GABRIEL FORMIGGINI: Kokolores - HOT - 1928

[@casparpolitman]

Lost this gem at auction also! I dont have big pockets unfortunately! I wonder whos buying them, since the older collectors almost have everything! And we in our 20s are really to be counted in 2 hands

@@casparpolitman The worst thing about a lot of my older record collector friends is that some don’t even appreciate what they have in their collection. Someone I know has a Carlo Minari disc and NEVER listens to it, he even forgot that he owned an Arthur Briggs one time. I think that if I don’t appreciate, care and listen to the record I’m not worthy of owning it.

@@DasJazzArchiv They can come any time in my shelves, a good cleaning and many hours of listening ahahaha

Pretty much how I do to. There are lots of unissued and forgotten music and film from the 20s & 30s out there, waiting to be digitalized.

@@JustABowlOfCherries Its my goal to make them digital

[@casparpolitman]

Will try to equalize this one

This must be none other than Arthur Briggs on trumpet?

[@DasJazzArchiv]

@@JustABowlOfCherries At this point of time he already left Germany. This was recorded around early summer of 1928. It does sound like him but it’s definitely Wilbur Curtz playing here. He only recorded ‘Amalie geht mit’m Gummikavalier’, ‘Heut ist die Käthe etepetete’ and ‘Wieso ist der Walter’. If only he stayed longer and made more records with the Savoy Syncop’s Band

Or was he still in Germany? Do you know when he left Germany for Paris?
