ghost of miles Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 This past summer I picked up a cheap used copy of some of Brown's Coral work--THE LES BROWN SONGBOOK, on Varese Sarabande. Very good early 1950s Les--you can hear some of it, along with Les & Larry Elgart, on the Aug. 12 "Two Guys Named Les" Big Bands program that I did.

DukeCity Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 You can check out the Les Brown band in the big prom scene at the end of the original "Nutty Professor" where they're featured quite a bit (including Les' brother Stumpy (Shorty?). Somewhat off topic: the Basie band w/ Joe Williams appearing in Jerry Lewis' movie "Cinderfella". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free For All Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 BTW, in case you haven't seen it, in the movie "The Bellboy" Jerry Lewis does a whole pantomime to a recording of Basie's "Blues In Hoss Flat". Worth watching for that alone IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth watching for that alone IMHO. Continuing the hijack: Jerry also does a pantomime of Basie's "Cute" in "Cinderfella" (Welcome back, Paul. You've been quiet for a few days...)
