A peppy classic by the California Ramblers using one of their many aliases: Golden Gate Orchestra. Great ensemble playing, hot breaks, and solos throughout.
As with many Perfect discs, this one has some shortcomings – surface noise notwithstanding, the bass rolloff seems to be around 200 Hz so Rollini’s bass sax is not as prominent in the rhythm section as it is on other recordings.
Recorded in New York City, June 9, 1926.
Released as Perfect 14646.
