JSngry Posted January 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 Thanks. It sounded like a really nice band for the few moments they got to play regular swing. Also in this movie is a staging of Othello, staged in Harlem, that pretty much defies description. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted January 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 Not at all bad, although it's a different lens today about stuff like all (and I do mean ALL) of the pretty girls are light-skinned or lighter. Never mind holding a "beauty contest"/casting call based entirely on body measurements (so come in a swimsuit, girls, we have very specific requirements!) But that's a sociology discussion as much as an entertainment one. Simply as a piece of purely "of its time" entertainment, this is far better than most, and there's plenty of Jordan. That alone makes it a treat, as his music is expectedly fine, an his ating is surprisingly at least as good as Elvis'! Plus, there's a singer named Pat Rainey who sings REALLY well. Apparently she had a cursed life, but on the one song she sings here...yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 1939. I'll ask Mark Cantor. Here's his reply: I am not sure who the tenor sax is. Not Stafford Simon. Millinder's band was in a state of flux in 1940. He had taken over Bill Dogget's band, then incorporated some of Jimmy Mundy's men. When the dust settled the tenor soloist would be Stafford Simon, but this is not him. A mstery at present.

JSngry Posted January 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 Thanks for that. Interesting to see another tenor player going for the tilted horn look, couldn't have been that many people adopting it, could there have been?

JSngry Posted March 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 genuinely creepy...and an unaccredited score by Pete Rugolo, which is usually not a contributing factor except when "Artistry In bolero" is used - in two versions, and at full length - to accentuate the creepiness.
