[Dixielandjazz] Bunny Berigan

[John Farrell]

I'm posting this mainly out of academic interest. Here's probably the only film clip ever made featuring Berigan (he also sings forgettably!) playing in 1936 - the year I was born - with the Fred Rich Orchestra. The Rich band was more of a competent dance outfit than a jazz band but here and there it has its moments.
