Details:
The pop and dance music of choice during the 1940s, Swing music has managed to maintain its popularity ever since and in recent years has enjoyed a substantial international revival, both in its original form and through modern day interpretations and recreations of the music on the wave of the ever-growing swing-dance craze.‘Half-Past Jump Time!’ is the first volume in ‘The Swingtime Collection’, a new DVD series dedicated to highlights from The Swing Era. Contrary to popular belief, the history of the popular music promo video did not begin with Queen’s ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ in 1975; as long ago as 1941 America’s Soundie film company began making promotional music featurettes for the newly-arrived video jukebox.Compiled from those ‘Soundies’ and other promotional short films from the Forties, along with the rival Snader Telescriptions from the early Fifties, ‘Half-Past Jump Time!’ is an exhilarating collection of jump and jive classics from those halcyon years.In addition to such well-known names as Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Louis Jordan and Cab Calloway, just as importantly this collection features a host of memorable performances from several of the music’s unsung heroes, some of whom were never recorded commercially for phonograph records.The Swingtime Collection will be featuring many rare and sought-after performances, not only from those lesser-known artists but will also boast alternative soundtrack versions of the big hits from the major artists, as well as numbers not available in any other form by performers big and small.Meticulously restored from the best available prints, these priceless and ground-breaking jazz, jive and jump performances, both vocal and instrumental, have never looked or sounded better.From the small group jazz sound of Count Basie and Red Allen to the big band sound of Duke Ellington and Lionel Hampton, from the boogie of Meade ‘Lux’ Lewis and Maurice Rocco, to the jive of Louis Jordan and Dorothy Dandridge and the seminal rhythm and blues of Dallas Bartley and June Richmond, these timeless performances give us a vivid glimpse of that joyful, elegant and innocent decade before rock ‘n’ roll came along when Swing really was the thing…It makes no difference if it’s sweet or hot – just give that rhythm everything you’ve got!
