Fascinating film - good songs, nice singing by Priscilla Lane and some easy social dancing at a road house in Jersey.
Will big bands ever come back?

I wonder who the clarinetist and pianist were in that clip.
Nice find! :)

I'm guessing they were WBros studio musicians, but it might have been some local jazz men. I like the pianist's playing of BLUES IN THE NIGHT EARLIER IN THE FILM. He really captures the essence of the tune much more than most later renditions.

It's a cool little film! And Jimmie Lunceford and orch turn up also earlier in the picture.

You'll never be alone if you stay in the groove.
