Here’s another Silvertone reissue of a Federal release that doesn’t appear in either of Brian Rust’s discographies covering Jazz and Dance Band records.
The sax that comes in 0:27 and 1:16 sounds familiarly like Nathan Glantz – who did record this tune twice in early 1924 for different labels – and indeed it is he. The highlight of this one for me is the xylophone (marimba?) at 1:33 and 1:58, which is noneother than George Hamilton Green.
According to astute friend of the channel @jslas2-590 (Javier Soria Laso), trumpeter Jules Levy Jr. (present throughout the entire recording) tragically died of pleurisy shortly after this recording was made on June 18 of 1924.
Thanks to Javier for his help with notes and credits on this one!
Believed to be recorded in early 1924.
Reissued as Silvertone 2391 (mx. 2-2465).
Originally released as Federal 5391 and Resona 75391.
