Nat King Cole and Billy Eckstein at the Royal Roost, 1948. The Royal Roost was a jazz club that became one of the most legendary venues for modern jazz. Its heyday only lasted eleven months but in that time they presented all of the great names of the bebop era. It was located, not on 51st (Swing) Street, but at 1580 Broadway between 47th and 48th Streets.

Of all the boys I've known, and I've known some Until I first met you, I was lonesome And when you came in sight, dear, my heart grew light And this old world seemed new to me

I love watching old movie shorts about jazz bands, and this one was very charming. I hope you'll like it too!

A little background on Mr. Savitt himself:

Jan Savitt (born Jacob Savetnick in 1907, in what is now Shumsk, Ukraine) was a very talented musician, having previously performed in Leopold Stokowski's orchestra as a violinist; he later pursued a successful career as a bandleader, and Jan Savitt & His Top Hatters became the staff orchestra at Philadelphia's NBC affiliate (KYW/NBC) in 1938. Among the singers who performed with Savitt's band was George "Bon Bon" Tunnell, one of the first African-American singers to perform with a white band (Tunnell later pursued his own solo career; among the songs he recorded was a version of "I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire").

Very sadly, Jan Savitt suffered a cerebral hemorrhage while traveling to a Sacramento concert with his orchestra and died aged 41 - just two years after this film was made. He was survived by his wife, Barbara Ann Stillwell, and two daughters (one of whom, Jo Ann, later married into the Douglas family; her husband was Kirk Douglas' son Joel, and they lived in Clark Gable and Carole Lombard's former residence in Palm Springs, CA until Jo Ann's death in 2013).

I only discovered Jan Savitt and his band recently, and was very sad to see that he'd passed away at such a young age. He had an incredible musical talent and I wish we'd been able to see and hear more of it before his passing!

1926: “This girl has all of [the] trends and she’s not loath to wear them at once: bell earrings, a dog collar worn as a necklace, a large beauty spot on her cheek, an ivory cigarette holder, a design to cover the vaccination mark on her arm, heavy bracelets, an anklet, a photo of a boyfriend on her stocking, an anklet watch, fancy garters worn below the knee and a mirror fastened to her wrist.”

Waiting for wristwatch anklets to make a comeback
