[mrpinkproduction92]

Boogie Woogie Bitch! GET SOME!!!

[medmond6]

One of the hotest bands ever to be under rated!!

Thought it was Ella Mae Morse. Did she have a sister?

[ugmodude]

man, I hate those snooty swells at Club 50

[lcar4000]

I think Carolyn took Anita's place. I think also had another female singer named Delores Hawkins in the band at one point. I'm trying to find the Gene Krupa Band's version of "Deed I do." I don't know which female singer his version featured.

[jaycurlee]

This is great.

[HuttonGlutton]

Mmm. Quite scrumptious.

[ElvanLady]

There are many types of Jazz music, all of them unique and wonderful in their own way. Brilliant, perhaps, even. My personal favorites are swing and big band. Its history is from Creoles in Louisiana, hitched a ride from the Caribbean Islands, and even go back to the african beats. Both whites and blacks are reponsible for the way Jazz developed, although this was where blacks stand out for their talent back then.

[RememberSoCal]

all that matters is that this music is uniquely American. blacks and whites both contributed their parts into swing and it wouldnt be the same without one or the other throwing in their two cents.

[eazyduzitjacob]

her voice pisses me of so much, but i cant stop listening to this

white women shouldnt scat sing

[freighter014]

Racist Ignorant Fuck. Do some research before you talk shit.

[eazyduzitjacob]

@freighter014 its true

like white people shouldnt rap or play the blues, it just doesnt sound right

theres no feeling, like how black people have

and plus im white

[Lulisu100]

@freighter014 you really shouldnt curseee sooooo much! geeeeezzz!

[classics4life]

Apparently you've never heard that great Anita O'Day sing before...

[snatchhog]

swing is classical music combined with African beat.Its not jazz ,its swing.

[Boldstrummer]

Swing IS jazz. It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing. So says Duke Ellington the greatest jazz composer off all. That is an affront to the whole history of jazz not to call this jazz. You need to check the roots of this music.

[Squweesh]

that was when music was good man

[scottduncan44]

To lowere the experience of this great musical to the level of an uneducated either or opinion on the development of jazz is an indication of a lack of both an ability to appreciate the music and knowledge of the history of Jazz. As has been pointed out the instruments used where white. Moreover the basic unique identifier of "swing" are swing eith notes which are a 3 over 4 pattern as found in bnluegrass.similiar to that found in Celtic folk music

[Boldstrummer]

Blue grass does NOT swing. Entirely different rhythm, more related to country. Swing eighths are out of the triplet feeling, not a part of Celtic at all.

[Proudnewfoundlander1]

back when popular music didnt, err umm, suck

[hottestmomay]

i remember reading in my history books that the blacks were treated as bad in the 40 as before the civil war, but now the blacks as there own things.

[Squweesh]

well ok.. i dont konw what that has to do with this?

[thrummer1953]

Interjecting racism into this, is completely missing the point. Just enjoy.

[StayUgly]

Hmm... And they complain about Elvis stealing his music from the black man. ;-)

[swingbram]

Elvis did steal music from the black man. it was however more related to delta blues and R&B (the real R&B from the 30's and 40's). Not swing, which was also introduced by jewish and white musicians among the african american musicians. The 'Black Man' as you call it was not the only inventor of swing music. Compare the different styles and separate them to make a more correct analysis. You have to be careful as to who you accuse of stealing what....

[manb4war]

Louis Armstrong invented swing single-handedly. While the credit is often given to white musicians fo the time, it was Louis Armstrong who "broke away" from the band during playing which evolved into his famous coronet solos. From that innovation Armstrong taught other mucisians how to swing. He also invented scat. Benny Goodman was labeled the King of Swing simply because he was one of the first white musicians to play Louis Armstrong's swing style.

[msammas]

Actually, it wasn't Louis Armstrong. It was actually Jelly Roll Morton who made the first swing record. Yes, white people did learn the basic form of jazz from black people, but they together developed it into what we know as swing music. You can't claim that "white people stole jazz from the blacks" because most of the "jazz gods" (including Louis Armstrong) are black, no one stole anything; it was simultaneous experimentation by blacks AND whites which made created modern swing music.

[Charliebear65]

...as to whom...

[daddyhaddy]

You are wrong! swing like much of american pop music is the music of afro americans. I know in this counrty we are taught that white people created everything, which is also wrong, but swing and boogie-woogie are the creations of the black community. (by the way, manb4war, Louis Armstrong did not invent swing.)

[StinkFingerr]

Most music is derivative.He didn't " steal " a thing.

[StinkFingerr]

StayUgly, So who invented the instruments the Black man played? Even the drums weren't just a bunch of Bongos! All music is a melding.

[Alexmyers]

charlie kennedy is my neighbor 

crazy shit

[caniportnoy]

temaso locooo!!!

[MagicRain505]

Those are lyrics (some modified) from Billie Holiday's ORIGINAL "Fine and Mellow."

This is ripping off at its best.

[asatro66]

Very good !!

[RockabillyWilly1]

Intro sounds like Lewis Boogie from 1955 with Jerry Lee Lewis - correcy me if Im wrong

[daddyhaddy]

you might be right, but Lewis got his boogie from someone else.

[LizzyDouglas]

Am I wrong ?? This reminds me of Billy Holiday's "Billies Blues".

[ToddCMorgan]

That's because the first verse is practically identical! It's also similar to Ruth Brown's "Mama, He Treats Your Daughter Mean"!

[SlippyTord12]

we did that fro band

[killerkasha]

im doing this song for our school band thing, our school sounds better O-o.. that girl ruined it bye singing.

[twoslices]

The sound of the drums beats anything today.

[ewaandewa]

[suczydlo]

[LoddiMeggi]

[ffurgy]

Those were my days, and by god we had wonderful music...

[ChristerDahlback]

Sorry. They were so awesome good!!

[ChristerDahlback]

How the fuck can they play so good in that ol times?

[rll1954]

Love that old tinny sound, can you imagine Judy on today's recording equipment?

[Arrow2Soul]

Big Band at it's best. Love the sound. I get the essence of soul music from this. Could this have been a blend of the times?

[rmayer821]

no...its 1946, but the trpt section was lead by Joe Triscari. Carolyn Grey was mimed by some other gal..Dick Taylor(great player) apes the originbl solo by Leon Cox.

[rsalvucc]

Holy God--Red Rodney in the trumpet section in 1947
