Wow – I really love this flip side of the Harmony disc I posted yesterday! A real pick-me-up that will brighten your day and is well-worth a good listen.
From the last recorded session under the Arkansas Travellers moniker, this band was a variation of Red Nichols and his Five Pennies that featured most of its key players. The standouts here include a clarinet solo at 0:42, Red on trumpet at 1:01, a sparkly piano solo from Rube Bloom at 1:38, and a Miff Mole trombone solo at 1:56.
Recorded in New York City on September 14, 1927.
Released as Harmony 601-H.
Also released as Velvet Tone 1601-V and Diva 2601-G.
