The Joint Is Jumpin' Movie Review 2000

Once-over-lightly documentary is aimed at young fans who have just discovered the joys of swing music and swing dancing. It's a production of the Canadian government and the Bravo cable channel so it sticks close to the mainstream, and is focused more on current practitioners--Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Brian Setzer Orchestra--than the original creators--Duke, Count, Benny, and so many more.
