wonderful sound guys !!

[@pushpa2424]

Fantastic! 5 stars

[@motstraumen]

well done, I like the tempo!!!

[@Sactreats]

I like it when bands play this song a little bit slower. Not always, of course, because it takes a certain finesse to make it sound good at a medium tempo rather than fast, but they've got it down here. I also love the bass saxophone.

[@Biber0315]

Initially I thought so too, but they pull it off well. Nice and laid back.

U just can't beat the sound of a 78 on a Victrola. It's, as U know, exactly what parlor parties (which couldn't afford a band) heard. Makes you feel as if you've traveled back into time & wonder when the party will begin. I've many digitized 78 recordings on CD. U just don't get the feel of the era as U do when played on a vintage apparatus. Try it; I think U'll find an astounding difference. I've a 1920's studio model.

About the tempo, here it is just right. It's a Ramble - not a race! Great !

It's a pity that the ragtime and jazz bands from the years 20s thru 40s had not sounded so in 78s, for lack of digital technology. This is the sound that those bands should have been in those discs.

Hello Limon276. Quoting from Avid Tech, "78 RPM recordings generally require quite extensive multi-pass filtering treatment and even scratch and pop reduction by hand. We cannot guarantee an outstanding result however our methods produce the best possible transfer." The filtered/digitizing of 78 recordings (circa the 21st Century) I harkened to, sound all too clean for my liking. Again, you don't get that great pop, sizzle, scratchy sound as found on a Victrola played on authentic 78s.

Mostly played faster,sometimes played like this! Certainly well performed for this video, maybe between some glasses of good polish beer? And nice sound from the bass-saxophone!

[@krakus777]

That's really simple: this guy plays for 24 years. Keep practice next 20 years. Your sucsess guaranteed!
