Jazz, blues and nostalgia, compiled by Sjaak Roodenburg. Today, a rather swinging Palace: with a jazzy Frank Sinatra in Australia, with Red Norvo, jazz & blues singer Joe Williams together with Count Basie, and the vibraphone player Lionel Hampton with ‘Muskrat Ramble’.
Furthermore: Wim Sonneveld, telling amusingly about the film ‘Het wonderlijke leven van Willem Parel’ (The wondrous life of Willem Parel)
Vocal acrobatics by The Mills Brothers and creamy South American sounds by the band of Xavier Cugat.
Dick Haymes, the undeservedly forgotten singer, with the resigned song ‘C’est la vie’. Also, a lounge version of ‘Hooray for Hollywood’ by Don Swan. And the Bulgarian pianist Dimitar Bodurov.
Further: a sad stroll with one’s own shadow by The Four Knights, Jo Stafford with The Pied Pipers and we dwell upon Trini Lopez’s death.
