Big Noise from Winnetka

[@NoirFan01]

A 99-year-old friend from church told me about Bob Crosby and this song today. That’s what brought me here.

[@croonyerzoonyer]

You’re lucky to know someone from the golden era.

[@johnerdmann2700]

SO ELEGANT AND COOL WHAT A DIFFERENT TIME!!

[@johnlester6113]

One of my first records ,and as a 96year old, still loving it.Nobody does it better than these two,Bob Haggert and Ray Beduke (? spelling) part of Bob Crosby band.

[@richardgraham5051]

From the 1943 movie "Reveille with Beverly". This movie also has numbers by Count Basie, Duke Ellington, The Mills Brothers, Freddy Slack, and Frank Sinatra.

[@drtmuir]

Don't forget Ann Miller!

[@moosicphreak]

I live for that drum and bass break.

[@egebabus3423]

are you still alive for it?

[@mooaks1]

The girls singing are the Wilde Twins, Lee and Lynn from Indiana, they did a lot of Mickey Rooney "blond movies". They started with Ray Noble's orchestra, then went with Charlie Barnett. They were under contract with MGM for seven years. Hope this helps those who want to know who the beautiful blonds were. Thanks for posting

[@allengumm1157]

Ah, that's where I remember them--from an old MGM movie with a young Judy Garland, and they performed again with Bing Crosby.

[@sea80vicvan]

The bass and drum duet in the middle is classic. Developed by Bob Haggart and Ray Bauduc one evening when the rest of the Crosby band was late getting back on stage to start the next set and they improvised to keep the crowd entertained.

[@replyhere590]

Interesting, that's probably why it never sounds exactly the same in different performances.

[@larryshackley8074]

I have a friend who played with both of those guys (at different times). There is a video on KZbin with just the two of them doing the whole song.

[@ruthmuir1138]

Bob haggat and ray baudic

[@SteelguitarLane]

@@replyhere590 if I was at a jazz show and it sounded like the record, I'd be pissed. Hell, I feel that way about country, rock or rock bluegrass. The rides and fills should be extemporaneous.

[@allengumm1157]

Thanks for this background info, Jeff. You could tell it was a special interlude in the piece.

[@darrellmfume4020]

Those Big Bandleaders back in the day. were the Movie Stars of the Music Business.

[@HyaenusDominae]

Danny Antonucci sent me here.

[@StructuredAtoms]

I'm so utterly amazed by the drum and bass duet. Truely awesome! 5 stars!

[@genemason9692]

The whistling intro is amazing. I think Ray Bauduc was one of the top drummers, such rhythm!!!

[@margomurdock5265]

The family story goes... My uncle Bobby Haggart, my dads brother in law, wrote this about my dads brother JB. They, the Crosby band, played the Pump Room in Chicago, JB and friends came in from Winnetka and sat in the floor and wouldn’t stop talking, hence Big noise from Winnetka. My dad was working with the band at the time.

[@fredd6883]

Hey Margo, cool story, Always wondered if this song was in reference to Winnetka Il. and now I know, thanks!

[@high-defRJ]

Lived in Winnetka in the late 90s and into early 2000s and was playing trumpet/piano junior high jazz band when we were playing the tune, and the jazz band director at that time gave a story about it at one of our concerts. I don't remember about the specific people involved that became the title of the song, but it's almost the way I remember it: it was an incidental music created on the spot about the people who couldn't stop talking in the venue, who just happened to come from Winnetka, Illinois. If I remember correctly from the story, the whistle part of the song was to keep everyone quiet.

[@Lilactime402]

Bob Crosby was annoyed by the noise from one table, and to quiet the people he asked who they were. One man at table yelled back that they were the big noise from Winnetka. Winnetka is a lovely upscale village north of Chicago.

[@xbexp]

YOUR UNCLE IS BOB HAGGART?!

[@amycass9218]

I love this song! The Whistler in the beginning reminds me of my husband. He's the only one who whistles with his tongue like that guy. So sexy 😊

[@sailin1934]

ray bauduc was one of buddy rich's favourite drummers, being from new orleans, ray had the knack of playing a double stroke roll that even buddy envied and admired.

[@paulbrady4660]

What a classic. Drummers listen up. Old maybe but what energy.

[@ingwemalmsteen]

Watching "The Rockford Files" tonight...Jim made reference to the drums on "Big Noise from Winnetka"...had to track it down for a listen...excellent!!!

[@Lester2955]

Thank you for posting. Everyone has talent, no machines or computers to make them sound better. This is the real deal. Thank you for posting.

[@1001ruth]

Yes it was a true favorite in high school ... and once again, even now. Imagine dancing to it. And in truth we did. It was great.

[@hebneh]

My dad used to whistle the opening and closing portions of this song just the same way as they sound here.

[@1tchavey]

Winnetka, IL. Village / Town where Home Alone was filmed.

[@SwingStu]

It's a shame you have to buy music books just to learn one of The Bob cats amazing songs. Many of them have been lost to the secrets of time. One of the most under-rated ensembles of all time.

[@Domisol26]

Il y a 50 ans que je recherchais ça ! Un vinyle super usé, disparu dans un déménagement . MERCI !!!

[@PrepareTheLeft]

Love this song.

[@qliz]

Damn. So good.

[@blzmnky]

My favorite B. Crosby's number! Excellent, thanks for posting this great tune!

[@croonyerzoonyer]

Bob though, not Bing.

[@atlantic_love]

When I was in marching band back in the late 1980s this was one of our songs.

[@peterbeickert2767]

Excellent version. Love it

[@hep2jive]

I live near Winnetka illinois. THANKS! also SEVERE trumpet at 2:57 and that backdrop..what a back drop!

[@BernardProfitendieu]

Stickney ain't near Winnetka, nice try

[@jo-annbastings]

Whouh! I would have LOVED for a man to look at me the way Mr Crosby was looking at that cute chorus girl.

[@ricardoblanco5319]

Big band era. Had some rhythm.

[@frankszafranski1339]

Great stuff!

[@PJ-lp4lr]

Gotta love Ann Miller.

[@joejackson3668]

[@MelanieT-e3m]

This reminds me of ed ed and eddy my childhood

[@ATMABRAHM]

[@mattsmith20111]

incredible.

[@donnchaotoole227]

What a great sound.

[@CarlDuke]

Great clip. Bob Crosby had a great recording on this one.

[@bernardprice6294]

Sounds very much like his brother Bing.

[@lyricanakin844]

[@jakeyyt7945]

I'm trying to maintain the integrity of this thread while these filthy pirates try to steal more booty!

[@Pitagoriko17]

Wonderful, lovely music, lovely voices,...

[@robertschwartz4810]

This band was outrageously good. The movie is Revielle with Beverly.

[@Slurrps]

I don't care if no one knows who Bob was, he was the best Crosby

[@MrRJDB1969]

Ann Miller....another Doll !

[@MASF_]

ED! EDD! n EDDY! Blauhblaruryeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

[@tobiisgood]

i did that song in my 6th grade jazz band

[@sonyahannah]

When my Jewish, drugstore cowboy father from NY was courting my Arkansas-rooted mother in Reno, he would saunter through the casino where she was dealing "Twenty-one" whistling "Big Noise." Thanks for this trip down memory-of-memory lane!

[@Nic4111]

I'm in the marching band and we're using this as a closer to the halftime show, got curious what the song was and honestly I don't regret it (p.s. I play trombone)

[@danielcruz8347]

Cool. Marching band and you have been busy at football games!! Keep Blowing.. peace

[@TheBoggyMineshaft]

This song is in the 2012 to 13 grade 2 piano book.

[@TWX1138]

Huh. I've known the bass and drums duet version for 20 years, didn't know that there was a full big-band arrangement until now.

[@TheVixterD]

Oh yes. Oh yes. Oh yessss.

[@andybeckett4340]

The most important consequential and biggest city in the world is really Winnetka Illinois 😅

[@Charliecomet82]

Hello, Ed boy...

[@hep2jive]

Denise roma in evanston il is friends with the BIG NOISE!

[@D.N..]

[@rabokarabekian409]

The WILDNESS!! The SOPHISTICATION!!! Music Noir!!! WWW redeems itself with this one song.

[@MileyonDisney]

"...with vocal group..."? Not even going to mention that the two super-hot babes are Lee and Lyn Wilde, the Wilde Twins?

[@alexvalenzi]

Thank you so much!!! i was wandering just that!!

[@jonathanaron8864]

the Ed boys sent me here.

[@EarltheSquirrel73]

The role of Beverly was played by Ann Miller.

[@DiamondFist320]

I am a son of a shepherd

[@DRGAS339]

old school jazz

[@cameronsax]

Big doinks from winco

[@jjakiefte2165]

In George T Simon's book The Sights and Sounds of the Swing Era Decca artist Glen Gray complained about Decca never being able to press the hole bang in the middle of their records. The start of this clip amply demonstrates the veracity of that complaint.

[@FortunateJuice]

I've never heard the slow take of this tune. Kinda like it a lot.

[@andesite165]

Loved it! Where can I get the dvd and cd?

[@corn3lius458]

Ed Edd n Eddy let me here'❤️❤️❤️

[@airmojo]

I wonder who performed the whistling ? There should be more whistling in songs !

[@joss1307]

Ed Edd 'n' Eddy Intro♥ :3

[@Docentino1914]

at 1:54 a Famous Guitarist: Django Reinhardt plays a drum solo then a Drum-Bass duo. Both awesome! Still, I'm surprised to see Him here.

[@PJ-lp4lr]

I believe that is Ray Bauduc and yes, he is a dead ringer for Django.

[@SwingStu]

@hep2jive I want that back drop.

[@petegarrido5406]

👍👍👍

[@SwingStu]

Bob is totally a bachelor. You can tell.

[@sjjcws]

Teamwork!!

[@Flatworldfilms]

1:47 GTFO

[@DaveInLAS]

Wrong Winnetka, CA 🤦🏻‍♂️ in the western San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles brought me here 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@basilpeewit3350]

Trumpet solo by Yank Lawson after his sojourn with Tommy Dorsey.

[@pamalford8319]

Sounds just like his big brother, Bing.

[@hcdelamusique]

I love this shit

[@spazoidSTS]

[@WasItClutch]

[@karakoima]

Who talks in the beginning and put the record on?

[@benjamincox4211]

2:56

[@_Singularity_]

Is that plunger mute trumpet solo written down anywhere?

[@Kiwaloayo]

Singularity probably, but most people who I've talked to have played it by ear

[@Kirke182]

Bob and Ray--what a combo!

[@robertvonbargen8677]

Met Ray at a Winter Carnival concert at Middlebury College in 1957. He was playing with Jack Teagarden at the time.

[@lukehealy8584]

Is this version on spotify?

[@RambunctiousVA]

Makes me think of Bioshock , just like Artie's Nightmare

[@unusedwk2008]

What's this clip from? Like the intro bit.

[@kathiclough6894]

+Will Kennard Hi Will, It's from Reveille with Beverly starring Ann Miller. Great WWII flick filled with Big Band Swing sounds.

[@ravenshotlist]

big noise from beryan

[@KosaiAvonej]

This song sounds evil in that delicious sort of way.

[@michaelgamerdl202]

[@porknbeans1968]

Reveille with Beverly (1943)

[@michaelgamerdl202]

Bill A thanks

[@Lilactime402]

I think Bob sang better than brother Bing Crosby.

[@Lilactime402]

Winnetka is a lovely suburb of Chicago - northwest side.

[@jacobsimon]

Winnetka is one of the richest suburbs of America

[@ernestelilley]

Could any one name the singers. El 18

[@volvacations2186]

[@sandman5522]

[@joshuatyler6984]

[@RambunctiousVA]

Oh it's " big noise blew in from winnetka " I thought is was bluin or aomething

[@Kirke182]

+Tindle Banana No, Bluin is what they put in Final Touch--for extra whitening.

[@rtarbinar]

[@jacobsimon]

Bette Miller does a great version of this big band classic

[@CastrationPunishment]
