1930, Ted Weems Orch. Play That Hot Guitar, Panhandle Pete, I lost My Gal Again, Jig Time, HD 78rpm

[@Rpaulbroker]

These songs where written decades before I was born, but what great stuff. Too bad young people don't listen to this era of music.

My Baby just cares for me 💞

[@rosperry6089]

I used to have some tapes of Ted Weems that I'd made from radio back in the 80's but this collection is superb. The Weems Band reminds me of the Harry Roy English group. Greetings from Australia. Does anyone love to watch Shaye Kohn and Tuba Skinny who keep the 'spirit alive'. My 6 year old grand son loves Hot Jazz & the Nicholas Bros

[@zuzannawisniewska4464]

Few people know that Weems' work in the field of music was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame....from Chicago.

[@Prozoot]

....thanks -- I didn't know that!

[@friend5998]

"Heartaches," my favorite since 1947. Elmo Tanner did the whistle. Still play it.

[@zuzannawisniewska4464]

I'ts wonderful! Amazing choice. Such a great band, my most favorite bands from the 20's and 30's.

Thank you.

Ted Weems remains one of my most favorite bands of the 1920s and 1930s; there’s so much more of a great musical legacy Ted left other than his popularization of Perry Como.

[@Prozoot]

...thanks -- I agree!

[@darkgreenambulance]

The name was new to me, I`m ashamed to say. The arrangements are lovely - do you know if he did his own or did he have a "resident"/regular one? Just think - this was the "pop" music of the day! But look at what we are left with today (!!!) - with very few exceptions.

[@loumulkern2724]

True, but Perry Como was no slouch either...amazing singer really...

[@maxlinder5262]

Parker Gibbs reminds me of Cliff Edwards.....but I do like Art Jarrett's voice ..🎶😊..love " Little Joe " ... 😊 FUN.....very hyper music 🎵...

[@Hey_its_Koda]

I love this music. I was born in the 1980s. Takes me to another world and time. I love WW2 airplanes. Im beginning to think maybe i had a previous life?

[@Rpaulbroker]

Hey I feel the same, this stuff was produced decades before I was born but love it ! Kids today are missing out a lot !

[@richardsferlazza7071]

Best version of Egyptian Ella l ever heard by Ted Weems Orchestra!

[@RatPfink66]

From "Out of the Night" comes Prozoot with a program of Ted Weems' favorites in sparkling monaural fidelity. I'm settled in with an adult beverage and ready to hear this great orchestra in new dimensions of old sound. Thanks as ever old man! New dimension number one might be Country Washburne's tuba. Besides Min Leibrook in his Eddy Duchin days, was there ever another purveyor of grunt iron with such a preternaturally light touch and sure rhythm? He barely seems to attack the note yet he is always right on top of it - and on tuba that means feeling the beat _just_ an eenchy bit ahead, and feeling _just_ when to decay the note so it keeps its rhythmic intensity. Number two is Harry Turner on trombone. He may not have had lots of hot solos, what with Dudley Fosdick on mellophone beside him. But the engineering makes clear when Harry's playing and when Dud is, and turns out Harry was a more than capable player, not the chair filler you might have thought. He gets ballad spots, obbligati and a few hot breaks, and he's the low brass section along with Country when required. Number three, an unheard item in the Weems discography. _Don't Be Mad At Me_ (36:49), a brisk ballad by Walter Donaldson, was recorded Oct. 5, 1931, with a not quite danceable intro. (Is it 2 bars in five, or two-three-two-three?) Maybe that's why RCA never issued it. That or Parker Gibbs' audible breathing in between phrases.

Thanks very much.

Wonderful! Such a great band, and my first time hearing ""Don't Be Mad At Me" and "Play That Hot Guitar" - must keep an eye for those discs. Many thanks for a great line-up of superb transfers!

Simply WONDERFUL (as usual)..Fantastic collection and perfect sound. What could be Better? Greetings from Italy

[@Prozoot]

....grazie per le gentili parole. Sono così felice di sapere che ti stai godendo le melodie.

Help! I can’t stop playing THAT’S WHAT I LIKE ABOUT YOU. A song title that could also be the answer to the question: how do jazz fans feel about Prozoot’s glorious posts?

[@Prozoot]

....thanks for the kind words. Are you aware of the other song called THAT'S WHAT I LIKE ABOUT YOU ? That I like even better -- with a great Boswell Sisters vocal? kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJ22gXeDgJipiKc

Prozoot is my go to guy for the best selection of the music I love to hear.

@@richardsferlazza7071 ....thank you!

[@docmurph8681]

I waited for KZbin to season the video and it’s wonderful! These Weems Victors are so well recorded and transferred it feels like I have a seat right in front of the band! I suspect the discs are in superb condition. Thanks again as always for a super presentation.

[@Prozoot]

....glad you waited -- these always sound better on the second day. Just like homemade soup tastes better on the day after!

[@mykeromero7075]

I never heard the non-vocal version of Morning Comes Around. Just when I thought the vocal version could not be beat !!!!!!!!!!

[@stephenandrews2957]

What joy - one of my favourite bands, beautifully recorded (as always!), and best of all, lots of tracks that I hadn't heard before! Such a swinging band, playing Joe Haymes superb and complex arrangements impeccably. Many thanks, Prozoot!

[@Prozoot]

....glad to hear you are enjoying!

[@TWELS20]

Many similarities between the musical sounds in these records and the records that the Haymes Band made in 1932.

[@djszabo418]

@@TWELS20 I think Haymes had been an arranger for Weems prior to starting his own band.

[@JonathanHolmesjazz]

There's a tribute to Ted Weems at this year's Whitley Bay Classic Jazz Party. He certainly led a good band, and I do enjoy Parker Gibbs' vocals

[@Prozoot]

....thanks for tuning in, Jonathan -- more to come!

[@flippatmedbernt]

Om deeply thankful to Proozot - thanks for this and other selections of Weems band! Was it always Joe Haymes making the arrangements? The energy and freshness and the amazing timing of the band!!! Underrated - in anyway in Sweden - when I talk to swingfreaks they haven’t heard of weems

[@Prozoot]

....thanks so much for the kind words -- happy to know I am able to share the wealth with our friends in Sweden!

[@darkgreenambulance]

What a joy to have this presentation - what a perfect band - all wonderful musicians - and what wonderful quality! It shows how good these recordings were at source - when heard before being damaged by the heavy pick-ups with steel needles in use back then. These records must have been in prestine condition when the transfers were made. The engineers certainly knew their stuff back in those days - perfect balancing! I had to put this in as I feel that this style of music is so neglected. Angel Radio, situated on the Isle of Wight DOES play quite a lot of dance band music, I`m pleased to say. However, being a local station, the power is restricted and soon fades with any distance - and sometimes by a French station.

[@Prozoot]

it's hard to look like a mess in an ice cream suit and spectator shoes, alongside others dressed the same. of course it helps to be a young hot shot musician.

HOT JAZZ !!! Still some copying of Bix and Tram here : )

[@RudySalazar-bb6zf]

Better

[@jlassie]

I think I can see why 'Don't Be Mad At Me' never made it to press - at times, it stretches a little too far outside Gibbs' normal vocal range. Probably should have given it to Wes Vaughan instead.
