Easter Parade: Fred Astaire drums and tap dances



Since it's easter right now, I find it appropriate to show a video clip from the movie Easter Parade from 1948 starring Fred Astaire, Judy Garland and Ann Miller.

Here is a clip with Fred Astaire drumming and tap dancing in a toy store in the number "Drum Crazy". There are a lot of rhythms both with the drums sticks and his feet.

What do you think of Fred Astaire tapping in the film Easter Parade? Tell me.

Christmas ends today but Yule B Swingin'


In Sweden Christmas is officially over today, 20 days after Christmas eve, and it's time to throw out your Christmas tree.

You are probably sick of Christmas songs and have an overdose of jingle bells. However, now could be an excellent time to get swinging Christmas music for next holiday season, the music stores could have it on sale.

One of my favorite Christmas jazz albums that you should look for is Yule B Swingin'. Great Christmas swing songs, especially "Everybody's Waitin' For The Man With The Bag" with Kay Starr.
