Gil joined the Claude Thornhill band in 1941, the same year this film was made. Always thought of Ennis as a cornball band because of his association with Hal Kemp, but this band swings pretty good! Non-PC intro to Birth of the Blues!
For something as light as a package containing 2 CDR's without jewel cases, first class is actually cheaper than media mail. I don't think discs were sent to us, Dan. Can anyone out there help Dan & me get into this fray?
I'm experiencing some frustration as well. The thing was supposed to be up for ten days, but it says it has expired. I'd really like to participate, but, at the risk of sounding like an old curmudgeon, I preferred things when the discs were mailed.
A matter of opinion. Producer Bill Miner told me that the CD was dubbed from the Alamac LP. And I agree with Chuck - the Alamac is fine, and IMO one of the great unsung Bird records.
