Happy Feet Friday

The 1948-1949 Metronome All-Stars presented an electrifying lineup, including Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Fats Navarro, Charlie Ventura and Buddy De Franco, among others. Here they are with “Overtime”.

Wow, all the stars in top form. Pete Rugolo wrote that, as well as Stan Kenton's best stuff, and all the TV music I grew up with too.

What's more, I always wondered who that way out jazz band in 'Where the Boys Are' was (with 'The Joker' pretending to play bass) - yep, Pete Rugolo. Now I know.
