The Boswell Sisters, for those who are unfamiliar with them, were just great. Not only were their harmonies incredibly tight, but they played with meter a lot, and did surprising arrangements, using the best jazz musicians from the early to mid-30's Connee is the only one who stuck with music after they broke up. The Andrews Sisters took their style to the bank, but it's the Boswell Sisters whose music holds up.

Connie - they don't make 'em like her anymore. And Jack sounds so young on this broadcast.

Terrific performance! The chat by Jack and Connee at the end is a riot. Pure Benny!

Love you, Connee!
The Historic New Orleans will open an exhibit on the Boswell Sisters in April 2014. Come on down for French Quarter Fest and check it out.
Very few recordings of this outside of Glen Miller's.
It's Glenn, by the way. Interestingly there is a recording from 1939 by Glen (sic!) Gray, and one by Jack Hylton, also from 1939.
