Video of the Week #63

Symphony in Swing is a 10-minute short from 1939 featuring Artie Shaw and his Orchestra. There are four songs:  "Alone Together;" "Jeepers Creepers," with vocal by Tony Pastor; "Deep Purple," with vocal by Helen Forrest; and the highlight, "Lady Be Good." I don't recognize many of Shaw's band members, but the saxophone solo on "Lady Be Good" is by Georgie Auld, and the drummer is Buddy Rich.
