“A tribute to the Swing Era evoked by skillful intercutting of rare material examining the varying fortunes of five ex-Basie sidemen. It looks at the years between 1930 and 1945 when Swing was in its heyday. Features a large number of artists including: the Count Basie Band, Buddy Tate, Earle Warren, Buck Clayton and Gene Krupa.” - BFI
