"Minnie the Moocher" is a #jazz song co-written by American musician #CabCalloway and first recorded in 1931 by Calloway and his #bigBand orchestra, selling over a million copies. "Minnie the Moocher" is famous for its nonsensical #adLibbed lyrics, also known as #scatSinging (for example, its refrain of "Hi de hi de hi de ho"). In performances, Calloway would have the audience.

In Glasgow city centre on Friday 20 March? Fancy listening to some fine jazz performances?! Then you might like to attend a performance of the Strathclyde University Big Band. Free entry!

The Big Band comprises staff, students, alumni, and ex-staff of the University of Strathclyde (of which I am one!). The set list looks like it will feature standards by #Basie, #Cannonball #Adderley, and more.

Dringend gesucht:
"My Way" für Bigband, arrangiert von Dave Wolpe, blöderweise bei allen Verlagen vergriffen (zumindest soweit ich das herausfinden konnte). Würde auch gebraucht kaufen. Vielleicht wenigstens eine Partitur...?
Danke im Voraus für Eure Hilfe!

Beste Unterhaltung durch den 40-köpfigen Musikzug der Freiwilligen Feuerwehr Alt Duvenstedt und mitreißenden Solisten zur Einweihung des @Deula Bildungszentrums in Österrönfeld.

Songs von Lady Gaga über Tina Turner, Bruno Mars bis Arytha Franklyn von Solisten unter Orchesterleiter Joachim Prechtl.

Aus den letzten sechzig Jahren wurde eine Fotostrecke gezeigt, in der man sah, dass die Big Band den Musiker*innen das Tor zur Welt öffnete.

I read this article on Vicky With Three Kisses, and was disappointed I couldn't find any recordings of her.

Made me think of GI Jill who performed a similar, but legitimate roll for US troops. I have lots of recordings of her. You can find more if you poke around the archive...

One of the Allies’ Secret Weapons Against the Nazis Was a 21-Year-Old Woman Armed With a Microphone and a Script of Lies

As “Vicky With Three Kisses,” she strategically sweet-talked and sang to German troops over the airwaves of Europe. But Agnes Bernauer didn’t mean anything she was saying
