I know the topic of Detroit Jitting has been brought up a few times in older threads and it seems appropriate to bring it up again. A local artist, Haleem Rasul, has been working on a documentary about a Detroit dance group known as "Tracy McGhee and the Jitterbugs" that pioneered the Jit in the 1970s. Haleem will be having a rough-cut screening this Friday at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History. Does anyone have any memories of this group?
Check out the trailer.
