Before I got distracted by Johnny Johnson and Roth’s Gang, I was planning to share a few electric Brunswicks of jazzy dance bands from the late 20s – so here’s the second: a tune from the 1929 Paramount motion picture “Illusion” performed by Bob Haring and his Orchestra with vocals by Dick Robertson.
There’s not much musically revolutionary about “Revolutionary Rhythm”, but it’s a catchy upbeat number with fine playing and a whimsical clarinet solo (Sannella?) starting around 2:41.
Recorded in New York City in September 1929.
Released as Brunswick 4545.
