via Terry Teachout:
A rare film clip of Eddie “Cleanhead” Vinson singing the blues with Cootie Williams’ band in 1943…
It’s also got the Douglas Brothers tapping, and at 4:40 Whitey’s Lindy Hoppers Leon James & Dottie Mae Johnson and Russell Williams & Connie Hill.
Guess What Photo is One Of LIFE Magazine Editors' Faves?
Over the past three years, the staff at LIFE.com has pored over tens of thousands of extraordinary LIFE pictures — including some of the most celebrated photographs ever made. Here, in an exercise that proved thrilling, humbling, satisfying, and exasperating all at once, each staffer selected five all-time favorites. Could we have expanded the list to 10, or 20, or 50 favorites? In a heartbeat. But for now, these will have to suffice.
Just in case you somehow missed this: Ryan Francois & Remy Kouakou Kouame channel Al Minns & Leon James.
