…and now for something completely different! 3017 - 2026

These damned religious fanatics, politicians, warlords, and so on... They all bring death and destruction, even though they know they are just as superfluous as telephone disinfectants and hairdressers! - RYP

If you love Mills Brother's style music check out The Spirits of Rhythm.

"Spirits of Rhythm were an American jazz string band. The ensemble's members had previously played under several other names (The Sepia Nephews, Ben Bernie's Nephews, The Five Cousins), and upon adding Teddy Bunn as guitarist in 1932, the group began calling itself Spirits of Rhythm. They occasionally recorded and performed frequently on 52nd Street in New York City, as well as in Hollywood films in the 1930s and early 1940s.

The group featured vocalists accompanied by string instruments, sometimes with other accompaniment such as homemade percussion instruments and harmonica. In addition to guitar and bass, the Spirits of Rhythm featured ukulele-family instruments, including more than one Martin-style tiple, a 10-string tenor uke with multiple strings on each course. The group vocals included scat. With some personnel changes and name changes reflecting the number of members, the group kept performing until 1946."

Sam Donahue and The Navy Dance band
aka Sam Donahue and The Band of the U.S. Navy Liberation Forces - 1945

"Samuel Koontz Donahue (March 18, 1918 – March 22, 1974)[1] was an American jazz saxophonist, trumpeter, and musical arranger. He performed with Gene Krupa, Tommy Dorsey, Benny Goodman, Billy May, Woody Herman, and Stan Kenton.
During World War II, Donahue took over the US Navy band of Artie Shaw. Marc Myers of JazzWax stated that “Donahue's Navy Band was easily one of the most swinging bands of the war.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Donahue

Sadly, Donahue's post-War bands were never this hot.

@Rick Saunders - A bit of trivia: Teddy Bunn is mentioned in Frank Zappa's song Village Of The Sun.

Thanks to Frank for CENTRAL AVENUE BREAKDOWN VOL. 1
I thought it was long shot but not as long as I thought. Greatly appreciated. I recently found a 4 disc collection of early LA jazz that I'll post soonish.
