Here's a clip from the movie "Stormy Weather" (1943) featuring Cab Calloway and his orchestra performing "Jumpin Jive". After awhile they let the Nicholas Brothers jump in and lend their feet to the action. ==================== Note that must moderate the comments here now because of some bad apples. Sorry...

I love @ 2:18 when the brother on the right swings his leg over the head of the saxophonist. Too smooth!

They were self taught street dancers lol, so they probably would have been on So You Think You Can Dance. Jazz is one of those things that's only "classy" in retrospect. It was something that only blacks did but eventually became mainstream and inspired other genres. Although it's WAAAAAY better and infinitely more sophisticated, it was the hip hop of it's time in a lot of ways.

Simply the best entertainment that you could lend your ears and eyes to! Cab Calloway's into was inspiring and the Nicholas Brothers knocked my damn socks off! Come on, this is what YouTube was made for... to appreciate the greatness of the human being in moving form!

So You Think You Can Dance, take that! This is talent and class, not a bunch of street wannabe's doing flips to remade rap and hip hop.
