  • I *need* to see this film!

  • And there is a tiple in the lineup! If you like this slick string jive swing also check out 'Cats and the Fiddle'. More tiple and tenor guitar. Both groups can be found on dedicated cds.

  • how can anyone thumb this down? i cant comprehend

  • Teddy Bunn on guitar, five years before he was prominently featured on Joe Turner's first R&B hit, "My Gal's A Jockey." Music was changing fast in the '40s.

  • i dig that cool jive rhythm.

  • Hammer Lied...!

  • awesome

    

  • A great, forgotten talent - and by all accounts a totally chaotic and bizarre character. (read Leoanrd Feather's account of him.)

  • The first Scat singer AND Rap singer.

  • here's what I read (somewhere) : Ella Fitzgerald said she never thought about scat singing until she heard Leo Watson. No Leo- No Ella, think on that!
