The Swing Era
Format: Music Documentary
Distributed By: Planet Blue Pictures US
About:
A note of explanation for the unfamiliar: the swing school of jazz music connotes several stylistic tropes, including the use of high-hat cymbals and the string bass, the adoption of numerous "swing eighths," and in general, a looser, more relaxed rhythm overall. On a historical level, the segue into swing commenced in the 1920s with such performers as Louis Armstrong, and remained both popular and prevalent - the "dominant mode" of jazz interpretation - well into the 1940s. Given the fact that swing was generally played by ten musicians or more, it was also known as the Big Band Era. This ambitious music history documentary examines the evolution of swing over time, as performed by such icons as Count Basie, Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Erskine Hawkins and Cab Calloway.

About:
The Non-Stop Luna Park Marathon | Sydney 12th January 1979 Tiny Tim’s live show at Luna Park is an outstanding performance from the weirdly wonderful music legend Tiny Tim, filmed by pop-artist Martin Sharp. The film titled ‘Tiny Tim’s Non-Stop Luna Park Marathon’ is now available to rent or purchase from Planet Blue Pictures! The legendary Tiny Tim sang for two hours and seventeen minutes nonstop on a beautiful summer's night, in the Floating Palais at Luna Park on Sydney harbor 12th January 1979. This spectacular was produced by legendary Australian artist Martin Sharp. Tiny Tim is a mastermind of show business and a master of popular songs. He was an iconic American singer highly acclaimed for his bizarre renditions of contemporary songs in the 1960s, and known for his long hair and white make-up. He was generally considered a one-hit wonder for his song Tiptoe through the Tulips. Tiny believed that the world wasn’t ready to see him as any more than a freak. This is where Martin Sharp played an important role for shaping Tiny Tim into the iconic legend he is today, and shaping the iconic Luna Park performance. Tim says, “I know Mr. Sharp believes in me so much – and I praise the Lord for that – and maybe he’s made a cult movie which at the very least will survive as a museum piece. But Mr. Sharp, I think, is interested more than ever in my thoughts on this world and its cataclysmic times, on my fundamentalist spiritual attitudes.”
