Big Band
Re: Big Band
I've heard of the Shanghai Shuffle before, but I think this is the first time I've heard it. It sounds great! Thanks for sharing.

I came upon this today on YouTube. So much fun to watch!donnie wrote: ↑Thu Mar 23, 2017 10:04 pmStan Kenton had a great sound, indeed! I love that arrangement.
Here is the Glenn Miller Orchestra with the classic I've Got a Gal in Kalamazoo—and a special treat at the end.

Re: Big Band
Is that not something?? Thanks for bringing this up again—I didn't remember posting it.

Met someone from Kalamazoo today... And now the above song is in my head. Such a catchy tune!

Artie Shaw's band had the smoothest sound in the business, highlighted by Artie's liquid clarinet style. Here they are with Beguin the Beguine.

Re: Big Band
That was really nice to listen to! It's nice to hear the old big band that's not trying to show off. It just sounds good without being ridiculously big. And the warm sound of that clarinet is very soothing! Just beautiful!

The New Paul Whiteman Orchestra, featuring soloists on bass saxophone and violin (in tribute to the original 20's jazz greats, Adrian Rollini on bass sax and Joe Venuti on violin.) Great sound!
