Where The Blues Was Born

Our music selection this week is a scene from the 1947 movie “New Orleans”. Watch as the unforgettable Luis Armstrong introduces members of his band in the movie’s fictional night club – a Who’s Who of classic jazz greats all in one room. Visible (but not heard) in this scene is also jazz singer Billie Holiday. Follow the link to our YouTube Channel. Please be sure the read the video description – and enjoy!

What’s “Catchy Tunes?”

Dating and music go hand in hand. We miss going out to live events, and so we’re doing the next best thing we can: listening to treasures of recorded music together.

Every weekend, Catch is introducing a track of music meaningful to members of our team, and we named our playlist “Catchy Tunes“.

Given the current events, we thought it appropriate launch the video series with a few selections of African American musicians whose individual contributions to classic jazz and blues – genres we love – are unparalleled and fundamental.
