I feel like poor Bob lived in his dear brother's shadow. The man was underrated from what I can gather.

[@lilchwis4423]

He had actually some great hits back in the day. He never went for the "star" status that his brother had. Bob was happy doing what he did, and Bing was happy with what he did :)

He even had a song in movie about being in his brother showed.

I saw Bob Crosby and the Bobcats back in the early 1960s at "Lennies on the Turnpike" in Peabody, MA A great Dixieland band and a great little club.

[@luhatusebner88]

why is it so hard to find any information about the Bob Cats online? This is such a magnificent concert that I'm watching purely by accident...

[@alenschi2923]

Luhatus Ebner Infact. He is my favorite jazz player but i know nothing about he

[@Firefly1026]

Weren’t really as popular as the other groups during the swing era.

[@runningwild1055]

Nice finale when all the cats joined in

[@timothymorgereth1438]

Lest we not forget the great guitarist Nappy Lamare...

[@farmerjbird]

wow, Eddie can sure make that tenor sax sing! great music!!!

[@bblegacy]

Eddie Miller was also a great clarinet player, maybe not surprising since he was from New Orleans. But anyway he played the low register clarinet solo in the middle chorus on the Crosby band's famous record of South Rampart Street Parade in 1937...

note to self: need to remaster the audio on this to clean up the tape hiss a little
