CHARLESTON - Paul Whiteman Orchestra

[@j.w.2391]

Big fan of early Jazz...so glad the Video at least showed a few pics of the True Originators of this Iconic American Composition (James P. Johnson) and Dance (from the Revue Runnin' Wild, 1923). Without it, we'd probably be still doing the Minuet.

Very beautiful music for dancing in this 2024

Incredible clarity for a 1925 recording!

[@j.w.2391]

Because 1925 was the year the Electronic Recording Process was introduced. Prior to that it was Acoustic recordings.

This is the RARE non scat take !

[@eselmartillo118]

quick question, was this take issued? i really like this version more than the scat take, and it would be great to have it

[@bixlives]

@@eselmartillo118 no--this alternate "non scat" take was never issued in the 1920s. It was a alternate {unissued) take that was in the Victor vaults for years and was issued on a CD for the 1st time !

@@bixlives ahh dang it, its better than the issued copy

Very nice i love paul whitemans music

[@eugenioscano5506]

best version EVER

[@gymakos]

The King could not miss this one !!!!of course the sound output of this particular arraingment is not up to the standards of other tunes that this band played during the mid twenties,but nevertheless it's rhythmic and fun... thanks for sharing

Quindi questa incisione del Charleston di Paul Whiteman senza scat è stata rilasciata da la voce del padrone in Italia? Ho sempre pensato che l’unica versione stampata su 78 giri fosse quella americana della Victor con appunto, lo scat eseguito da Whiteman stesso. Complimenti per la restaurazione, sembra di stare davanti all’orchestra!

No, non fu mai pubblicata. Il master è stato in archivio per più di 70 anni e fu scoperto da Vince Giordano nei primi anni 2000.
