton (but who influenced who?). Also there is the mysterious, under-appreciated (these days, that is) singer Anita Boyer who is both a fantastic singer with great phrasing and a great "scat" singer who sings unison with Jerry note--for-note. Wonderful performance!!! Her appearances are so rare these days that this one goes into my 'favorites' list.
Just can't beat these old clips !! Better times !!

love Anita Boyer, sad that she tends to be overlooked now. One of the really good band singers.

For those of you who may be interested, Anita Boyer sang with Leo Reisman, Tommy Dorsey, Artie Shaw and Jerry Wald, in that order.
