Lol. I came here from the robin video.

Not sure where the tap dancing Native Americans sit in the spectrum of political correctness but Scott's band and arrangements were amazing here as always. JOHNNY WILLIAMS is the amazing drummer, never short on chops or swing, kicking it out here for all he's worth.

Raymond was a performer but did not include himself as a 'performer' in his ensemble thus the quintette!
-
a six person quintette... you don't see that everyday.
-
The dancers are Steve and Nick Condos as the Condos Brothers, 1938.

@yonskii Yes, the very idea of political correctness is the exclusion of any kind of symbolic violence from discourse.

groovin'

these guys (and of course Raymond Scott the composer/leader) are so phenomenal, this is as good as it gets, and it's sooooo goooooood!!!
-
The music is incredible and I just can't get over the skill of the tap dancers! Such technicality on so tiny a platform. Amazing!
-
@zackrasner9000 Yeah It is Johnny Williams. Looking at the two of them they both can pass for brothers.



Holy Christ, footage of the Raymond Scott Quintette! On television. In white suits. With tap dancing "Indians." What?

Raymond Scott was amazing. We have absolutely nobody today who can compare with him. You cannot possibly be depressed listening to him, Cab Calloway, or Spike Jones. All geniuses in my book!
