[Dixielandjazz] Fwd: Erskine Hawkins Day

[Marek Boym]

Dick Baker asked for identification of soundie songs.
Here is something by the Erskine Hawkins Orchestra..
30's Jazz gives the title as "Swingin' in Harlem," but the video itself
reads "unknowqn title."
So which is it?
Cheers

Trumpet player and big band leader
Erskine Hawkins was born on July 26,
1914 Birmingham, Alabama.

As a high schooler, Hawkins was taught
by Fess Whatley, whose other pupils went
on to play with Duke Ellington, Louis
Armstrong and others.

Hawkins gained popularity in the ‘30s as
a bandleader and songwriter, penning the
1939 hit “Tuxedo Junction.”

Here’s a scene from the 1937 film Deviled
Ham in which Hawkins performs with his
big band.
