| Summary |
Jivin' in be-bop: "Dizzy Gillespie takes center stage and hosts an old time variety show from the 'Chitlin Circuit' captured in its entirety. Jivin' in be-bop features one smash show-stopping tune after another performed by Dizzy and his orchestra intermingled with hilarious vaudeville routines"--Packaging. |

Beware: "Ware College is about to close its doors forever because its endowment has run dry. A last minute appeal to famous alumni brings the college's plight to the attention of Louis Jordan. Jordan, known as King of the Jukebox, set things right by hounding the good-for-nothing grandson of Ware College's founder into spending his fortune on education rather than fast living"--Packaging. |
