Milt Larkin y Jimmie Lunceford “lucharon” en batallas de banda al menos dos veces, en Houston en 1936 y en Chicago, cuatro años después. "Por muy buenos que fueran”, dijo Gerald Wilson sobre la banda de Milt Larkin, “no habrían podido vencer a la banda de Jimmie Lunceford en ese momento. ¡De ninguna manera! ¡De ninguna manera! Es una cuestión de opinión, pero simplemente no es posible. Éramos una banda inteligente y también teníamos grandes arreglos. Así que no había manera de que pudieran superar a la banda de Jimmie Lunceford”. Con José Manuel Corrales.

El crítico neoyorquino elogió a la banda por su combinación de vigor, alegría y destreza en el swing. "Nunca había presenciado una gran banda que tocara tan fuerte y con tanto desenfreno como la de Lunceford". Con José Manuel Corrales.

It's 106 miles to Chicago, they've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and they're wearing sunglasses....The brothers are Joliet Jake Blue (John Belushi) and Elmwood Blues (Dan Ackroyd)....and they're on a mission from God.  Well actually they're on a mission to save the Catholic home where they grew up and to get the band back together.  Seems simple enough but there are a LOT of obstacles in their way including US Marshalls, Chicago police, Illinois State Troopers, the Illinois Nazis, the Good Ol' Boys, and...the late, great Carrie Fisher playing "Mystery Woman" who comes HEAVILY armed! :o John Landis (Animal House, Coming to America, An American Werewolf in London) directed this wildly ambitious action comedy musical loosely adapted from the two titular fictional brothers who performed on Saturday Night Live around this time.  Plot is but an afterthought when you have wall-to-wall car chases and/or extended musical numbers from several R&B music luminaries including Ray Charles, Cab Calloway, James Brown, Aretha Franklin, John Lee Hooker, and Chaka Khan.  And that's not even accounting for an extended stacked cast including Kathleen Freeman, John Candy, Steven Williams, Henry Gibson, Charles Napier, and countless others!Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a texthttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

Una banda de tamaño mediano que destacó en Nueva York bajo el hechizo de Lunceford fueron los Savoy Sultans. Durante un par de años fueron la banda de moda del famoso salón de baile de Harlem. Los Sultans eran famosos por ser una seria amenaza para cualquier orquesta visitante que tuviera la mala suerte de verse enredada en una batalla de bandas. Todas las noches, los admiradores se paraban justo frente al escenario de los Sultans y se preguntaban: ¿de dónde sacan estos nueve hombres tanta música?. Con José Manuel Corrales.

For many decades, whenever anyone at a Flood gathering was celebrating a birthday, the guys turned to David Peyton to lead them in a rousing rendition of … no, oh, hell no, not THAT song… (Does this bunch really look like “Happy Birthday to You” people?) No, Br'er Peyton suggested a much more appropriate nativity-observing song for the Flood flock. Not only that, Dave enhanced the tune with his own special touch, the addition of a juicy reference to a sex scandal that was rocking West Virginia politics. More on that little tidbit in a moment.For now, you can hear Dave's birthday tune — a sassy 1930s hokum number — by scrolling back to the top of this article and click the Play button on the video that Flood Manager Pamela Bowen shot 14 years ago this week. The occasion for Pamela's footage was a housewarming at the clubhouse at the Wyngate retirement village where devoted Flood fans Norman and Shirley Davis had just moved. For the fun evening, about 30 of the Davises' new neighbors were in the audience. Among them were guitarist Jacob Scarr's grandparents who were also new residents. The senior Scarrs had been regulars at Flood gigs ever since their grandson's joined the band several years earlier.The SongA highlight of the evening was Peyton's performance of the birthday song; The Flood's version of “You Can't Get That Stuff No More” with Charlie Bowen and Michelle Hoge's harmonies and solos by Dave, Jacob, Joe Dobbs and Doug Chaffin.Back in 2003, when a take on the tune was included on the I'd Rather Be Flooded album, the band described it as a 1932 Tampa Red/Georgia Tom song. That was correct as far as it went, but a little deeper research would have taught the guys that the song actually was written and recorded a year or two earlier by a remarkable young singer/actor/comedian named Sam Theard.Performing well into the 1970s under assorted stage names — including Lovin' Sam and Spo-Dee-O-Dee — Theard was born in New Orleans in 1904. Before he was 20, he was performing with a circus, then working in theaters and nightclubs.Meeting up with Flood heroes Tampa Red and Cow Cow Davenport, Theard recorded one of his best known songs — "(I'll Be Glad When You're Dead) You Rascal You” — for Brunswick in 1929. Over the years that song was covered by everyone from Louis Armstrong, Cab Calloway and The Mills Brothers to Fats Domino, Dr. John and Taj Mahal.In the 1930s and '40s, using the name Spo-Dee-O-Dee, Theard was a regular as a comedian at New York's Apollo Theater.It was during this period that he co-wrote his next famous song, “Let the Good Times Roll,” with Louis Jordan, who recorded it with his Tympany Five in 1946. In 1961 at the 3rd Annual Grammy Awards ceremony, Ray Charles won a Grammy for his version of that tune.In the 1950s, Theard wrote for a number of jazz greats, including Hot Lips Page, Count Basie, Eddie “Cleanhead” Vinson and Roy Eldridge.Then in the last decade of his life, Theard was discovered by television, appearing in episodes of a variety of shows, including “Sanford and Son” and “Little House of Prairie.”The Ickie Frye InfusionBut you're still thinking about that political sex scandal, aren't you? The one that Peyton worked into The Flood's version of “You Can't Get That Stuff No More”? Okay, here's that story:The original song, as recorded in 1932 by Tampa Red and Georgia Tom, included this verse: There goes Joe with a great big knife Somebody been messin' round with his wife.However, when The Flood recorded it in a marathon studio session in Charleston in November 2003, Dave sang the verse as: There's Ickie Frye with a great long knife. Somebody been a-messin' round with his wife…Uh, Ickie who? Sure, that's not a well-known name today, but if you were a news-reading West Virginian in 2003, you certainly would have known about Phillip “Ickie” Frye, a bass-playing TV/computer repairman who had just blown up Gov. Bob Wise's political career. Newspapers across the state trumpeted the news of how Frye revealed that his wife — state employee Angela Mascia, in charge of European projects for the state development office — was having an extramarital affair with the governor.Red-faced, Wise admitted his infidelity. “I apologize deeply,” Wise said, “to the people of our state for my actions. In my private life, I have let many people down." The following year, Frye even filed to run for governor to "dog Wise," he said, over the affair, but he dropped out when Wise himself announced he would not seek re-election. Soon after The Flood's album was released, Ickie Frye emailed Peyton to thank him for the shout-out on the tune. The ex-governor had no comment. This is a public episode.

Episode Synopsis:My first exposure to tongue-speaking did not go well.  In an “afterglow” service which followed a mid-week Bible study at an Orange County megachurch, a large number of the faithful remained after the study to “experience” the gifts of the Spirit, including the “gift of tongues.”  A young pastor took over from the Bible teacher and explained how to begin speaking in tongues.  He read several passages from Acts 2 and from 1 Corinthians 12-14 and told us that these verses were proof that the gift is “biblical,” “for today,” and enabled you to by-pass the clutter of the mind to commune with God “in the Spirit.”  He then told us, if you'd like to speak in tongues here's what you do.  You start by saying “kitty, kitty, kitty,” until the Spirit took over and gave you your prayer language.  The room was suddenly filled with people speaking gibberish, swaying, acting as though under the influence, crying, and making contorted faces as they spoke.  I wasn't having it, and quietly slipped out. Years later, after my biblical knowledge increased, I realized that the “afterglow” I witnessed that night was very much like what Paul was instructing the Corinthians not to do in the last half of 1 Corinthians 14.  There was no interpretation of any of these tongues, though several attendees did offer exhortations of their own utterances, but which very much sounded like Christianese made up on the fly.  Everyone spoke at once, and the whole room was filled with tongue-speakers, not merely two or three in order.  I was a Christian and still thought these people were crazy.  I can only imagine what an unbeliever would think.Once TBN graced the airwaves (emanating from Orange County) tongue-speaking was now televised.  This time, tongue-speaking was not done in a worship service but was part of the regular programming and often conflated with predictive prophesy– “the Lord will do this or that, and heal this one or that one.”  The interpretation was almost always supplied by the tongue-speaker.  The low point came during a televised “anointing service” held at Oral Roberts University in which three older Word-Faith evangelists (Oral Roberts, Kenneth Hagin Sr. and T. L. Osbourn) anointed three younger Word-Faith evangelists (Kenneth Hagin Jr, Kenneth Copeland, and Richard Roberts).  Once anointed, the men acted as though in a drunken stupor, spoke in tongues (one of which sounded like the Cab Calloway's riff from the Blues Brothers–scubity-do, scubity-do--scubity-do).  Not a known language.  A VHS recording of this made the rounds and to no one's surprise, the universal assessment was “these people are crazy.”This is why a study of Paul's instructions to the churches on 1 Corinthians 14:20-40 about the proper use of prophesy and tongue-speaking is about as practical a matter as one can find.  Paul would have none of this.  Neither should we.For show notes and other recommended materials located at the Riddleblog as mentioned during the Blessed Hope Podcast, click here: https://www.kimriddlebarger.com/

Today on another encore edition of the Rarified Heir Podcast, we are speaking with Josh Langsam, grandson of the great Cab Calloway. Our conversation with Josh was full of amazing family connections as well as a terrific lists of firsts from Cab Calloway that was fascinating to learn about. From fashion to language to composing and performing, Cab Calloway was both an entertainer as well as a cultural icon. While many of us knew him first from his appearance as Curtis in The Blues Brothers film, as the basis for both Jake and Elwood. While that film helped bring Cab back into popular culture, Cab's influence on popular culture in the first half of the 20th century. A song writer and performer whose song “Minnie The Moocher” sold one million copies – the first black entertainer to do so. He was also the first black entertainer to have a radio show and even was made into a cartoon in a Betty Boop short. And if that's not enough, none other than George Gershwin based the character Sportin' Life in the smash hit Porgy and Bess on Cab as well. We spoke to Josh about his grandfather's legacy and how he is working to enhance his legacy in 2025 and beyond. We spoke about Josh's plans for the estate and frankly, the what's and how's of running such an estate. We learned a lot from Josh on this episode as there was a lot to learn. So sit back and take a listen to the Rarified Heir Podcast. Everyone has a story.

Songs include; It Don't Mean a Thing by Ivie Anderson, Do Nothing Till You Hear From me by Al Hibbler, Blue Skies by Jimmy Rushing, Blues In the Night by Cab Calloway, It Ain't Necessarily So by Maxine Sullivan and Night In Tunisia by Sarah Vaughn.

A principios de 1940, un joven llamado Malcolm Little se instala en Boston procedente de las llanuras del Medio Oeste estadounidense. Aquel joven se convertiría con el paso del tiempo en uno de los grandes líderes por los derechos civiles de los afrodescendientes en su país, en Malcolm X.Pero antes se ganó la vida como limpiabotas en los salones de baile de la capital del Estado de Massachusetts. En ellos, el joven conoció a alguno de los grandes músicos de jazz del momento, de Dizzie Gillespie o Count Basie a Lionel Hampton, creando un vínculo que estrechó más tarde en los grandes clubs de Nueva York como el Apollo o el Cotton Club, donde se ha convertido ya en su camello de marihuana de confianza.El podcast Malcolm Jazz es el contenido musical extra que Documentos RNE suma al documental sonoro sobre el líder negro con motivo del centenario de su nacimiento emitido el pasado viernes 17 de enero: Malcolm X, maldito negro. Ahora, en este contenido exclusivo para RNE Audio, el guionista de dicho programa, Alfredo Laín, recibe al director del programa Sólo Jazz de Radio Clásica, Luis Martín, para mantener una conversación donde se habla de swing, segregación racial, drogas y creatividad, y se escucha a Billie Holliday, Glenn Miller o Cab Calloway, entre muchos otros. El objetivo: profundizar en la relación entre Malcolm X, el jazz y sus figuras más destacadas en las décadas de los años 40 y 50, pues como el propio Malcolm dejó escrito: "La música, hermano, es nuestra. Somos nosotros. Y como nosotros, siempre está aquí, rodeándonos, como las infinitas partículas que componen la vida. No se pueden ver, sólo se pueden sentir. La música, como el alma que nunca muere, impregna eternamente la atmósfera con su presencia".Documentos RNE se emite los viernes, de 23 a 24 horas, por Radio Nacional.Escuchar audio

Welcome to season five. We start out 2025 with a trumpet player you've heard twice before. This is the last of his records in my dad's collection. When I first came across him, 165 episodes ago, I realized quickly that I had been missing out on listening to another great trumpet player in my youth. His previous episodes are on my play-often list. The arrangements on this record call for his playing to be smooth and lyrical, but we know he had a famous solo that was brash and beautiful. So, get ready to hear from a musician who was the jokester of the Cab Calloway orchestra for over a decade in Volume 210: Jonah Style.

On Dec. 25, 1907, legendary jazz musician and bandleader Cabell “Cab” Calloway was born in Rochester, New York. Raised in Baltimore, Calloway left law school in the 1920s to sing with the Alabamians, launching a career that led him to Chicago's thriving jazz scene and eventually to Harlem's famed Cotton Club. During the 1930s big band era, Calloway's charismatic stage presence and distinctive scat singing style electrified audiences. He recorded iconic hits such as “Minnie the Moocher,” “Kickin' the Gong Around,” “Moon Glow,” and “The Jumpin' Jive.” Calloway continued to perform well into the late twentieth century, captivating new audiences and inspiring generations before his passing on November 18, 1994, at the age of 88.

Day 12 of bootcamp brought us the brilliance of Cab Calloway—a man who left a legacy through his art, but always performed with joy in the present moment. Today's question: Perform or be present? In the age of social media, it's easy to get caught up in performative actions, curating a life for others instead of living it for ourselves. But what matters more: leaving a legacy or being fully present in the now? Can we create authentically, without worrying about the impact it will have years from now? It's a powerful reminder to check in with our intentions. Are we showing up for ourselves, or just for the applause? Cab Calloway reminds us that joy, authenticity, and living in the moment can be their own form of legacy.

Ella Jenkins, the celebrated musician who brought children's songs like “I've Been Working on the Railroad” to life, passed away at 100 on Nov. 9. Her death was confirmed by Smithsonian Folkways Recordings, where she was a pioneering artist. Born in St. Louis in 1924 and raised on Chicago's South Side, Jenkins grew up surrounded by gospel, blues, and the lively music of the Regal Theater. Influenced by Cab Calloway, she developed a call-and-response style to engage children in learning through song. After graduating from San Francisco State University, Jenkins used music as a teaching tool in Chicago community centers, releasing her debut album Call-And-Response: Rhythmic Group Singing in 1957. Her legacy endures in songs like “You'll Sing a Song and I'll Sing a Song,” preserved in the Library of Congress. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

“Harlem is the queen of the black belts, drawing Aframericans together in a vast humming hive . . . from the different states, from the islands of the Caribbean, and from Africa . . . It is the Negro capital of the world.”  This is the story of the Harlem Renaissance.  In the early twentieth century, many Black families and individuals down South are finding that the only way out is up—to the North. Driven by Jim Crow discrimination and harsh economic realities, hundreds of thousands of African Americans head to cities like Chicago (the “promised land”) or Harlem (“Black Mecca”). This Great Migration fosters communities of gifted artists, and eventually, the rest of the country takes notice.  By the 1920s, Black culture is truly blooming. Up-and-coming writers including Zora Neal Hurston and Langston Hughes are crafting literature we still consume some 100 years later. Master musicians like Cab Calloway and Ella Fitzgerald are scattin' up a storm in New York clubs. And let's not forget the visual arts! The Harlem Renaissance features countless artists that contribute mightily to American culture and Black identity: let's meet just a few.  (Audio of Cab Calloway was recorded in 1982 at the White Plains Public Library in White Plains, NY, and used with their permission. We are grateful to the library and encourage listeners to support their local public library for the services they provide.) ____ Connect with us on HTDSpodcast.com and go deep into episode bibliographies and book recommendations join discussions in our Facebook community get news and discounts from The HTDS Gazette  come see a live show get HTDS merch or become an HTDS premium member for bonus episodes and other perks.

The best movie podcast duo out there (sorry, not sorry) is back to discuss John Landis 1980 musical comedy, The Blues Brothers! Raekwon's never seen it before and, boy oh boy, did Nick feel the need to change that. For those of you that don't know, The Blues Brothers is a film adaptation of the popular SNL characters of the same name/real blues revue band led by Dan Ackroyd and John Belushi. The film, which casts them as the Blues, follows them on an adventure to raise $5000 to save the orphanage they grew up in, and finds them joined by legendary black musicians such as Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Cab Calloway and Ray Charles. They've got a souped up car they've named “The Blues Mobile,” a killer band, and they've pissed off everybody they could in the state of Illinois in the process. And you know what else they've got? A heckin' good movie. Like, easily Nick's favorite musical tier stuff. So join Nick and Raekwon as they discuss the classic musical The Blues Brothers, and how it's an important film in Saturday Night Live's canon that is 100% worth watching! Because, really, it's got a sixty car pileup! How many car crashes do you need for a movie to be worth your time??? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mediaobscura/support

EPISODE 117 | Stay Awake – The Wokeness Issue In a classic example of the weird mirror world days we are currently moving through, a term used by Black people to mean one thing has been turned by opportunists into something totally different.  So, let's look at the origin of the term "woke", how it's been used, African-American Vernacular English (AAVE), the Black Lives Matter movement, Defund the Police, and the appropriating of the word by those who see more personal profit in keeping us all divided.

Support Breaking Walls at https://www.patreon.com/thewallbreakers By November of 1944 Suspense was pulling a rating of 10.4. There were now more than eight million people tuning in. Roma wines was satisfied as Suspense was providing stiff competition to The Frank Morgan Show running opposite on NBC Thursday nights at 8PM eastern time. On November 9th Lena Horne guest-starred in a Robert L. Richards script called “You Were Wonderful” about the murder of a nightclub singer in South America. Horne is the visiting American singer intent on solving the crime. Lena Horne was born on June 30th, 1917 in Brooklyn, New York. Both sides of her family were multi-racial with both African and Native American heritage. Her father Teddy was a one-time owner of a restaurant and hotel while her mother Edna was an actress with a traveling theater troupe. As a young girl Lena's father left the family to move to Pittsburgh, while Lena traveled with her mother around the country before returning to New York City when she was twelve. Lena dropped out of high school at sixteen and joined the chorus line at the Cotton Club. In 1935 she made her first screen appearance as a dancer in Cab Calloway's musical short Jitterbug Party. She got married in 1937, but soon separated from her husband, first touring with bandleader Charlie Barnet in 1940 before returning to New York to work at Cafe Society in Greenwich Village. She soon replaced Dinah Shore as vocalist on NBC's The Chamber Music Society of Lower Basin Street and recorded with Henry Levine and Paul Laval, in June 1941 for RCA Victor. Horne then left New York City for Hollywood, being hired to perform in a Cotton Club-style revue for Cafe Trocadero on the Sunset Strip. In 1942, when she became the first African-American with a major studio contract, it was with the understanding that she wouldn't be obligated to portray servants—a condition that handicapped her entrée into mainstream Hollywood movies. She soon appeared in the films Panama Hattie, Cabin in the Sky, Stormy Weather, Thousands Cheer, Swing Feever, Broadway Rhythm, and Two Girls and a Sailor. With the exceptions of Cabin in the Sky and Stormy Weather, Lena's early screen appearances were often designed as standalone musical numbers that could easily be cut out in prejudice Southern markets unaccepting of African American performers. Horne's Suspense appearance was big news. Both Spier and his wife Kay Thompson, a friend who worked with her at MGM, pressed the movie studio to allow her to headline the show. Network executives at CBS were concerned that Roma might pull its contract if Southern stations didn't want to air the program. Thompson agreed to appear as Horne's uncredited backup singer in three musical numbers, which Thompson arranged. MGM's publicity department got to work and given the unfortunate day's climate, Horne's appearance was heralded as one of the more daring and successful half hours of network drama at the time. She is the first and only African American to headline Suspense. “It was an event of terrific importance to Lena,” noted Movieland magazine, “for the first time a performance of hers was judged on merit alone; she was announced only as the star of the play, without reference to her race.” Spier noted that in the studio, Lena “seemed so poised, so sure of herself and her every speech, so business-like in her approach to the role.” However when she grabbed his hand for encouragement, she was ice cold. Part of it was performance nerves, but a lot of it came from the anxiety of getting the chance to publicly justify her talent. Horne later said, “Bill was marvelous and intelligent. Anyone married to Kay would have to be strong.” It was an especially memorable and proud evening for members of the African-American community who were glued to their radios in record numbers.

Good Movie Podcast? reconvenes to the realms of archelogy and adventure with Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984). Dr. Indiana Jones returns with some new friends, the spunky kid Short Round and the anything but outdoorsy, lounge singer "Willie" Scott. This unlikely trio is thrown from Shanghai to India on a mystical voyage to bring prosperity back to the downtrodden, recover some sacred stones, and take down a once-thought extant blood-thirsty cult. This Spielberg summer block buster sequel is quite important to both Dan and Jonathan but will it feel more like a wildly fun minecart ride or just some "snake surprise." It might be for fortune and glory, but maybe, just maybe we will discover something much deeper in this booby trapped labyrinth. We keep telling you that if you listen to this podcast you will live longer.     Rate, Review, Subscribe, and Listen to Us on Podbean/iTunes/Stitcher/Spotify Follow us on Instagram:@animewasnotamistakepodcast Or on Facebook:@animewasnotamistakepod Music Provided by: Cab Calloway, Irving Mills and Clarence Gaskill – “Minnie the Moocher” – RCA Instrumental/Karaoke Version Dave Flesischer – “Let's All Go to the Lobby”- National Film Registry/Library of Congress Kansas Joe McCoy, Herb Morand– “Why Don't You Do Right” – Claudia Santoro Instrumental/Karaoke Version
