Movie: THIS JOINT IS JUMPIN' DVD

This documentary traces the history of Swing from its first emergence in the 1920s to its current revival across the United States, Canada, and Europe. This DVD takes you back to a time when New Yorkers struggled to get throught the Depression, but come nightfall, zoot suit-clad hepcats hit the dance floor with dolls in full-skirted dresses and seamed stockings. All troubles were forgotten to the sounds of Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Benny Goodman, and Glen Miller. Interspersed in the program are interviews with Artie Shaw, Lionel Hampton, Ray Anthony, and Sam Butera. Hear how original Swing bands influenced Royal Crown Review, Brian Setzer Orchestra, Indigo Swing, and more.
