A fun early record by the California Ramblers, who seemed to record on virtually every label in the 1920s under one of 1,000 pseudonyms. This one was from a Paramount session that also was released on Puritan, Broadway, Triangle, and Famous labels.
A muted trumpet solo with some light growling and wah effects starting at 0:50 is followed by hot breaks featuring Lloyd Olsen on trombone and Rollini on bass sax. A second trumpet solo begins at 2:04 and leads us to the ensemble close.
Recorded in New York City on May 3, 1923.
Released as Triangle 11259.
Original released as Paramount 20232.
