Rhythm
The song Rhythm by Casey McGill....
Is that his own original tune? Or are there other versions of this song?

Strange. I thought that was one he didn't compose.
What's this one? Anyone got it? Rhythm, by (oddly enough) another band from the 30s called Spirits of Rhythm:

Rhythm by Spirits of Rhythm sounds nothing like Rhythm by Casey McGill.
Futhermore, I have Rhythm by Spirits of Rhythm but see no need to pick up Rhythm by Casey McGill. haha

No, he composed some new songs for the musical "Swing". But they also used some songs from his album "Jump". This is one of the songs from the album. The album was the reason (or at least one of the reasons) they wanted him and his group for the musical as far as I know.Bob the Builder wrote:I don't have the sound track, but I was under the impression Casey McGill composed it for the musical "Swing".

Jellyroll - (the band from SF?) Not that great of a band. They did play the songs that were not as popular to remake, but still not that great of a band, and belinda is not a great signer.
MBK- Blues all the way. But, they were a good blues band
Indigo- Classic neo chesse IMO. Especially the first CD. The later CD's took a different angle on neo, but still the 'classic' neo
Casey McGill - Rhythm is a good (for neo) song. Not a lot of Cheese factor, and not a lot of the rompin blaring horn sound of most neo big bands. However, the rest of the stuff borders on the spy vs. spy stuff and whatnot. (this is all from memory, my CD is at home, so I am not listening to it atm) They do have another song that is popular to play, and that fits the classic definition of neo cheese.

I thought "Jump" was great when it came out. My musical tastes have since moved on (or back).

I'm a bit dismayed because Jellyroll took Casey's place in the movie version of "Swing" due out this summer. I'm from Portland, so I have to like Casey (and probably would if I were from elsewhere, but I'm new, so we'll see where my tastes go...) but I was very unimpressed with the Demos from Jellyroll's websight. :/
I'm not an obsessive personality. I just happen to pick hobbies that seem to consume my life.

So, I remembered that I had ripped someones' Jellyroll CD about 4 years ago after they stopped through SLO and played a gig. Figured I'd listen to it again and see what I thought. Don't know if they've changed since the album I have here (Hep Cats Holiday).
Little too much electric guitar stuff which gives it an obvious sense of neo swing. Pretty much same style as Casey McGill though, so it's a toss up.
I'd say McGill has a bit more energy though. I'd pick something completely different if i were trying to represent true vintage swing.

Yeah, it does.
But strangely, it's getting a good rating on IMDB, which I usually trust. Maybe we should reserve judgement til we've seen it.
