Synopsis: This is a excellent Swing
Dance documentary of the Lindy
Hop
aka Jitterbug.
It includes an oral history with interviews with original Whitey's
Lindy Hoppers Norma Miller and Frankie Manning as well as other
dancers and musicians including Dizzy Gillespie. Swing musicians
from the 1930s argue the derivation of the Jitterbug from the
Lindy Hop. It is only available through the Filmakers Library
as well as your local Library if available.
Cab
Calloway also had a song called "The Call of the Jitterbug"
that came out in 1933.
