Correct. it's a cut off of Jazz Goes to College (1954).

Nice soundtrack-sounds like Stan Getz and Duke Ellington....songs take th' A-Train-

Like she said at the end, that was GORGEOUS! Please tell me you'll requeue this if it doesn't make it. I've even bookmarked this one, because I'll promote it the next chance I get. I upvoted all your other dulcimer videos, and schmway's too, because this music is simply entrancing, but this one might be my favorite. The music in this video almost sounds like it could have come out of east Asia, like China or Japan. That's the beautiful thing about music: Who cares where it comes from, as long as it's good? I think it was Duke Ellington who said that with music there's only two kinds: Good music and bad music. I couldn't agree more.

Sound quality is not great, but Upvote for Ella. Ms. Fitzgerald is the greatest female vocalist in recorded history. Add Duke Ellington piano and performing a Gershwin song... man this is American music... everything after is just derivitive.

(My last Nicholas Bros was a repost. D'oh! This is my second favorite Nicholas Brothers clip after http://www.videosift.com/story.php?id=3588)

Shown here are Fayard and Harold Nicholas in Orchestra Wives (1942) backed by the Glenn Miller Orchestra to "(I've Got a Gal in) Kalamazoo".

Who are the Nicholas Brothers?

The Nicolas Brothers opened at the Cotton Club in 1932 and astonished their white audiences just as much as the residents of Harlem, slipping into their series of spins, twists, flips, and tap dancing to the jazz tempos of "Bugle Call Rag". It was as if Fayard and his still younger brother had gone dance-crazy and acrobatic. Sometimes, for encores Harold would sing another song, while Fayard, still dancing would mockingly conduct the orchestra in a comic pantomime that was beautifully exaggerated. They performed at the Cotton Club for two years, working with the orchestras of Lucky Millinder, Cab Calloway, Duke Ellington and Jimmy Lunceford. During this time they filmed their first movie short, "Pie Pie Blackbird" in 1932, with Hubie Blake and his orchestra. -- http://NicholasBrothers.com
