Bunny Berigan in New York

[@wesm65]

A fantastic broadcast set! Bunny plays wonderfully, as always!

[@fromthesidelines]

"Ay Ay Ay" was also Bunny's final recording for Victor, on November 28, 1939.

Outstanding Berigan Orchestra performances at the Manhattan Center!! I wish all these Saturday Night Swing Club recordings could be reissued on CD using the best and latest Protools, Capstan and denoising software!

[@jakablaszlo701]

How sad that Alcohol ended his brilliant career he was among the best!

[@stevecarlson6462]

That is so true. I think Bunny was on his way to inventing Rock and Roll. I'm serious.

[@libertydoc]

Agree. And it could be the alcohol fueled his success. I know a lot of us are more creative when we’ve had a few drinks.

[@JakabLaszlo-d5h]

He was the best of the best Rip!

[@stevecarlson6462]

BB invented Rock n Roll and never knew about it. As evidenced in "Little Gate Special". This is where he departed from swing and into ROCK babies!

[@songanddanceman100]

Great broadcast!

Berigan always had a sentimental touch on his trumpet

[@thomaskirkpatrick1134]

Bunny!!!

[@stevecarlson6462]

Bunny was a "real gone cat"!!

[@danvanlandingham3854]

The announcer opens up giving the wrong tite:its "Ay,Ay,Ay" as recorded by Berigan on 28 Nov 1939.I've always wondered who did the original arrangement of that.

[@rpullman]

Radio was king in 1939.

[@stevecarlson6462]

So was Bunny!

[@berriganfan]

Danny Richards from Scranton PA ended up selling mens suits lived aroun the corner from me

[@danvanlandingham3854]

That's interesting.He also sang with Berigan's last band between 1941 and '42.I've got a battered ELITE 78 of Berigan's "Skylark" with a Richards vocal.He was also a trombonist.

[@berriganfan]

played with freddy bistoccis band later on on the trombone

[@danvanlandingham3854]

He was a great singer.Too bad he didn't go on to bigger and better things.Its funny he never recorded with Berigan when Bunny was at Victor.

[@rorydillon7572]

Dan VanLandingham Richards made a single recording with Bunny during his last Victor recording session

[@wanawara111]

Великолепный оркестр. К сожалению современные бенды в подмётки не годятся великим оркестрам 30-40-х годов.Джаз закончился с появленем Би-бопа и прочим выкрутасам Паркера с Гилеспи.г

[@daisyjane-kw6vh]

I love this! Near the end of this broadcast, is that Bunny saying "Hey! Come up here." Anyone know?

[@simontaylor2319]

I don't think the singers are up to the high standard of the Bunny's orchestra

[@doppiazeta963]

Thank you thank you, thank you very much.
