[Tango-L] West Coast Swing

[Igor Polk]

Regarding the origins of swing.
Have somebody seen "The Spirit Moves" ?
What do you think?

( 3 short tapes cost about $150. Performance by black dancing amateurs of
Savoy in 1940-s.
It is rather the collection of documents, visual facts than movie.
"Only for true aficionados".
)

They present vividly that it was "slotted". ( I do not give any
explanations - I am not a specialist in it. I am zero in swing. But I've
seen it, so I think the record might give ideas why. )
