Vince Giordano and the Nighthawks: Dec. 13, 2008 V

Yes, there was a time when sound film was an extraordinary novelty, celebrated in IF I HAD A TALKING PICTURE OF YOU, echoing Bing with Paul Whiteman. I was entranced by the sounds but kept watching Heidi Rosenau and Joe McGlynn bounce gleefully over the floor. What style! Vince does his best Steve Brown, and "the boys" -- Randy Sandke, tp; Randy Reinhart, cnt; Jim Fryer, tb; Mark Lopeman, Dan Levinson, Dan Block, reeds; Alan Grubner, vln; Peter Yarin, p; Ken Salvo, bj, g; Vince, b, b-sax, tuba, voc; Arnie Kinsella, d -- follow their leader's buoyant direction. Live at Chartwell Booksellers' annual holiday do at the Park Avenue Atrium, New York City. Recorded by Michael Steinman. See and hear more at http://www.jazzlives.wordpress.com.

Vince is just the best. Heidi , as always dressed in vintage, with Joe are great dancers.

What does cnt mean, and the other abbreviations? I assume p is piano, and tb tuba.

Wonderful song perfectly captured by Vince and the boys. Too bad the vocal was not a little louder. Great fun!
