  • @tuxguys Well, someone answered one of my requests (Thanks!): The hot number whose title I couldn't think of is called "Ain't it a Shame about Mame," and it's out here now. One down, one to go...

  • This is good improv, not like the insturmentalists of the 50s and 60s (thelonius, etc) Even though it doesn't stick to melody, it still stays sensical and enjoyable-I don't know the terminology but I like it better

  • This was one of my favorite songs back in 1940.

  • Bing is singing - and playing - "live" in the studio, but the rest of the music played by the band is a pre-recorded track. Yes, Wingy Manone has a fake arm in this scene, and Bing's old Rhythm Boy partner Harry Barris is pretending to play the sax.

  • This is wonderful! Thank you for posting this.

  • Yes, must be Santo P.

    (same trombone brand/model)

  • Oh yeah! Great stuff. Young Wingy Manone on trumpet. Santo Pecora on trombone? Who else?

  • If this was live in the studio (and Crosby's drumming had to be), then this is one of the best live performances of anything, ever, captured on film. (Did anyone notice that Wingy Manone was playing cornet left-handed? Why do you think he was nicknamed "Wingy?") I ask a big favor to anyone who reads this: From the same movie, can you get two Mary Martin numbers, "I Don't Want to Cry Anymore," and another one where the same band backs her up in a hot number in a song publisher's office?

  • Chatming clip from a charming film which is much over looked. Both Bing and Mary martin are greta in it.

    Thanks for posting.

  • Bing Crosby started out as a drummer, as well as singer. It was said that he had great time, particularly for Jazz. Well, I guess this proves it.
