From the Record Shelves #320 – It Was So Beautiful – Sometime around the shift of millenniums, the sound engineer Ted Kendall made new and good transfers of Django Reinhardt recordings for the British label JSP. Here we have volume four in the series containing, among others, a session from September 1935 (…) read more and listenread more and listen

From the Studio #69 – I Wished on the Moon – Today I play and sing a song from 1935 that was recorded by Bing Crosby, Red Allen, and Teddy Wilson with Billie Holiday that same year. It’s by Ralph Rainger with lyrics by the American poet Dorothy Parker (1893–1967). I give you the lyrics here: (…) read more and listenread more and listen

From the Record Shelves #319 – Stomp Your Stuff – State Street Ramblers had recorded with Roy Palmer on trombone and Darnell Howard on clarinet, but here they have to do without them, and if you can trust Rust “Jazz Records” discography, it’s just the trio of the rhythm section that we hear (…) read more and listenread more and listen

From the Record Shelves #318 – Dardanella – Coinciding with WW1, let’s say between 1915 and 1920, oriental types of songs were popular, and this is one of them, published by Fred Fisher in 1919. He also wrote the lyrics, but they are seldom used. When Paul Whiteman took it up about ten years later, he assigned it (…) read more and listenread more and listen

From the Record Shelves #317 – Nobody but My Baby – It says “Louis Armstrong’s Original Washboard Beaters” on the label. So, what was going on here? Did they try to capitalize on Armstrong’s growing fame in Europe? Was it no mistake, just a way of selling more copies? Well, it might have been the (…) read more and listenread more and listen

From the Record Shelves #316 – Take a Good Look at Mine – This is from one of the last Victor sessions by Jean Goldkette’s orchestra. But it’s not the fabulous, ultimately too expensive, 1927 outfit that we hear. Still, there is much to enjoy. They have a light rhythm section with precise drumming, strong brass (…) read more and listenread more and listen

From the Studio #68 – Nobody’s Sweetheart – Here is jam on tune that seems to have been there always. Still I don’t play it very often. It was one of the first that I learned and I think that I have a recording somewhere from my first meeting with two guys that I came to play lot with. It happened in a cellar and (…) read more and listenread more and listen

From the Record Shelves #315 – Wanted – When you listen through a dozen of 1935-37 sessions with different personnel, under the name Red McKenzie’s Rhythm Kings on this CD you suddenly hear something that reminds you of a distinct sound. But it’s no wonder that you think about Raymond Scott (…) read more and listenread more and listen

From the Record Shelves #314 – I Know That You Know – The opening chorus of the first tune on the LP reminds me of Cotton Club Stomp with Duke Ellington’s Orchestra. It may partly be due to the recording quality of the transcription because this is in the early forties about ten years later and played by (…) read more and listenread more and listen
