[Dixielandjazz] Fred Rich orch on Turner Classic Movies

[Stan Brager]

Charlie;

I did some further research on this short since a friend's father played 
with Fred Rich at one time. According to Turner Classic Movies, the short 
is just 24 minutes in length. The short features George Hall's Orchestra 
from 1936 and the Fred Rich orchestra from 1938.

In 1938, both Dorsey's and Bunny Berigan had their own bands. Although I 
doubt that they would be in this short, one never knows.

Please let me know if you spot anyone in the short.

FYI - A Movie short featuring Fred Rich and one other band will be shown on 
Turner Classic Movies on November 11, 2002 at 5:30 AM Eastern Standard Time 
(USA).  I'm not familiar with this short, but hope to catch maybe a glimpse 
of Bunny and the Dorseys.  I'll have my VCR programmed.

I also want to take this opportunity to thank all of the fine jazz 
musicians who inhabit this site for keeping OKOM alive, well and growing!
