Leo Watson & Four Sprits Of Rhythm--Tom Tom The Elevator Boy

[swanstep]

I *need* to see this film!

[MrDarwinsDog]

And there is a tiple in the lineup! If you like this slick string jive swing also check out 'Cats and the Fiddle'. More tiple and tenor guitar. Both groups can be found on dedicated cds.

Teddy Bunn on guitar, five years before he was prominently featured on Joe Turner's first R&B hit, "My Gal's A Jockey." Music was changing fast in the '40s.

A great, forgotten talent - and by all accounts a totally chaotic and bizarre character. (read Leoanrd Feather's account of him.)

[MattieSongbird]

The first Scat singer AND Rap singer.

[mehling]

here's what I read (somewhere) : Ella Fitzgerald said she never thought about scat singing until she heard Leo Watson. No Leo- No Ella, think on that!

[mehling]

[hookalakah]

Tim Hauser:  "That's the shit! THAT is the SHIT!"

[slimylemur]
