Joshua Mora Morton wrote it and he and King Oliver recorded the song together (Morton on piano and Oliver on cornet) and Morton recorded a piano solo on a 1939 record.
@@ericdreizen1463 Hi. I also met Si several times in Detroit(Auto Show) and Windsor(Across the border)Elmwood Casino, (1966-1967)He was very nice, and offered me a job with the band on trombone. I couldn't take it as I was at that time a musician in the RCAF(Canadian Forces) band.He was the most outstanding and exciting trombonist I ever heard in person before or since, and his band was great. I understand that he was a very hard taskmaster.
True Joe e Brown was a very good baseball player in his younger years came close to signing with the new York Yankees with the Ruth gerhrig team of the 1920 s he had one son killed in wwtwo and another son owner of the Pittsburgh pirates baseball team
Hollywood canteen was a real place where soldiers sailors airmen went there for free food and drinks backed by the Hollywood studios Stars served the servicemen the comedian joe e Brown was a very good baseball player in his younger years came close to signing with the new York Yankees with the Ruth gerhrig team of the 1920 s Jimmy Dorsey was underrated played the saxophone and clarinet equally well most band leaders played just one instrument well Hollywood canteen a great idea by Hollywood then
@@Joshster-si6ov It sounds like Babe Russin to me and he was in JD's band 1942-44 Charlie Ventura was with Krupa at this time. Mind you the mustache is similar
There are a few black couples among the dancers....I wonder what the reality was for black soldiers who went to The Hollywood Canteen? Did they feel welcomed, were there black woman for them to dance with? Anyone know?
The actual canteen was an integrated place though most of its guests preferred to socialize with their own race. This did not however apply to the volunteers
The song is "King Porter Stomp," made famous mostly be Benny Goodman and Fletcher Henderson.
Thank you.

"King Porter Stomp" rocks here!
Led by underrated Jimmy Dorsey who played the saxophone and clarinet equally well most band leaders played just one instrument well
Great Trombonist and bandleader Si Zentner was playing lead trombone here.
He play the saxophone not the trombone, it was Tommy Dorsey who played the trombone
@@izakzurita3984 Read my comment again. You didn't read it correctly. I said Si Zentner was playing lead trombone in this orchestra.
@@m.j.mcilroy5470 I met Si Zentner duding the break at Orange Coast College. Frank DeVol was in the audience.

Bobby Dukoff plays tenor solo; Ray Linn the trumpet solo.
Buddy Schutz on drums. Together with B. Rich one of the loudest drummers of the swing era.
And Jimmy Dorsey underrated band leader played the saxophone and clarinet equally well most band leaders played just one instrument well
Recognize Joe E. Louis from "Some Like It Hot" 15 years later? Jimmy Dorsey could set an empty room on fire!
Wish the entire show was shown...

Bugs Bunny waits for Baby to get a ham sandwich! One coconut custard cream pie with with whipped cream, pick up pie!
Better times.
True looked liked America winning wwtwo and having fun too
by any chance does anyone know who's the one playing the cello?
There's no cello there. Did you mean bass?
@@bmjpdx9222 yes
He looks comical but good
Does anyone know the name of saxophonist playing the solo at around 1:50?
I think its Irwing "Babe" Russin who also were with Jimmys brother Tommy a while.
@@perwalden57 NO NO NO! It's Charley Ventura who went on and played in a number of small groups. A very fine sax man.
@@MrSwing-iy7bh Nah, it can't be him. Charlie was a lot more thinner than this saxophonist. But it could be him
@@Joshster-si6ov It sounds like Babe Russin to me and he was in JD's band 1942-44
Charlie Ventura was with Krupa at this time. Mind you the mustache is similar
@@irsw51 That makes sense. It looks like Russin
👍

Good question
At the real Hollywood Canteen none of the Stars were allowed to date any of the Servicemen but "Victory Girls" waited outside,some as young as 14.
