This number is probably best remembered as
one of the standout performances from the
classic RCA Victor "Artie Shaw at the Blue
Room/Cafe Rouge" aircheck set, capturing the
1938-39 Shaw band at its apex. The short
"Second Chorus" performance featured here
gives us a sense of what the chart sounded
like when played by Artie's post-"Frenesi"
group. (The little dialogue coda is a
reminder that in the film, Fred Astaire and
Burgess Meredith were in "The Perennials" - a
college band whose students never graduated!) Tags :Artie_Shawswingjazzclarinetbig_band

Coney Island, "the place where merriment is
king!"
Take a trip back in time 50 years before the
Mermaid Parade.
See masses of old school New Yorkers beat the
heat by hitting the beach.
See Side Shows! Carnies! Freaks! Thrill
rides! Includes the original Coney Island Hot
Dog, the Bathing Girl Review, and people
getting sick on rides.
Not to mention the Tiger Rag, if 1940's Coney
Island existed today an insurance agent would
have a field day.
Still, 1940's Coney Island kicks the ass of
most modern amusement parks any day.
