Check out this great short film, Swing Cats Jamboree, where Louie Prima and his band performs 3-4 songs. There are also some dance in the video clip, for example a tap version of shim sham.
Do you perhaps know who the dancers and/or muscians are? Tell me.
What do you think of the video clip with Louis Prima? Please comment.

Simplemente Maravilloso!
Thanks for the tip! Great swingin' action from Mr. Prima!
I think that's Mitzi Dahl and Ted Gary dancing. She's of course adorable and talented, but Ted is amazing! He dances with such complete abandon! I tried to find more about him, but cannot. Thanks for posting the video!
I'm pretty sure the tap dancer is none other than Christian "Buddy" Ebsen, aka Jed Clampett of the "Beverly Hillbillies. He was a dancer for a long time before he got more speaking roles.
amazing. i threw this up all over facebook.
