An amateur video of jazz singer Pinky Winters at one of her five performances in Tokyo, Japan 12/06. From a late afternoon gig at the intime Cafe Albert, operated in honor of F. Albert Sinatra. Pinky is accompanied by Kiichi Futamura on piano. Two days later, she recorded a live album at the TUC Club to be released 4/07 on SSJ Records. http://people-vs-drc hilledair.blogspot.c om/
The late jazz vocalist Hartman apparently made many TV appearances on foreign soil but not so many in his home country. Here is one, from regional TV, with the trio of Loonis McGlohon, who also wrote both songs.

Blossom Dearie's voice, critic Whitney Balliett once wrote, would scarcely reach the second story of a doll house. But that has never stopped her from swinging like mad. http://people-vs-drc hilledair.blogspot.c om/
Accompanied by only Don Bagley on bass, Julie sings Lonesome Road. Doubtful she could swing any harder with the entire Basie band backing her up. http://people-vs-drc hilledair.blogspot.c om/
Tim Reid hosts segment on the Queen of the Trumpet. With Fayard Nicholas, Bobby Short and Bill Reed. Sound is out of sync but I guess you'll still "get it."
Singer Barbara Lea reminisces with Japanese singer-actress Nobuko Miyamoto, about the legendary singer Lee Wiley. From a Japanese TV docu about the visit of Miyamoto (star of "A Taxing Woman") to the U.S. in search of "her" Lee Wiley.
Circa 1937 & '52. Michael Feinstein and Liza Minnelli are working on a KT tribute album. This is their subject in action! http://people-vs-drc hilledair.blogspot.c om/
Musical sequence from the great "Tutti Frutti Ice Cream" episode of Ozu---I mean---"Ozzie and Harriet." (And if you listen VERY carefully, you'll probably detect the pedal steel guitar artistry of Alvino Rey.)
Singer Black finally had his time in the sun---in Japan---when his "lost" recording, "Down in the Depths" was released to wide acclaim there in 2005. Here he is with employer, Krupa, in a short subject from more than a half-century earlier. Sorry the quality isn't better, but it's the only copy I could find. http://people-vs-drc hilledair.blogspot.c om/
If you ask me (no one has), the "clever" and attractive daughter of jazz singer Pinky Winters should have her own tv show. Dad is tenor sax master Bob Hardaway, grandpa helped discover Bugs Bunny. Some, lineage, hunh? And she sings, too!
There is no "Honey Swanson." What you have here is the moving image of Virginia Mayo; the ghostesSING of the terrific but nonetheless obscure Jeri Sullivan, backed by the Page Cavanaugh trio from a certain movie of the late 1940s (you do the "math"). The song is "Daddy-O" by the wonderful team of Don Raye and Gene De Paul. http://people-vs-drc hilledair.blogspot.c om/
