Yiddishe Charleston - Nathan Glantz Orch. - 1926

[@lunamobile123]

Nathan Glantz was my great-grandfather. Thanks for posting! (Anita Glantz Perkins)

[@AnneLinders]

That's awesome! Do you play any instruments?

[@ThePowerBunny]

I'm curious, who owns the copyright to this recording of the song?

[@SeeburgMusic]

@@ThePowerBunny It's out of copyright

[@timacrow]

Great song. I first heard it in the movie 'Forbidden Zone' and wanted to hear the original. You did not disappoint! Anita Luna Perkins: Awesome! His recording is a great part of musical history!

[@menomisespeanut]

A man of taste I see.

[@whiskeyflickslive2892]

"Henry Ford is learning how to Yiddisha Charleston now" Now that's some tea...

[@SeeburgMusic]

Tea?

[@barbcard]

Oy, I can't help listening to this over and over. Great images and hilarious lyrics.

[@lisaglynne]

Amazing music, amazing photographs.....Thank you so much for posting! The photo of the people-packed ship tugged at my heartstrings because my Great Grandmother came to the U.S. aboard one of those ships, and I never could have imagined what it must have been like for her.....thanks again......

[@adriankorsner]

Memories of my late grandparents who used to play this to me continuously on their wind up gramophone and kept me quiet for hours.

Just a word of warning to 78 collectors: Nathan Glantz made some great records, but the rendition of "Yiddisha Charleston" (issued on Pathe and Perfect) ascribed to the Glantz band (that I went all in for in an auction once!) isn't nearly as hot as this one. If you want to obtain this particular one, look for "Yiddisha Charleston" on Romeo 287 as by "Eddie Miller's Dance Orchestra" (recorded within one month of the Glantz version). Not sure how this has come to be known as a "Glantz" side, but, in my opinion, it began with a misidentification on 2002's Columbia/Legacy C2K 86323 CD compilation, entitled "From Avenue A To The Great White Way," where a track of this was misidentified with the Glantz date and masters. Rust had this rather mixed up as well; he had this one as being issued on Cameo and Romeo under the name "Dixie Daisies" (and the Cameo issue of it may or may not be so named on the label...I've never seen that one). It's also pretty unclear who the band really was (Sam Lanin, perhaps?), but it is a terrific rendition!

[@michaelmills7198]

I have the Cameo issue. It's "Dixie Daisies" on that issue, as well.

[@danmoss3764]

@@michaelmills7198 Yeah-I've also since acquired the "Dixie Daisies" rendition on Cameo 1044 (several years ago). The one I already had at time of commenting back then is by "Eddie Miller's Dance Orchestra" on Romeo 287. I don't think this side was ever actually issued under Nathan Glantz's name, and am pretty sure it's not Nathan Glantz. (The rendition I remember hearing that actually was ascribed to Glantz on Pathe/Perfect issues was rather lackluster by comparison.) Terrific record, though-eh?! On a nice sound system, it makes jaws drop at our little 78 club's record spins.

@@danmoss3764 I noticed the poster misidentified the vocalist. It's Leroy Montesanto. Not Irving Kaufman.

[@znuky]

Marvellous music and pictures! Thank you! By the way, the best British version of this is by "Max Bacon & The Gilt-Edged Four" - a name which I think epitomizes the Jewish sense of humour.

[@vanness5]

I had to return to hear it again! Havent heard anything so fun since the time the Lubsko Fireman's Orchestra got drunk and ruined all-saints day!

[@amandarussell9532]

I love the tinny sound of music from this era

[@gabe_s_videos]

I really wanna hear an electro-swing version of this.

[@tophatproductions3031]

There is one simply called yiddishe charleston remix

[@PollockAndPollockNewsChannel]

That makes me shiver....I love that ....it truly reminds me of my heritage.....

[@akmediascope]

AMAZING PHOTOS! I didn't realize how crowded the ships were-- it looks absolutely dangerous

[@bobboscarato1313]

Love this music!

[@muffyO]

Oy Vey.

[@topsalespro]

A real jewel! Fascinating relic of a bygone era, the golden age that was the Yiddish Theater, Jewish culture meets modern world.

[@vanness5]

love it!

[@jojoUK120]

Hot! Now should I file this under Klezmer or Jazz? 😂😎

[@notme437]

yiddish swing ;) although it doesnt really fit the characteristics of that style as described by henry sapoznik!

[@subsamadhi]

It was on here for a while, whoever posted "The Forbidden Zone" on youtube had most of the vids pulled. You know how youtube is, every thing that is cool gets taken down....

[@heinoverbeek]

Fantastic!!

[@MrDooteronomy]

Good stuff!

[@laylaglantz8876]

perfect!

[@hebneh]

"Henry Ford is learning how to Yiddishe Charleston now!" What a kooky lyric. Ford was notoriously anti-Jewish. That's one reason the Nazis presented him with a national award in the middle 1930s.

[@megaswenson]

The first six or eight notes are from a classical piece (itself adapted from a folk melody). Scheherazade? Very witty.

[@bluexxg]

great record¡ zay asoi mir gut ein copie zu aveggesenden

[@martinbryan3716]

The vocalist is definitely not Irving Kaufman. Rust shows the singer from this session as Lester O'Keefe, though curiously, he does not acknowledge that there's even a vocalist on this side in the old Dance Band Discography. But Irving, it ain't!

[@luismantaras6460]

Martin Bryan - For sure is not Kaufman.

[@luvmyrecords]

I disagee - the tessitura is higher and the style more frantic than we're used to, but it's Kaufman's voice to these ears.

[@NoirFan01]

Do you play the song from right to left?

Clarinet, n. An instrument of torture operated by a person with cotton in his ears. There are two instruments worse than a clarinet - two clarinets. ~ Ambrose Bierce "The Devils Dictionary" 1906

[@lemontarsier]

Just an example of how subversive content was slipped into pop songs--acknowledging a powerful man's antisemitism and mocking him for it.

The essence of wit is brevity. You don't have to get on a soap box to knock someone down a peg.

Henry Ford was so against modern pop music in the 20s he started a campaign to get everyone turned on to square dancing
