Amazing- is that an Orangutan or Bigfoot? If it's Bigfoot, this is so much better than that crappy 9mm home footage shot in the 60s. I didn't know he could blow sax.

Btw-I stumbled upon Oscar Peterson's work on YouTube

 

[Elvis]

Why that was none other than the infamous Sax Squatch!!!!

 

[Elvis]

While I appreciate the accolades I've received thus far, for the music I've been posting, it occurred to me earlier today, that I should probably try concentrating on music that was popular during the war.
....I mean, it IS a WWII forum after all.
So let's get this ball rolling with Jo Stafford, shall we.....

 

[Elvis]

From the 1941 movie Sun Valley Serenade.
Most people are familiar with a segment that came later in this movie, for the song "Chatanooga Choo Choo", but this beautiful piece has become an almost forgotten foot note.
Sharp eyes will catch Tex Beneke playing in the sax section (he was a sax player first!) and actor John Payne "playing" piano.
The beautiful Lynn Bari is our girl singer for this segment and if that guy in the striped suit looks somewhat familiar, that's Uncle Miltie himself, Milton Berle.
Enjoy!

 

[Elvis]

The following year, Miller and his orchestra starred in another blockbuster, Orchestra Wives.
The legendary Ray Eberle and Lynn Bari are the singers for this segment.
Sharp eyes will spy a young Jackie Gleason as the bass player (not really, just for the movie) and Cesar Romero as the band's pianist (not really, just for the movie).
If you're wondering about the young couple that makes their way to the front of the crowd at the beginning, that's Hollywood legend Ann Rutherford and a young Harry Morgan, who would later end up (first) as Joe Friday's partner Bill Gannon on the later version of the tv show Dragnet, and later, as Col. Sherman T. Potter on the tv version of M.A.S.H..
Enjoy! =)

Nice connections.

Actually, something to remember next time I play 6 degrees to Kevin Bacon.

 

[Elvis]

You're welcome.
I forgot to mention, that song from Orchestra Wives.....yes, that's the same one that everyone attributes to Etta James. =)
