I think the drummer is having a seizure!! but all kidding aside this is great

Waller - for me - was a principal reason I survived the 70's. His music, at its best, is simply sublime. It has a tendency to make me happier in almost all situations. This track - part of a "Soundie" - is not the best performance of "The Joint is Jumpin'" on record, but it is probably the most energetic one. The RCA studio (audio) record from 1937 is the monster hit. It's also on YouTube. The problem with Soundies is that the soundtrack is poorly adapted to the picture.

"The Joint Is Jumpin'" (minus the female vocal insertion) was a Fats Waller smash in November 1937 (Victor 25712). If you don't own a Fats Waller CD, go out and buy one! You''ll be so gald you did!
