Julius Sumner Miller 6 Falling Bodies And Projectiles. Phantom Dancer Radio Show 7 Oct 14

HUZZAH! Tues 7 October Phantom Dancer is NOW ONLINE till mid-November

“Ah, now what would be the highlight of today’s Phantom Dancer?” I ponder, stroking my exceedingly long chin.

“Could it be the bracket of Duke Ellington with a piano solo by the Duke himself as plays Variations On Mood Indigo on a Nat king Cole Show in 1948?”

“Or could it be the bracket of upbeat live 1940s radio swing mixing Lionel Hampton, Stan Kenton and Bobby Sherwood?”

Choose your own highlight from the play list below, then tune in to The Phantom Dancer with Greg Poppleton this Tuesday 30 September, 12noon – 2pm AEST (+10h GMT) on 107.3 2SER Sydney and online at www.2ser.com.

And as this week’s Phantom Dancer Video of the Week, enjoy Part 6 in our 48 part series of ‘Demonstrations in Physics’ as your Phantom Dancer Video of the Week.

Helen Humes Sings With Count Basie. Phantom Dancer Tues 19 Aug 2014

Gosh, Phantom Dancers, will there be enough radio show time to fit in Shorty Rogers Giants from a 1950s Tonight Show? I’ve held it over from two weeks ago.

HEAR TODAY’S SHOW AT 2SER.COM. ONLINE UNTIL OCTOBER

Certainly we’ll hear live swing and dance by Benny Goodman, Jimmy Joy and more. And commercial recordings by Australian singer/comedian Cyril Richards, who blazed a career in London theatre and Broadway; as well as Buenos Aires guitarist and friend of Django Reinhardt, Oscar Aleman.

John J Anthony will be back to dispense sound advice. He pulls it off well when you consider his background. This blog link, if true, makes an interesting read about the sanctimonious Mr A.

This week’s Phantom Dancer Video of the Week is an extraordinary performance of ‘I Cried For You’. It’s sung by Helen Humes with Count Basie at the piano with his small orchestra including Wardell Gray. Brilliant…

What Harry Manx And Greg Poppleton Have In Common

Here’s a quote from an interview with musician Harry Manx by Mark Bannerman (ABC TV). It struck a chord (no pun intended) with me instantly…

Harry Manx is touring Australia. (photo from ABC online)

“I’m lucky”, he says.

“There are not a lot of people mixing Indian ragas and blues,” you can hear a faint chuckle as he says it. He pauses and reflects.

“On shows like The Voice I wouldn’t last a second.”

I also feel very lucky. There are not a lot of people singing the songs of the 1920s and 1930s authentically.

And I know, that since I have no pop sensibility whatsoever, I also wouldn’t last a second on The Voice.

And, like Harry Manx, I also know that the music I and the Bakelite Broadcasters make ‘uplifts’ and takes people on ‘a journey within.’

And that’s the wonderful thing every time we play.

Tragedy Over Niagara in a Barrel (1955). Phantom Dancer 5 Aug 2014

August greetings to you, Phantom Dancers,

The first show of the month and if last week’s show was anything to go by, this Phantom Dancer will be the best show ever. HEAR IT ARCHIVED ONLINE AT 2SER.COM

This Tuesday 5 Aug at 12 noon on 107.3 2SER and online at 2ser.com we listen to 1930s airchecks by Johnny Green the composer of Body and Soul amongst many other songs.

For the Old Fygges, there are 1940s radio broadcasts by Eddie Condon on the Blue Network, This Is Jazz and The Chamber Music Society of Lower Basin Street featuring Henry ‘Hot Lips’ Levine.

The second hour, as always, goes vinyl, and we’ll be going way back to radio broadcasts by bandleaders Anson Weeks and Ray Miller then way forward to radio broadcasts by Dizzy Gillespie and Slim Gaillard.

See the full play list below.

The Phantom Dancer will be online at 2ser.com after the broadcast. Follow the Phantom Dancer links on the Program Guide at http://2ser.com

Hope you like the show, daddy-o. This week’s Phantom Dancer Video of the Week from the YoutTube vaults has a tragic ending.
