"Sho Siner's Drag," "Minleberg Joys." "BOOBIE WOOGIE STOMP" (!!), "Across the Tracke Blues," "Rose Rom," "His Eye Is on the Sparroz," "AHMEL ERTEGUM" (!!) I guess English is a second or third language to the folks who put this together. Again--nice editing--NOT!

Duke Ellington's "The Moche." Nice editing!

Was this a student project?

[jonnybogue]

also: "...white clarinet player Benny Goodman...although he didn't offer anything different from other similar groups such as the Dorsey Brothers...." "Barney Bigert" (!) Why dis' Benny Goodman's playing, you kidding me? Sheesh. I mean, we all have our preferences and favorites, but COME ON.

Very interesting. But I could do without some of the narrator's ill-conceived comments and mispronunciations, though, i.e. "Ella Fitzgerald, who would become one of jazz's biggest stars, in spite of her more or less commercial style," and "Jimmy Lun-sa-ford."
