| Imagine
yourself in the US Armed Services
at the height of World War II. A long way from home, you yearn for
music, company and the chance to hold a girl in your arms. You head
down to the local canteen. The hall is draped in red, white and
blue. The floor is filled with servicemen and their sweethearts,
dancing to the joyous sound of a roaring big band.
The
spirit, style and sound of that unforgettable
time are recreated in this one-of-a-kind concert film, featuring
18 of the era's greatest swing tunes. Renowned crooner and bandleader
Eric Felten is joined by noted vocalist Mary Cleere Haran, a 30-piece
jazz orchestra, and some of America's finest swing dancers to celebrate
the music that helped win the war.
These
are the songs that inspired a generation--We'll
Meet Again, Kalamazoo, As Time Goes By, In the Mood, Sentimental
Journey, and many other favorites. Relive the joy and sweet
sorrow of The Big Band Sound of WWII, forever captured
in the heartwarming and nostalgic musical tribute. |
