Born to Swing (1974 review)
From Monthly Film Bulletin, October 1974 (Vol. 41, No. 489). Postscript: Thanks (once again!) to Ehsan Khoshbakht for providing me with an extra illustration for this review. — J.R. Born to Swing Great Britain, 1973 Director: John Jeremy Dist–TCB. p.c–Silverscreen Productions. p–John Jeremy. p. manager— Angus Trowbridge. sc–John Jeremy. ph–Peter Davis, Tohru Nakamura. photographs–Ernie Smith, Valerie Wilmer. ed–John Jererny. m–Buddy Tate, Earle Warren, Joe Newman, Dicky Wells, Eddie Durham, Snub Mosley, Gene Ramey, Tommy Flanagan, Jo Jones, The Count Basie Band (1943). m. rec—Fred Miller. sd. rec—Ron Yoshida. sd. re-rec— Hugh Strain. narrator–Humphrey Lyttelton. with–Buck Clayton, John Hammond, Andy Kirk, Jo Jones, Albert McCarthy, Gene Krupa, Snub Mosley, Joe Newman, Buddy Tate, Earle Warren, Dicky Wells. 1,773 ft. 49 mins. (16 mm.). This engaging jazz film has both a general subject and a specific one. Generally, it is about American swing music of the past; specifically, its main focus is six veterans of Count Basie’s band in the present. Interspersed with a 1943 clip of the Basie band inspiring some athletic dancers are album covers, flurries of sheet music, neon signs, and a string of short reminiscences: by Andy Kirk, about his stint with the Eleven Clouds of Joy; Snub Mosley, about New York in the Thirties; the doorman at Jimmy Ryan’s, about 52nd Street; Gene Krupa, mainly about himself.
