This is like a 1930's music video. A compilation of a few tunes by Woody Herman and his band. The tunes are bouncy and the band is very competent, and Woody has a decent voice. There are guest dancers swinging up a storm, and an audience full of very old people wearing extremely formal clothes, and they all look really out of place. They had such serious looks on their faces while the music was playing that it made me wonder why they clapped at the end of the songs. Just polite I guess. It looked like they enjoyed dressing up and going out a lot more than the music they were listening to. No lighters waving or mosh pit head-banging here.
This is all very nice for fans of the music of the era I'm sure, but as a guitar rock guy, the music didn't do much for me.
Your mileage will vary depending on musical taste.
