My favorite band. It makes me sad to see how little the name Isham Jones appears when talking about dance bands in modern days... He deserves more credit.
I agree. This was really good.
If you haven’t noticed modern audiences purposely seek out the most classless trashy artists from the past in order to rewrite history to their demented agenda. Thats why no one today remembers the artists who were actually popular in the 1920s and early 1930s like Rudy Vallee, Nick Lucas, Frank Munn, Bob Haring, Jacques Renard, Nat Shilkret, Leo Reisman, Abe Lyman and a host of others…. All forgotten so they can glorify nobodies who sold a handful of records 😂 I couldnt even tell you their names as I dont care for red hot race records or hillbilly crap but to their modern fans they were apparently household names 😂
I literally just today discovered Blue Lament on a 30s music compilation video here on RUclips and it immediately struck me as beautiful - definitely agree with you
I remember seeing him at the Sons of Italy hall in Brooklyn when I was a kid growing up.
It s so cool to see and hear Eddie Stone and bis remarkable voice in the toylandclub scene! He seems so relaxed, as he was during the recording of down a carolina lane, in the rca transcription version 33 rpm!!!
I've been looking for this for years!
The only rendition of the Wooden Soldier and The China Doll by Isham Jones himself.
That's a really good reason to watch!!! I LOVE IT!
You're Just A Dream Come True. One of his best!
Very British dance band sound of the 1930's. Love it. Thanks ..
first time hearing Isham Jones. I really like this sound
It’s a dang good song and orchestra!
Pure talent!
Eddie Vogt is the "Announcer".
Thank you for this informative addition to RUclips. We posted Frankie Carle’s recording of You’re Just a Dream Come True on our “ArtDecoMelodies” RUclips channel, in which we included a request for more information regarding how Jones played his composition as a ‘theme’ song. Your entry has satisfied our curiosity and is very much appreciated!!
This is wonderful to hear, you're welcome! I'm glad you enjoy!
Yay Vitaphone!!
loved this
Very sweet and romantic music!
When there was REAL MUSIC!!
BRAVO!
This must be extremely rare and well worth finding. Thank you so much.
PS: "Eye-sham"? Surely Ish-ham it must be. I know US pronunciation. Differences make the world go round, don't they?
@@petertaylor3600 I have always been told "eye-sham", but you're very welcome!!
@@SydLightbodyOfficialMusic9 Well, you'd know. I stand corrected TSL.
His announcer is somewhat spooky, methinks. Oh, Jan just shut up!
This was the 65th of no fewer than 133 short subjects planned by Vitaphone for the 1933-34 season, when the picture business was emerging from the slump. Trade papers worried that another glut of musicals would follow that of 1928-30; 'there is not enough creative talent or variety of stars and material to sustain box office interest.' But Vitaphone plowed on with the Melody Masters series which, besides Jones, showcased Eddy Duchin, Borrah Minnevitch, Claude Hopkins and Phil Spitalny.
This short was not released until March 1934. Isham may have appreciated the plug, for he was in bad odor at the time: he had been fined $1,000 and kicked out of the musicians' local in NYC for accepting engagements below scale. But Film Daily liked this and called Jones's band 'one of the leading musical organizations heard around these parts.' Variety noted: 'some nice library processing stuff' in the Rachmaninov item.
Gypsy Nina was on CBS Radio at the time. In the late Thirties 'the American singing accordionist' was in Britain. She appeared on BBC television three days before Christmas 1937: one of the first transatlantic acts to figure on high-definition TV.
Her real name was Helen Swann. She was back in US in 1939 and died suddenly of a brain tumor, aged 39.
wow! THANK YOU FOR THIS INFORMATION! Where did you learn all this? This is all so fascinating!
@@SydLightbodyOfficialMusic9 Chalk it up to idle curiosity;-)
I love everything about the Golden Age of Hollywood and the Great American Songbook and always want to make more connections. Perusing trade papers, fan mags and newspapers is no hardship. They are entertaining in their own right.
We all owe a debt to folks like you who fish these gems out of Lethe and upload them for our delight. So much still waiting to be rediscovered...
cool trivia thanks for sharing!
@@esmeephillips5888 Such a pleasure to have you here then! Thanks for the info!
Some call it trivia. Others call it information. The announcer (Eddie Vogt) was the down-on-his-luck vaudevillian who, soon after filming, moved into the National Vaudeville Artists retirement home upstate.
Just love the beginning tune a haunting Melody maybe even melancholy it evokes something don't know how other people feel but it really gets to me
I really liked it too
It’s called “You’re Just a Dream Come True” - here’s Mr. Jones’ recording of the full song:

Enjoy :)
wonderful
This is wonderful ...I have some 78 records of Isham Jones from the 1920's . He was quite popular in his day . This short film is beautiful .
Great post
Chicago's own composer and bandleader, Isham Jones. And seeing him for the first time after hearing his Twenties and Thirties jazz recordings for some time is really something. His orchestra looked small compared to some other bands. Love hearing his sound with the brass and string sections, though. Thanks for sharing.
This is the best dude! For real!
Un ballet de "juguetes", para esos tiempos, debio ser un hermoso espectaculo
Thank you very much.
...but the song seems to go on forever! LOL
Some odd elements in this little movie, but excellent music regardless.
Back when announcers had to dress for the radio viewers.
Can anyone confirm if the first somg was indeed a live studio recording? If so its remarkable and fascinating to literally see this music being recorded.
0:38 Just like watching a giant screen TV.
They’re actually looking at the orchestra through a window. It’s a radio studio (a set, actually) and the live audience is in another room so their noises don’t disrupt the broadcast. Soon these audiences reactions would become a desirable part of radio shows and no longer would people be shut off in another room.
Where did you find this? Was it on a dvd collection? A friend of mine is looking for the Will Osborne Vitaphone shorts.
i have a ton archived i found from film reels
I believe i have some Will Osborne
@@SydLightbodyOfficialMusic9 if you have the chance can you upload it.
i also have a dvd collection with thrse
@@dogerecords5312 of course!
I now know that Isham is pronounced with a long "I". I wonder where the name comes from.
It seems to me that "Gypsy Nina" wasn't really playing the accordion.
My thought as well, so why bother to use this as a fake prop at all?
Where did you find this short?
Como Cascanueces de Chaikovsky pero en radio y jazz
