Thanks for the heads-up. Need to record it. :)
hm. It doesn’t show up on our lineup. What is it called? and what time?
The show is “American Masters”. The Seattle PBS affiliate is rerunning it tonight, so I assumed the rest of PBS was doing that also. If I’m wrong, check your “On Demand” function. It’s a very good documentary.
Thanks. I will check it out.
Bing is on here at 5pm!
“Wow! I’d love to be able to dance like that!”
Yes, but the real question is, “Did it make you want to get up and dance?”
If not, summon the Rhythm Gods! LOL

After the Date Which Will Live in Infamy, the nation went to war. The men who had (barely) survived the Depression found themselves storming military recruiters’ offices to enlist, and those who didn’t found themselves receiving telegrams that began, “Greetings from the President.” As men went to war, so did women, some of whom enlisted, while the rest went to work in the war plants. It was time for Rosie the Riveter.
So what was the Greatest Generation listening to on the NBC Blue network and dancing to at the Avalon Ballroom? Tonight, Luvie Sue and I will bring back memories of the Swing Era in American popular music. The music may sound strange to ears accustomed to rock and roll, Hot Country and hip-hop, but this was an era of musical artistry in jazz and the popular idiom. The Greatest Generation may no longer be dancing to these numbers, but they haven’t forgotten them.
James Dorsey (1904-1957) was the older brother of Tommy. He played trumpet, appearing on stage with the King Trumpeters in 1913 during the ragtime era. He switched to alto saxophone in 1915 and then learned clarinet. This kid was a prodigy!
With his brother Tommy playing trombone, he formed Dorsey’s Novelty Six, one of the first jazz bands to broadcast. He spent much of the Twenties doing free lance radio and recording work with his brother. He joined Ted Lewis' band in 1930 and toured Europe with him.
After returning home he worked with Rudy Vallee and several other bandleaders in addition to the Dorsey Brothers Orchestra with Tommy. Tommy broke off from Jimmy to form his own band in 1935 after a musical dispute. The Dorsey Brothers Orchestra became the Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra.
In 1939 Jimmy hired Helen O'Connell as his female singer. She and Bob Eberly possessed a "boy and girl next door" charm, and their pairing produced several of the band's biggest hits. Many of the Eberly-O'Connell recordings were arranged in a three-part format, which was developed at the insistence of a record producer who wanted to feature both singers and the full band in a single three-minute 78 rpm record. Bob sang the first minute, usually as a slow romantic ballad; the next minute featured the full band backing Jimmy's saxophone, and the last minute was sung by Helen in a more up-tempo style.
Jimmy was three years into a successful recording career when this became a hit.
And we’re on! :)
