Hellzapoppin' to "Jumpin' at the Woodside"
The "Hellzapoppin' and Jumpin' at the Woodside" topic had already been raised here a couple of times (here and here), but anyway.
After having read Frankie's book I really wanted to see what the Hellzapoppin' routine was like with the Count Basie's "Jumpin' at the Woodside".
I couldn't find any suitable arrangement of that song except the "classic" 1938 version - so I had to speed it up to match the Hellzapoppin' tempo.
Well, here is the result:

I guess I've managed to sync it quite well - in some moments you can really see that they are dancing to that particular song.
Especially in the last solo part - with Frankie and Ann Johnson.

It really *is* the way it was supposed to be. Isn't it?
I guess Frankie was not making any decisions about the music - they just told him that it will be rewritten.CountBasi wrote: I am gonna let Frankie have the benefit of your wisdom this weekend in Seattle! :D

I guess all the smilies didn't convey my message was just light-hearted irony humour, and not sarcastic or disrespectful to you or anybody in any way.subst wrote:Why exactly are you being so sarcastic?CountBasi wrote:LOL!

I am not here to indulge in oneupmanship or insulting anybody and I'm sorry and upset you felt like I would do that to you.
