Bix Plays With Puffed Cheeks

Greetings Phantom Dancers!

A mix of two classic Phantom Dancers for you this week as I will be in another studio mixing the latest Greg Poppleton & his Bakelite Broadcasters CDs

Yep! CDs. Two albums, possibly 3 albums, recorded live in a studio over 9 hours. I aim to get the first CD out to you both physically and digitally by late September. Stay tuned!

In the meantime, you can see and dance to Greg Poppleton & his Bakelite Broadcasters next weekend at…

Saturday 30 June, Penrith RSL, Swing Out West, 8 Tindale St Penrith, 2 – 5pm
Sunday 1 July, Concrete Blonde, Sunday Jazz Lunch, 33 Bayswater Road Kings Cross, 12:30 – 3:30pm

Phantom Dancer Video Of The Week: Here’s some curious footage of Bix Beidebecke with the Paul Whiteman Orchestra from a 1928 Newsreel. Enjoy!

(Next day) Incredibly, another example of someone who doesn’t own the footage, posting on YouTube then jealously making sharing difficult. A case of honour amongst thieves? Amazing!

Phantom Dancer Tues 19 June And Sat 24 June, CRN Show #4

Because I’ve been suddenly called out on a job, the advertised live Phantom Dancer for Tues 19 June and Sat 24 June on 107.3 2SER and the live steam has been held over till next week

In its place, you’ll hear a classic Phantom Dancer, that is, unless you tune into The Phantom Dancer on radio stations outside of Sydney. Then you would not have heard this edition before. It will be listed as CRN (Community Radio Network) Show #4

Here’s the link to the play list: http://gregpoppleton.wordpress.com/2012/01/14/betty-boop-i-heard/

There’s a set of radio broadcasts from 1930s-40s Australian and New Zealand radio on this classic show, as well as live swing and jazz by Larry Clinton, Louis Armstrong & George Trevare

Enjoy!
Greg
