Jammin' the Blues (a short film made in 1944)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnqXWCWSLIY

here's info on this from the youtube link:
features Lester Young, Red Callender, Harry Edison, Marlowe Morris, Sid Catlett, Barney Kessel, Joe Jones, John Simmons, Illinois Jacquet, Marie Bryant, Archie Savage and Garland Finney. For some, this is their only known appearance in a theatrical film. Barney Kessel is the only white performer in the film. He was seated in the shadows to shade his skin, and for closeups, his hands were stained with berry juice. Lindy Hop legends Archie Savage and Marie Bryant do the Lindy Hop (Jitterbug) on this footage. Directed by Gjon Mili and selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry.

Thanks for being so thoughtful.

2. thank you!

glad I have a chance to share them. I think they're some of the "greatest hits" for me over the last year.

I LOVE Kunstbar. funny and original. I think it's my favorite, tho Yo-Yo Ma playing Bach is a beautiful thing.

If you look back at some of the art on global mosaic - some of it is amazing. people can work on their own tile project too - if you're in real time ppl can move whatever you're doing.
