"Jumpin' at the Woodside" is a song first recorded in 1938 by the Count Basie Orchestra, and considered one of the band's signature tunes. This animated music video, directed by Frank Gryner (www.frankgryner.com/) was inspired by and is centered around the iconic and one of many "battle of the bands" at the Savoy Ballroom in Harlem, NY. On this particular date in 1938 Count Basie took his "up and coming" bluesy big band into the Savoy Ballroom to challenge and face off against drummer Chick Webb and his big band who were regulars at the Savoy. The video creatively pays homage to and highlights this historic jazz event by telling the story of rival dogs, unleashed into 1930's era Harlem, racing to get to the Savoy to see the epic battle of the bands. The dogs rip through the town that is filled with swing centric references in a lock-step with the iconic tune.

Excellent and great animation, too.

Nicely done! Only thing I would change is use Jazz Cats instead of dogs..., Although that means the HMV shot would not have worked. Well done.
