What I love about #MarieBryant is her energy and personality. When performing she seems in the moment, inviting the audience along. Dubbed “one of the world’s greatest dancers” by Ellington, the clip I used for my above #BHM video edit is from CALLOWAY BOOGIE (featured in BASIN STREET REVUE (1956)).

🎧 Everywhere is feeding me Duke Ellington. Here's a small bite starring the delicious and adorable #PaulWhite and #MarieBryant singing and dancing in the early Soundie film, "Bli-Blip" with music by #DukeEllington & His Orchestra from 1942. Via the excellent www.daaracarchive.org #JazzSky
