His "Jump, Jive and Wail" is also outstanding!
I suggest doing that, and then doing the original by Louis Prima
Yes!
All of his music is outstanding
It’s a 40s hit with some 30s swing done in a 50s style by an 80s guy who’s kept rocking’ into the 90s, 00s, 10s, 20s, and Lord willing, on into the next 50s!!
A hit from 1940 by the Glenn Miller Orchestra, popularized in the UK by him conducting the US Army Air Force Band for live shows and radio during WW2. Just FYI, Harri. Another fine reaction. 👍🏻
1940s Big Band sound with new style guitar! Brian is the GOAT!
There Christmas album is the best I get it out every year
They do a great version of "Rock This Town" too. 👍😎
Love Brian! Gotta do his The Stray cats his first band!!! His work is phenomenal
I've had the privilege of seeing this cool cat live both with the Stray Cats and with his orchestra. This dude is a serious composer! Great request Ed!
Liked the Stray Cats...but LOVE the Brian Setzer Orchestra
YES!!! You gotta do “Jump Jive and Wail” next…PLEASE !!!
And also do the original by Louis Prima
Probably the best cover of this Glenn Miller classic. In the US the first 3 numbers after the area code (city code) of phone numbers indicated the neighborhood. Back in the day if you asked someone for their number, they would actually say the name of the neighborhood + the last 5 digits. The first 2 letter of the neighborhood name corresponded to the numbers on the phone dial. If you watch old I Love Lucy shows you hear it a lot. Her number was Murray-hill 5-9975. Murray Hill is a neighborhood in Manhattan. The phone number would have been 687-9975. Old phone books would have printed it MU7-9975.
My back in the day family phone was Sunset 56744. A couple miles away, the numbers began with Cedar.
"In the Mood" by the Glenn Miller Orchestra is what you're thinking of ..
(My grandfather was a big band trumpet player in the 30s/40s-- played with Dorsey Brothers, Benny Goodman, Bunny Berrigan, Harry James. Etc)
I really like all the stuff Brian Setzer has done. First with "The Stray Cats" in the old rockabilly style & then with the big band style with his orchestra. Nice that he brought back some nostalgia for the older music. This song "Pennsylvania 6-5000" was made famous in the 1940's by Glenn Miller & His Orchestra. They had a lot of great songs you may want to check out.
You are humming a couple more Glenn Miller songs (In the Mood, String of Pearls, etc.) The greatest big band sound ever.
Our Sunday mornings always started out with big bands on the hi-fi when I was young. Glenn Miller Band was and is my absolute favorite. 🇨🇦
The spirit of the original music is faithfully preserved hear...best to you brother
Saw him on on a couple of his Christmas themed tours, which always seems to be when his tours come thru my city. Full orchestra, always a great show, would like to see him do a non holiday show someday tho. He brings it!!
You might recognize Setzer, from The Stray Cats….
ETA..This is in old Glenn Miller song.. Setzer makes it a bit rowdier.
Brian Setzer is also an amazing guitarist. Great reaction Harri😎
Pennsylvania 6-5000 was the telephone number of the the Hotel Pennsylvania in New York City.
Fantastic ❤❤❤
PE-65000 was, and believe still is, the official telephone number of the "Cafe Rouge" in New York City's legendary "Pennsylvania Hotel", where Glenn Miller's Orchestra played regularly. The scene in the fabulous 1954 biopic, "The Glenn Miller Story", starring Jimmy Stewart and June Alyson, where the hit tune is first introduced is funny, poignant, and spectacular... 😀😄 👍💋
I was holding my breath on this one, Harri. Not sure you'd like it. Not to worry, though. Your reaction was exactly as hoped and much like my own. This is 40's big-band swing crossed with Rock ;n Roll . . . and, amazingly, it works. In fact, it positively sizzles!!
Brian Setzer Orchestra usually do a Christmas show - it adds the 5o’s Rockabilly flavor and is fantastic!!!
I was lucky enough to have seen the Christmas concert twice at the Greek theater in LA. It was just magical...
Sleepwalk - Brian Setzer Orchestra live. You will not regret it.
I got to see them when they came out with their 1st Christmas album. It was a real hoot . . .
I love those gigantic Gretsch guitars that Setzer always plays. They are the aircraft carriers of guitars.
Please be SURE to also check out his videos of "In The Mood" and "Americano", both of which are absolutely AWESOME!!! 👌😀😎👏😊
this WAS originally a "40's big band" instrumental. The orjgjnal lyrics were only ",Pennsylvania 6 ,5, oh, oh, oh" once a verse by the orchestra. But this is fun.
Rock this town live from Tokyo
wish they make songs like that today.
Fantastic choice Ed. I was not familiar with this artist but I certainly am now!! Great insights Harri 🌺✌️
The Hotel Pennsylvania in NYC, across the street from Penn Station (named for the Pennsylvania Railroad), still uses the number 212-736-5000 (PE6-5000). They used to have a ballroom where the Glenn Miller Orchestra (among others) would play. The song is about calling them, making a reservation, and coming down to jitterbug with the band! You should listen to some of their other songs, like In The Mood, Tuxedo Junction, I've Got a Girl in Kalamazoo, String of Pearls.
I'm not of that era but loved the big band music of the 30's and 40's and Dixieland prior to that. Used to go to a place called "The Speakeasy" for Dixieland. Had a much older cousin who played sax in big bands during WW2. People who fail to listen to music from any era or genre are depriving themselves of a lot of enjoyment. Brian is very talented and charismatic.
Brian is a very talented musician
If you haven't checked out The Stray Cats, you should listen to Brian Setzer with that group. Stray Cat Strut is always fun to listen to. After reading other people's comments, I knew why this song was so familiar. My Dad played Glenn Miller Army Air Force Band albums all the time when we were growing up. I have an enormous appreciation for big band music because of this. Also have the five album set since my Dad passed. They're oldies, but goodies!
Another great cover by Brian, originally done by Glenn Miller (1944) written by Jerry Gray(7/3/1915-8/10/1976) this is a phone number of the Pennsylvania Hotel in N.Y.C before area codes. Also covered by the Andrews Sisters. It's 65 years later since Miller did it. Brian Setzer is a very talented musician who likes to reinventing himself.
I'm a 63 yr old phat white guy and I subscribed b/c I like the way that you appreciat the music...
1,523,342 views.... so far... You'll like it too.... 4 black brothers with a white drummer created this ICONIC Masterpiece from the 60’s Psychedelic Era Trust me…. You do not want your life to end without hearing this song. “TIME HAS COME TODAY“- The Chambers Brothers - Album Long version, then Live. PLEASE and Thank You
Seriously, you need to do "Sing Sing Sing" by Benny Goodman. If you like bouncing to jive then you should go to the best.
He had a three piece band called the Stray Cats, which included him, a bass player, and drummer. I'm not positive, but I think they are the same bass player and drummer playing here. I really hope you continue with some more of Brian Setzer. His Japan concert was awesome!
Sadly the other band members were not involved with the orchestra...
The song it reminds you of is, In The Mood. They also do that one.
Brian always rocks. Perhaps you'd like the drumming better if Slim Jim was hitting the skins? Brian's hair has deflated over the years...lol. Check out The Stray Cats and you'll see what I mean.
BRIAN SETZER - Musician.
Loved the Stray Cats. Not so sure about the wife beater vest though 🤣
If you would like to try another big band sound there is a band from Canada called the Downchild Blues Band. One of their hits was called Flip Flop and Fly.
The Blues Brothers were fans.
@@sirslice Dan Aykroyd was one of the Blues Brothers and he is also Canadian. That is why he knows about the Downchilds Blues Band.
'In the Mood' is that song.
How did "The Honeydrippers" with Brian Setzer & Robert Plant not come up in that google search?
You mean the Pointer Sisters perhaps ? And yeah The Stray Cats. Try Rock this town live in Montreux.
He does a good instrumental with Johnny Winter on Johnny Winter Step Back, should check it out it's called Okie Dokie Stomp.
You need to hear "Warhorse" some 60s folk rock
Sorry Harri you're getting your decades mixed up Big Band Swing started in the late 30's and was big in the 40's. This definitely definitely got Me in "The Mood" for some Glenn Miller who invented that type of music 🎶 and We lost too early. Mum was a Teenager of the 40's who was into Big Band Swing, The Crooners and an Elvis Fan. Dad was an Old Fashioned Rock And Roll Is A Message From The Devil Type. As a Little Girl I grew up hearing Celtic Folk Songs, Classical, Old Country And Western alongside 50's Music. When I was 13 Mum and I left My Abusive Father, moving from Brisbane to The Atherton Tablelands, Far North Queensland. My Big Sister moved in with Us, She started teaching Me about Older Artists and I taught Her about 90's Music. Mum became a fan of ABBA, The Beatles, The Bee Gees and The Everly Brothers. As a result I just plain Love ❤ Music from Classical to Heavy Metal. Bon Jovi's My All Time Favourite. Mum didn't understand what I saw in Heavy Metal, She could be excused for that. But She didn't stop Me from listening to it, I just couldn't turn it up. I either had to wait until She left home or wear headphones 🎧.
That was a classic story and I enjoyed it...
You have to do Jump Jive and Wail! It’s soooo good!,
can't get better than Glenn Miller.......
it was a ww2 era song.
hey have you ever done 867-5309 / Jenny Song by Tommy Tutone
or for a way out there song: Bobby Brown by the legendary Frank Zappa
edit: regards from country Victoria Australia.
Harri doesnt do "Subscriber" requests....Ive been begging for "Changes" by Loggins and Messina for quite a while!...Sad!
Check out HOLLYWOOD NOCTURNE!
Pretty good. Nothing beats the originals though. Go taste Tex Beneke with The Modernaires.
If you like this then you need some "Reverend Horton Heat - Bales Of Cocaine"
