Paul Mertz (and his wife Florence) were my neighbors as a child when I lived in the Hollywood Hills from 1970 to the early 1980s. They were the kindest people, always welcomed my brothers and I into their home after school when our parents weren't home yet. Florence would prepare a snack for us, and Paul would spend time in his office making/playing music. I remember seeing beautiful black and white framed photos of them from when they performed in the 1940s (possibly for the U.S.O?) Paul would let us wind up and play a huge antique victrola they diaplayed on a landing at the top of their stairwell. Little did I know, at that age, that they let us experience a beautiful piece of musical history. Wonderdul couple and amazing childhood memories for me.

I played with Jeep Robinson who is playing tenor sax in 1981. Great tenor sax player - and remarkable trumpet playing here by Lee.

thank you for this upload! love this recording

Vincent Johnson wrote a novelty piano work with the same title in something like 2007 I think.

i was quite surprised as Bob generally played his own arrangements

Orch. arranged by Arthur Lange

Beautiful swagger!

wonderful, thank you!

great musician ,really a king of stride piano .Yamaha used lot of his recordings for the disk klavier ,they soon realised what a pianist he was.He outshined the majority of other piano rolls made by several other pianists for yamaha. Deeply rooted in the early piano stride .A real great musician who mastered a style .

Just wonderful.

I love George.....for a long time. He left us way too young.

Old school entertainment.

Love TONI’S music ❤

great musical video with many names to search for and enjoy, thank you for sharing

This is some great jazz. 😎

Super bit of Trad.

We LOVE this tune and just danced to a slightly faster version recently. Thought you might enjoy: ruclips.net/video/OaslGeQ_STg/видео.html

The Jazz age indeed!

gary Lawrence is a disgusting pervert stalker who likely killed his own wife.

I like that! I think more women should focus on making men happy by doing the wiggle-jiggle in a skimpy outfit or bikini. Men show their appreciation with lots of applause and whistles. What's wrong with that? All that's really wrong is men taking advantage of women and being creepy giving them unwanted attention. Just smile.

Adolfo Carabelli and his orchestra were at the head in terms of make a reply to the american jazz. He ain't had parangon. Sadly after 1930 this beauty orchestra focused in produce tangos, which at the time was by far more popular than jazz in Buenos Aires.

The great Jack Purvis on trumpet!

This is the band that bandleader and Chicago Defender music critic Dave Peyton put together on the South side of Chicago for the opening of the new Regal Theater and Savoy Ballroom. It was mostly Chicago and midwestern musicians. Fess Williams was imported from New York to "front" it.

Hotsy Totsy!

My first exposure to Gershwin music (besides airline commercial) was when my sister accompanied a friend who was singing "Someone to Watch Over Me". Enamored with his music ever since.

My grandfather, George Eveleth, played the banjo on this recording. The concept was originally for a live performance, held sometime in the 1950s, then formally recorded privately on this EP in San Francisco for posterity.

This babes were free from fast food dispensers, sugary drinks, genetically modify junk, look at then perfectly trimmed.

Danke shchön für diese video in errinerung Claus Jacobi, leider gestorben in 2024; Grüsse as Frankreich.Thanks for upload and the pictures of LP cover with name of the musicians. Jo (France)

😊 - good. - He was a bit# popular in Th erly 60s when I herd him on th lunch hour progs ( workers playtime) on BBC Light program, when I was teenager only interested in pop, but trad jazz was a sort of welcom break, from some corny British pop songs. # not as popular as Ch Barber; Ken Ball; Ack Bilk . Perhaps he/ they wasn't on a top record label which plugged heavily A Bilk , K Ball who recorded with Columbia (Emi ) & PYE respec

Caveat → Cavett

Pre-stroke JPJ was unbeatable!!! Also it's great to hear him sing (very on pitch) and also to hear him actually play (and sing!) "Stop It" in an audio recording. Previously I only knew the piano roll (which is a really cool roll, to be sure, but still a bit uncertain how he may have actually played it, due to how the editor/arranger presented the final version). Now I wonder how the roll would sound played a good bit faster than it has previously been recorded?

The belly dancer looks like she's possessed by the devil

What a hot medley! Not something I usually say about medleys, but wow, Trumbauer is on fire with that sax and Venuti-Lang make an excellent backing, too. Johnny Mercer scat singing though has to be my favorite part about this record. Thanks for the upload!

When you listen to the piano rolls, you can hear a lot of Scott Joplin honky Tonk type music. A lot of it was mediocre at best, but he composed enough to bring out the 20% great stuff. He played piano for a living at an early age to promote sheet music, which developed his chord capability and ear. He studied composition to become the complete artist. Thank you George.

Thanks a ton for all of these sir!

Soundies were short films, maybe 3 or 4 minutes, meant to be shown in a movie juke box. This is probably a clip from a feature film. Perhaps someone out there knows what film and who the all girl orchestra was. There were several during the swing era, Ina Rae Hutton was one but I don't think this is hear. Hutton had a TV program in the early days on KTLA in Los Angeles. Phil Spitalney was another all girl orchestra but this is obviously not Phil.

Is that Andy Razaf??? I would love a date. Fats & his rhythm recorded 1937-06-11.

Écoutez comment bechet emmène tout le groupe au sommet

I love this old burlesque and striptease stage stuff! It seems tame at this point, yet it was scandalous and edgy at the time. They were so pretty and so talented.
