I love watching old movie shorts about jazz bands, and this one was very charming. I hope you'll like it too!
A little background on Mr. Savitt himself:
Jan Savitt (born Jacob Savetnick in 1907, in what is now Shumsk, Ukraine) was a very talented musician, having previously performed in Leopold Stokowski's orchestra as a violinist; he later pursued a successful career as a bandleader, and Jan Savitt & His Top Hatters became the staff orchestra at Philadelphia's NBC affiliate (KYW/NBC) in 1938. Among the singers who performed with Savitt's band was George "Bon Bon" Tunnell, one of the first African-American singers to perform with a white band (Tunnell later pursued his own solo career; among the songs he recorded was a version of "I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire").
Very sadly, Jan Savitt suffered a cerebral hemorrhage while traveling to a Sacramento concert with his orchestra and died aged 41 - just two years after this film was made. He was survived by his wife, Barbara Ann Stillwell, and two daughters (one of whom, Jo Ann, later married into the Douglas family; her husband was Kirk Douglas' son Joel, and they lived in Clark Gable and Carole Lombard's former residence in Palm Springs, CA until Jo Ann's death in 2013).
I only discovered Jan Savitt and his band recently, and was very sad to see that he'd passed away at such a young age. He had an incredible musical talent and I wish we'd been able to see and hear more of it before his passing!

"Sports Illustrated Book of Horseback Riding", 1959. Written by Gordon S. Wright and Alice Higgins, illustrations by Sam Savitt
This book is kind of crazy, 60 years later:
Sports Illustrated doing something related to horses that isn't horse racing?
They didn't just get anyone to write it, they got Gordon S. Wright, who taught more Medal and Maclay Finals winners than anyone else.
They didn't just get anyone to illustrate it, they got the famous Sam Savitt
I suppose I just associate SI now with football and swimsuit models. It's not the sort of thing I could see them creating today (although, to be fair, I also haven't even looked at an issue of SI in years).

I'm Glad You Are Casually Interested in Why I Was an Hour Late /
or Take Your Fucking Hands Off My Throat // Lynne Savitt
You were right my mountain of morality
I have to admit
I was in Port Authority
twirling tassled tits
For an audience of hundreds that
happened to include
Four Hell's Angels
Two Black Panthers
Seven bums that were stewed.
I did my show
leopard G string on
And when my audience
was almost gone
My leather clad phantom
took me away
On his beautiful lightning BSA
He was an expert
knew what to do
We won a Silver Cup
in the power shift screw
He beat me up
and threw me out
Then I deflowered two priests
and three boy scouts
The cigarettes you found in
the back seat
Belong to three sailors
I happened to eat
Don't tell me, Darling,
that it's crude
You know I just adore seafood!
Isn't it amazing?
my energetic power?
I did those things
in just one hour!
You'd like to believe it
my adorable mate
Not that I dropped Chuck at the subway
and class let out late
This is a love poem
of sorts, my dear.
Because I am telling you
what you wanted to hear.

Jan Savitt And His Top Hatters Featuring Bon Bon

We have all noticed that many musicians have a variety of usages for cover songs in terms of their careers, there is really no set of rules on how to apply them. I mean, I'm sure Chubby Checker didn't plan his cover of Hank Ballard's tune would make him an important figure in the early 60's rock. Then again, I do ask myself how he felt about the context we speak of now. We tend to forget these early 60's musicians pushed the envelope a lot, because we are told about that. However, can we feel this? I can say you can notice in the vigor these compositions have. Chubby Checker, since we are talking about his version of a piece by Ballard, relishes the opportunity to do something twisty. I know, I know, I should brush up my stand up comedy.

Judge sets October trial for Musk-Twitter takeover dispute | Business News
Elon Musk lost a fight to delay Twitter’s lawsuit against him as a Delaware judge on Tuesday set an October trial, citing the “cloud of uncertainty” over the social media company after the billionaire backed out of a deal to buy it.
“Delay threatens irreparable harm,” said Chancellor Kathaleen St. Jude McCormick, the head judge of Delaware’s Court of Chancery, which handles many high-profile…
