Comment:
The title is from lyrics in the the song "The Dipsy Doodle" (track 3). Most of the music is from 1934-1945 and features Benny Goodman and Count Basie (with over 10% of the songs each).These are selections from compilation Jazz CDs I'd given to my father as gifts in the past. These are what I consider to be the cream of the crop. I'll probably make another CD mix at a later date of CDs I've given him that featured single artists (Charlie Christian, Woody Herman, Ella Fitzgerld). The picture is of Count Basie's Orchestra.<!-- -->
Feedback:
Oh my, excellent work. Can't wait to play this in the car tomorrow.
Looks awesome...it'll be a good listen on my morning commute!
goodness me--this looks fantastiC!
Nicely done.
Pure joy! I'd love to get a copy.
This reminds my that I haven't made a jazz mix in ages. Wonderful stuff.
Wow.... Very well done. I can't ever get enough of #14.
Yeah. this is the stuff. Had the privelege of seeing Basie, "Fatha" Hines and Ella live. Special Props for Charlie Barnet and Red Nicholls.
it's turning autumn in Seattle and this was perfect for today's cloudy, cool morning with coffee. thanks for the link! who's on vocals for Jimmy Dorsey's "All of Me?" Lena Horne? the voice is familiar and lovely, but I can't place it. anyway, it's a wonderful mix.
Thanks all for your positive comments... The vocal on track 25 should be Helen O'Connell who signed up with Dorsey's band just before that performance. That song is one of my favorites and I look forward to using it whenever I get around to revisiting the '30s (I still need to do a mix of early '30s tunes and that song had two number one hits in '32 by Louis Armstrong and Paul Whiteman).
