I just got a new smart TV with an excellent YouTube interface, so now I'm more likely to sit back in an easy chair and watch youtube clips.

Great to be able to see the clips that Mark Cantor amassed!

Thanks for posting the link!

Liked the Kay Penton (of Tadd Dameron fame) soundie

Some nice stuff here. This clip of a tune called Harlequin Bounce features Benny Carter and Britt Woodman. Also in the band, among others, are Wardell Gray, Marshall Royal and Gerald Wiggins.

And the blurb on YT says that she used to sing with Guy Lombardo before going to Goodman & Dameron.

I thought the "played with both Lawrence Welk & Frank Zappa" club was exclusive, but THIS one, Guy Lombardo AND Tadd Dameron...maybe that's a party of one?

[Big Beat Steve]

Yes, excellent!

Thanks for that link!

I just went to one of his shows at the local Jewish Community Center last weekend. They're always good and this one was no exception. His spoken intros are nice, too.

Great to see this stuff on-line. I've been to Mark's film presentations many times and they're always wonderful!
