Skip Martin's Scheherajazz
This packs a punch!
It first caught my eye by the va-va-voom cover art; then the idea of the Rimsky-Korsakov "chestnut" being shaken around in the hands of a 1950s-version of a jazz band.
So I picked it up, and boy howdy. It always packs a punch. Kind of like the old Hawaiian Punch commercials. Or, the scenes in old TV shows where a hysterical person is calmed by one slap to the face. They shake their head and say, "Thanks! I needed that."
The performers are the "Video All-Stars."
Some info about Skip Martin is here. And here's a forum by jazz enthusiasts telling all sort of technical details about it.
I just think it's a lot of fun. So give it a try.
