Hellzapoppin' (1941) - Slim Gaillard & Slam Stewart, the Harlem Congeroos
A wonderful swing sequence from the movie « Hellzapoppin' » (1941). The Harlem Congeroos (the group of swing dancers) also went under the name Whitey's Lindy Hoppers.
It had already been submitted to KZread several times, but never in a proper quality ; this version is as neat and clean as possible.

The quality of this video is only beaten out by this stupendous performance! You would be very hard pressed to find this much talent on any stage in 2023.
Slim was not only one of the greatest pianist ever but also one of the greatest guitarist and singer as well.
The best Lindy-Hop scene ever filmed and the only halfway sane sequence in the completely insane movie 'Hellzapoppin'.
Slim was so hip, he had difficulty seeing over his pelvis. And Slim was so cool, you could store a side of beef in him for a month.
awesome share. should be required to be seen by all children in school

So much talent in this video. Slim long partnered with Slam Stewart, one of the great jazz bassists. I had the opportunity to mix sound at the Chicago Jazz Festival in the '80s when Slam was a feature. I also got to meet him, introduced by the fine Chicago bassist John Bany. They were friends. Slam had the strongest, fullest bass sound I've ever heard, and Ray Brown was a close second. Slim was a great entertainer, imaginative, very funny. The dancers were also killer.
absolutely incredible.
So sad these talented musicians got ripped off by record companies. There kids, grand kids and great grand kids could have been doing pretty well and add so much wealth and talent to the USA compared to what we have today!

The record biz was microscopic back then. Bing and "White Christmas" sold a lot but that was a rarity of the 40s.
Great superbe bravo
Incredible musicianship and incredible dancing! Whew! I don't think that anybody these days could compete with this amazing talent! :-D

Watch closely, and you’ll see spotters cleverly worked into the more dangerous stunts.

Does anyone know who the other musicians were? They were all hard hitters.
