Love these girls, hope they are still together making beautiful music. If they aren't together they should be. The movie was great too even though I had to watch and read the sub-titles.
If that doesn’t get you on your feet, nothing will! Great work Ladies, and thank you for keeping alive some of the best music from the 1930/40s. All those great musicians and composers from the original era of swing will, I’m certain, be looking and smiling down both approvingly and appreciatively on you all!
Glad I found this in my feed because those young ladies are a blast and know how to rock a house. I've loved Swing music for just about all of my 64 years especially the music of Glen Miller and Benny Goodman and they did it. Two thumbs up!!
The first song, Moonlight Serenade was played popular by Glenn Miller. The song Sing, Sing, Sing, was played popular by Benny Goodman. Great gals, these young ladies did so well!
Wow! I haven't heard such great swing in years! These ladies obviously have special qualities, and when combined, those qualities produce a once-in-a-lifetime concert. I guess some things just come together under very special circumstances. These girls are terrific! God bless them and their future endeavors.
You should hear the Orange Devils of Kyoto Tachibana green Band play! They are a school marching band with almost all girl musicians. They practice every day on top of going to school 6 days a week. They are fantastic, also!
Excellent effort. A joy to listen to and I love old time swing (Benny Goodman, Chick Webb, Tommy Dorsey et al) The movie is an absolute hoot as well - really lovely - one of my all time favourites. The drummer (Yukari Toyoshima) is just sooo cool - bet Gene Krupa was smiling down from heaven at her.
Loved the videos....Sooooooo great.... I passed the web address on to all my friends, we all went through High School in the late50's and know the music.. David from Minnesota, USA Fun entertainment.....Thanks ladies.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Este grupo de colegialas japonesas, casi entre los 15 a 16 años cuando mucho, aprendieron desde puro cero a tocar sus instrumentos en la Escuela de Música Yamaha de Tokio, practicando intensamente durante siete largos meses, y aunque parezca increíble, ellas tocan en vivo, no hay doblaje ni pantomima de ninguna naturaleza. Lo más impresionante de todo es cómo se metieron en el pellejo todo el picante del swing y el foxtrot americanos para tocar estos temas con esa garra y ese carácter que le imprimían las orquestas americanas de los 40 a los 60; quien las escuchara sin verlas no podría siquiera imaginar que son unas chiquillas de no más de 18 años, pero todas tocan como unas verdaderas profesionales.
Love how the girl on 1st trombone was really getting into it on Sing Sing Sing. Is she different girl from one that was in the movie? I felt for the girl on trumpet who missed that last high note. But she stayed with it. Even the best miss notes. Would have loved to been there to see this live. Since this was back in 2005, what are these ladies doing now?
I've seen them do sing sing sing elsewhere. It's always great, and this is their best yet--especially the drumming, which is more Krupa-esque than earlier performances.
