These girls are just lovely, playing Route 66 which is so popular around the world. All are playing well and are in the mood. Big band Jazz, a difficult combination and they have given an excellent performance. Best wishes for their future!
The gentleman on piano was Minoru Ozone, father of Makoto Ozone, a world-famous jazz pianist. The father is obviously no slouch either, but unfortunately, passed away in Feb. 2018. The BFJO is still a fantastic jazz/swing band. Listen to them go from jazz to a killer rendition of "Perfidia" in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YfEyYjcGCHI.html ..Joe
Boy, they really ARE friendly, I started grinning at the start with the puppet gals,and never stopped grinning all the way through. The conductor's little wink at the cameraman was just the pinnacle of the friendly, happy mood. Such talent, too, so smooth and so sharp. Great jazz.
EXCELLENT all-girl jazz band -- you don't hear *that* too often! Hpe they all stay in jazz as they grow up. Very fine arrangement, too -- kudos to the arranger.
Thought I had seen everything in music on youtube. Here are young japanese girls doing a jazz song written and performed in 1946. They are very talented, wearing all the same sailor uniforms. What a great contrast to the crappers that think they are musicians. The puppet girls are a cute touch . Never will see this on TV in the US. It's Justin Beavers and other rubbish.
They are so similar to the people in the film " Swing Girls" Just one FANTASTIC guy on the piano, A GREAT FILM with sub-tittles. Check out the film.....GREAT!
I am impressed, I have not heard a young band this tight - Puts a lot of (seasoned) professional to bed. I had my head turned and thought L. Armstrong started that trumpet solo! Nice Job.
"Stickans Swing o Swäng" The Girls are playing very well and with a nice melody with the name "Route 66" I love this melody Thank you girls! Stig Karlsson Grängesberg Sweden and Scandinavia.
I'd like to know as well. Can the arrangement be obtained in the US??? Hope someone will reply. At least a couple of people would like to know. Thanks BFJO!!
I've watched several of these videos featuring Japanese bands, including the fancy marching bands with their dancing and all. My question: Why are these bands about 99 percent girls? Is there some reason boys don't play instruments in Japan?
