Love this hot lowdown tune and stellar jazz bsnd! Your jungle costume looks right out of Harlems famous Cotton Club! Stunning ! Thankyou so much!

Great interview about a "King of Jazz" musician in the Paul Whiteman orchestra in 1929. How exciting those days must have been, filming that all color talkie! I wonder if Larry got his own new Ford roadster like all the regular band musicians got from the LA car dealer Don Lee?! I know Joe Venuti and Bing got theirs. I once saw a photo of Paul Whiteman next to his new gifted car, which I believe was a big 1929 Lincoln sedan. I also heard that while KOJ story changes were being made on the script, Universal had Whiteman play & record his book of tunes for their film use. After the King of Jazz, a few of these tunes by Whitemans band I assume made it into a film called "What Men Want", starring Ben Lyon and Barbara Kent. ( in one extended wild dance party scene) I have a copy. It's highly possible this trombonist Collins is heard in this talkie also, as he was present for the Universal pre-KOJ recordings of the band that I believe were used in that film!! . I also believe Whitemans band recorded their big 1928 concert work," Metropolis" which Victor also recorded on two 12 inch Victors, and Universal used that song to open the first reel of their first million dollar talkie called "Broadway" late in 1929 starring Glenn Tryon and Myrna Kennedy. It is possible that the films song,"Broadway" was also played by Whiteman on the soundtrack, though on film, you see Gus Arnheims band playing in the niteclub! Also heard is a marvelous modernistic piano solo I believe was done by Whiteman's pianist, Roy Bargy. (who plays the Rhapsody in Blue in the King of Jazz). These are other films that I believe used Paul Whiteman orchestra music besides the King of Jazz! Paul Whiteman arrived at Universal Studio while Director Paul Frejos was converting his silent film of "Broadway" to sound, and needed music for it! Paul Frejos then became the first Director of "King of Jazz", expecting to use the same sets! The miniature Broadway skyscrapers that the chorus girls dance through in King Of Jazz were actually built & used before in the opening reel of "Broadway!" That set was used in both talkies. So Whiteman must have been working intimately with director Frejos to finish up Broadway's soundtrack, during the long delays waiting for a new script format for King of Jazz. Both films appear to have overlapping production schedules at Universal. The film "What Men Want" came later in 1930 and apparently only used left over songs that Whiteman had previously recorded for the "King of Jazz" on Photophone sound film. Thanks for sharing this great interview!

Omg! This has to be the hottest version of this 1929 Broadway show tune I've ever heard! Joyful to listen to the jazz panic this hot band acheives! This is what its all about! JAZz! ❤ I will gladly forgive the vocalist for learning the lyrics wrong. Should be "I can see the way this ENDS". Not "goes!"

Swell jazzy take of that Universal Talkie Hit from the 1930 "King of Jazz" By the way, the new Criterion film restoration looks amazing! Love this hot version and orchestra! Thanks for sharing!

Great to hear this old barn burner tune played by Paul Whiteman! Tiger Rag was a favorite closer for dance bands back then. Thanks for the sharing this one of a kind home radio recording from around 1931...?! Grand.

Bless you for sharing this one of a kind home recording off the air. Earliest radio tune I've heard of Paul Whitemans band!! A great listen! Everyone wishes to hear the 1929 Old Gold cigarette sponsored show starring Paul Whiteman, with Bix from New York! I dont think recordings survive of that show at all. Wonderful that this recording has survived from 1931! Thanks for sharing!

Thankyou for this delicious glimpse into the ballroom experience of 1929. A hot dance band with a swell flapper vocalist! A rare treat indeed! Sounds as if it could have been recorded in some big city ballroom full of the dancing public on a typical Saturday night in 1929! Swell disc. I hope you have uploaded more of this hot band! I really like it! 🤩

Thankyou for this rare jazz age gem. I've found this right before X- Mas 2024. Would like to tip you for all the jazz music enjoyment I've gotten from your swell channel. Please provide a PayPal email addy or similar on your home page. Till then thankyou and happy holidays!

My husband had a wonderful singing voice and sang many songs. Back in the '40s, his singing would sometimes earn him two loaves of bread. He never had to apologize for anything; among his favorites were this song and Eddie Arnold's "Bouquet of Roses," which he often sang to me...that's the way to win a heart. 💕💞💙💜♾ My beloved passed away this year. We were both great fans of Josephine Baker, and I regret that he didn't get to see this. Perhaps he's met her in heaven.

How are you swell jazz kids doing? Enjoy your channels so much.

Danny Polo on clarinet!

Man I need that outfit, just the right color combination.

This is a quite early example of swinging string bass on a dance record. Los Angeles-based band that could outswing most of the similar groups country-wide!

Intro lyrics: Is this my sentence? A life of repentance, for breaking a heart that was true? No melancholy because of my folly. A voice in my soul cries for you.

Since the start of COVID, I've been working up ~80% songs 1920s-Elvis, mean 1937, 42 Fats songs. I have 2 subprojects: Fats, and songs w intros. So this will go in both. Has anybody transcribed the lyrics to the intro? If not, I will do so & share.

... and Maurice Bercov on clarinet (who plays on the non Tesch take of Sister Kate by Charlie Pierce), and fine Jess Stacy. Love Muggsy on this one

Wow

Yes, I am also here because of The Great Gatsby.

Ya know, for all his time in saloons and clubs he was never a drinker and really was a quite kinda hearted man

PURE GENIUS

W song

Great to hear this late acoustical foxtrot from Harmony and using that wonderfully piercing voice of Irving Kaufman to compete with the electric labels! Very peppy tune, this! Thanks for posting!

Awesome to hear Joe Saunders doing his stuff in 1929 for radio audiences, then Carleton follows up! This is a real treat for Coon Saunders fans! Thankyou for posting. Love your channel! 🎉

I wish I had been there.

I’ve been in love with Gershwin’s music since I first heard the Rhapsody in my first year of high school in 1972. A real original; his music is like no one else’s. It’s like Gershwin’s.

What's up with all the girly pictures.

Fun 20's sound!

One of my absolute favorites from his catalog.... sounds almost Zappa-ish.

Íosa Críost na bhFlaitheas !!

I love this song , but the photo of her is from "Thousands Sing" 1933

Very nice version! You can dance to it!

bro eubie is THE GOAT

THE COCOANUTS opened on Broadway in 1925 and “Monkey Doodle Doo” was a minor hit from the stage show before it was made into a movie.

Thank you for sharing this. 🎶🌹🎶

Sax rules.

legend

❤Gracias Padre Celestial ❤❤

This can’t be the original? Is it? Wow! No?

The year is 1946 according to Discogs.

Very nice indeed but "High Tension" is their only real jazz recording from the 1920's.

What is the original source of this extract ?

Tunesters, what a name.

thanks

This was recorded on an organ that has the capability to play 88 note piano rolls. They worked to play the organ in the way Fats would (in the way they deployed certain stops). This is the hand- played roll recording Fats made for the QRS company.. So this was not originally an organ recording.

Tema espectacular que pianoll Que ritmo!!
