Comment:
These are all swinging jivey cool boppin hep tunes form the 1940's. Live for the moment & seize the day -- even if that moment & that day are way back in long gone days & these jive hipsters are now all jive ghosts. All the more reason, as Julia Lee sings, to snatch and grab it!
There's a little history lesson here, too: I was flabbergasted when I first heard this Wingy Manone song, "Stop the War" - I hadn't thought there was any antiwar sentiment in the USA in the forties - then looking a little closer it turns out that song was released in March 1941, when most Americans were still hoping to stay out of the war. That all changed 9 months later, but who knew that then? Hard to remember sometimes when you're time traveling that our past was their future, & not yet written. Anyway, "Stop the War" probably didn't get much airplay back in the 40's, but it's a lively hopeful great song for today.
As Irene Day sings it, how about that mess?
Feedback:
Ahhh, vintage JDV. Would love to hear this.
you never fail to both enlighten & compel, jeff
don't know a lot here but with cab and the louises i can get the feel of it and it feels great.
Swinging Cats and Bebop Ponys. Another Joey de Vivre classic , then!
"All That Meat & No Potatoes" - now you're talking some jive.
Seems like such a cool era. Nice stuff.
Where do you find all this amazing stuff, jdv? The Forties really rocked, with all the swing bands, wild dancing, and a sense of urgency. Without that, we wouldn't have gotten rock 'n' roll the way it is. Beat me, Daddy, eight to the bar!
This looks like a ton of super-cool fun. Really. I'd actually really like to hear this, so perhaps we can engineer an old-school sumptin' somethin'...
well there are some big names here that I recognise . . . . I bet it is a great listen . . . .
Always a pleasure to see your amazing mixes here. If art of the mix was around 67 years ago (along with the internet), I'm sure we'd be commenting on all your contemporary hip selections. Go daddy, go!
a great one as usual jeff. Way to add to the art-of the mix
Another classic! I'd really like to hear this as well...
Oh Joey, this one really swings! I'd LOVE to hear this!!!
Classic indeed!
WOW
Yikes! Love that 40's jazz. Seems so far ahead of it's time.
"if you don't like,don't knock it"Thats a great song,man!
A great-looking mix, and I wish I could hear it. That's the stuff you gotta hear!
Big Joe Turner and the two Louis, hell, the whole mix is a real kick in the head, great job, Jeff!!!!
