those crocodiles that shoot lasers out of their eyes
If you're at all into jazz, swing or other Divaville Lounge types o' musical goodness, then you should definitely be checking out TCM on Wednesdays in July. Their showing movies that feature bands like Tommy Dorsey or Benny Goodman. The movies themselves aren't all that but it's great to see early footage of the bands. Plus, they're wrapping up the overnight w/ short films (which must have been one-reelers that ran before features) with all sorts of bands. Some I've heard of: Jimmy Dorsey, Jimmie Lunceford, Woody Herman. Some are less familiar: Larry Clinton, Freddie Rich, Vincent Lopez -- altho he had Betty Hutton on vocals. Plus there was one short that had a jam session with musicians including Lester Young, Harry Edison, Joe Jones, and Illinois Jacquet.
Can't wait to see what they've got for next week.
