...piano and took sax lessons from a local musician. Gilbert upped her national profile in 1937, when her all-girl band opened the Second Hollywood Swing Concert at Los Angeles' storied Palomar Ballroom, sharing billing with fellow bandleaders Benny Goodman and Louis Prima.

Her commentary cemented her reputation as an influential advocate for women players, despite the unfortunate headline provided by Down Beat editors: HOW CAN YOU BLOW A HORN WITH A BRASSIERE...

But the un-remixed album will make your toes curl up with delight. Even if you?...
...boys a reputation as innovative video auteurs. The music video for their newest single, “Do What You Want,” is more of the same in many ways, and a great departure in others. It goes without saying that the antics that made the band famous remain a constant. Greater exposure—and the increased budget that have surely accompanied such fame—has forced a marked departure from the do-it-yourself ethos of OK Go’s former videos.
