What are you listening to?

Damn Rue, your no fun at all...btw that was a great clip of KK's band you posted! I wish they would release a box set of his films. The have a really nice cleaned up copy of "You'll Find Out" on the Karloff / Lugosi Classics set, well worth the price alone...

Me?? Not fun?? :eeek:
I love Kay Kyser.... HUGE fan of his music.

I'll have to check out the Karloff / Lugosi Classics set

Good one, rue! Ain't that great to know? At the end of the day, we can always agree on good ol' Al...

Hi Mario :wave:

Missed seeing you around....

oh and yes, we can always agree on Mr. Bowlly

Freaky Soviet brainwashing song.

It's Mr. Tro-lo-lo! Either that or the Russians cloned David Letterman.

His name is Eduard Khil. What's really funny is that he still wears those '70s style suits! Here's a couple of his more recent songs.

Chelovek Iz Doma Vyishel (Cheloveku Mnogo L' Nado)
(A Man Came Out Of The House (A Man Must Have A Lot, Eh?)

Ne Plach', Devchonka
(Don't Cry, Girl)

and here's one of his early songs which is quite moving.

Technically speaking Gene couldn't hold a stick to Buddy Rich, but when it came to style and groove nobody could swing a band like Krupa...

That's a great one - I just love to watch Gene play. I'm sure he was a great inspiration for Keith Moon...they both turned into complete lunatics when they were at it!

“Mayeya” features stellar work from two masters, Mongo Santamaria and Charlie Palmieri. What a great track. Every now and again I come back to it and think that I need to remember about that one.

Jack Hylton's Orchestra - You're The Cream In My Coffee (1928).

There are some great vintage advertisements and illustrations in this video.

Same song, same year, this time performed by the Colonial Club Orchestra. Again some great illustrations and advertisements.

Now that's new - and very strange: Whenever I try to edit any of my posts which include an embedded youtube video, the original [VIDEO] tag gets replaced with a different tag that displays the video in a much smaller version. I don't like this behaviour.

This is one of my All - Time - Favorites: King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band, 1923, featuring a v e r y young Louis Armstrong. This is what Jazz is meant to be:

Jack Hylton's Orchestra - You're The Cream In My Coffee (1928).

My favorite version:

Woody Herman and his Orchestra -- Exactly Like You (1937)
[video=youtube;o2rGPc-vtaE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2rGPc-vtaE[/video]

Jack Hylton's Orchestra - You're The Cream In My Coffee (1928).

IMO Jack Hylton's arrangement is the definitive version of You're The Cream In My Coffee.
