Benny Goodman, Dizzy Gillespie, Ella Fitzgerald - All Star Swing Festival

The All Star Swing Festival was videotaped at Lincoln Center in the fall of 1972, sponsored by Timex for broadcast on NBC and later aired by public television. The odd format consists of some 16 separate, perfunctory performances by a number of different groups that were active during the heyday of the swing era, with emcee Doc Severinsen popping around various locations in the hall to introduce each band..... .................................................................. 1 - Oh!
