Lynn Albritton - Dispossessed Blues (1943) | Soundies Harlem Dancers

"Dispossessed Blues" is one of three boogie woogie instrumental films with dance made by pianist Lynn Albritton in 1943. Little is known about her as she never made any recordings.
There is a nice write up of the Soundies Films directed by William Forest Crouch here: www.weirdwildrealm.com/f-black...
and you can witness her other two films on the Department of Afro-American Research KZbin Channel: / blaxploitationpride

She didn't look at the piano once! Eyes fixed on the camera as her hands traversed the whole piano. Incredible syncopations and brilliant improvisation. And some great dancing too. Very classy.
