- Plot:
Two things about this RKO released musical short that I noted. The first was there was a mixture of both black and white acts, something not often seen in thosedays. The lead at a black orchestra led by one Lucky Millander whom I did not knowbut will try to find out more about.A white group of five singers, three males and two females called the Quintones did a song Johnny Mercer wrote called jamboree Jones. Mercerrecorded it himself and a bit more than a decade after this short subject wasreleased, Mercer pal Bing Crosby did a classic record of it. Quite enjoyable.Swing music fans will like this.
