Christiern Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 (edited) If you like to watch old and/or off the beaten track video/film clips, I highly reommend that you go to Archive.org I just came across a series of jazz shorts, sample pre-WWII performances by mostly British bands, filmed by British Pathé. There is a Benny Goodman and a wonderful Noble Sissle in there, too. The sound is good, but the picture is often broken. Perhaps someone here has the technical expertise to show the way to clean downloads of this wonderful material. You will find those clips here. Combine an elderly, sleepy black gentleman, Hoagy and Teagarden, and you get this from 1939. Edited January 7, 2009 by Christiern Quote
