Banu sings songs from the RKO films of Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers.
There was magic in the air when Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers made nine musicals together in the 1930s...These films were very much products of the 1930s, yet they seem timeless to fans who still cherish them today. What's more, the songs, created especially for Astaire and Rogers by some of the greatest composers and lyricists of the 20th century, have had a life of their own and show no signs of fading into obscurity... As Banu Gibson reaffirms in this lively collection, almost all of these compositions stand on their own quite apart from the movies that brought them into existence. Banu has a great simpatico with music of this period and its clear that she loves these tunes....This album features an all-star lineup of talented musicians who capture the energy and ebullience of the Astaire-Rogers songs right alongside the star vocalist.

Banu Gibson
Active Decades: '70s, '80s, '90s and '00s
Born: Oct 24, 1947 in Dayton, OH
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Classic Jazz, Dixieland Revival
During an era when most female singers who interpret music from the 1920s come across as dated "red hot mamas," camp, or satirical, Banu Gibson practically stands alone. She performs music from the 1920s and '30s creatively, but within the boundaries of the idiom, giving fresh life and excitement to forgotten tunes and swinging hard with her New Orleans Hot Jazz Orchestra. Growing up in Hollywood, FL, Gibson was trained as a dancer although she studied voice as a child with an opera singer. She gained early experience playing in a Miami club opposite Phil Napoleon (1967-1968), toured with Your Father's Mustache (1969-1972), and appearing at Disneyland in the Class of '27 (1972-78). She moved to New Orleans in 1973, commuting to Los Angeles and working in New Orleans doing choreography and directing. Gibson learned how to play rhythm banjo and on April 1, 1981, put together her six-piece band, which improved steadily throughout the 1980s and became a popular attraction at traditional jazz festivals. Although Banu Gibson has recorded for World, Jazzology, and Stomp Off, her most rewarding recordings are for her own Swing Out label and those rank with the top classic jazz of the era.
