My mom saw Kay Kyser when she was young - always loved swing and big bands ❤
Never knew that Kay was swinging this hot in 1929, great transfers,..as usual, thanks
....hey, Lionel, thanks for tuning in!
One of my Dad's favorite bandleaders in the Big Band Swing era, my Dad's favorite was Glenn MIller. My Dad said their music helped get hin through the Army in WW2, fighring the Nazis. Just hearing their music on Allied Radio broadcasts would bring him a little bit of home and memories of his home town of Indianapolis while encamped in France and Germany.
Thank you Prozoot! Fabulous sound and playlist.
....thank you for tuning in Barbara!
Thanks from Paris France 👍😁
....thank you for tuning in!
Fine, fine, fine…Kay Kyser and Hal Kemp are two of my favorite bands, and, as a North Carolinian, I’m proud of their musical legacies. Thank you so much for this wonderful post!
....thanks for tuning in -- glad to hear this hits some southern notes!
@@Prozoot Any plans to post any Leo Reisman?…love his 1925-40 band…great stuff.
@@spencersmith2798@spencersmith2798... I have several Reisman videos already posted. There is a Columbia medley and a Victor medley-and a few singles. You just have to dig for them. Sorry, I don't have a cross-reference. I agree, I never tire of his sound.
These are really fine arrangements. The counter melodies, the horn lines.

....thanks so much!
Another fantastic video! Thank you, as always, Prozoot, for your incredible work.
Those program transcriptions provide amazing fidelity for the era, and it makes the music only that much more enjoyable. I can only imagine how great this music sounds prior to the RUclips audio codec!
You rock!
....thanks so much for the nice words -- always appreciated! Yes, it is a disappointment when the HD music files go to RUclips audio. The depth and detail really suffer. But we should be grateful for the miracle world of digital! It will get better with time.
It’s still amazing given how people don’t think acceptable fidelity existed in the early electric recording days. You’ve proven that wrong over and over again.😀
Amazing !! This proves that Kay could swing with the best of 'em, and could play sweet too. Isn't that an alternate take of Collegiate Fannie? Have had the Bluebird reissue for many years, and could tell the many variations in the solos. Thanks so much!
....thanks, John, -- the "Fannie" transfer came from my original Victor issue. Don't know if there were other takes released, and I have never seen or heard the Bluebird. If RCA thought it was worth re-releasing because it was so good, then why didn't they have Kyser record more hot sides in the first place?
Possibly the Victor differed from the Blubird - which I've heard
Having had the Blubird for so long, possibly the Victor version was naturally an alternate which I've never heard before. At any rate, thank you for sharing it!!
17:55 That proves it - as early as 1933, Kyser was already quoting the melody of this theme song 'Thinking Of You' right before the vocal. Though the 'singing song title' gimmick had yet to make an appearance...
Very early recordings in his career. I never heard these sides before. He began his career as a bandleader in early 1929, subbing for Hal Kemp, and he became so popular in a few months he got a permanent gig on radio and a recording contract in 1929.
Fabulous band, I've never heard before! Prozoot shares some more wonderful rare records, showcasing another top notch orchestra from the glory days of syncopated dance music! Bravo! The rowdy 1933 sides are rhythmically complex, hard to play and have a modernistic essence to them, almost a "World of Tomorrow" drive. .Sounds like Kay was breaking new ground in dance rhythm, almost setting the standard! Very intelligent orchestra well rehearsed in Hotcha. Had to laugh at the "Heat Wave" vocal. Thankyou for another Clean and Pristine post! This one is exceptional, educating and entertaining!
....surprised to hear this one sneaked up on you. The band was featured in several war-time movie comedies like "You'll Find Out". His enthusiasm can be a bit annoying, but the band was always first-class. Plus, he featured one of my favorite vocalists: Harry Babbitt. Great voice! I wish he were on these sides, instead of Sully Mason.
@@Prozoot
Light bulb going off.... Oh, yes! My bad.. For some reason I thought it was not Kay but Sammy Kay in those 40's musicals! Thanks for clearing that up. I can't believe Kay had such an exceptional band in the early days! Great tunes, every one!
Kay at his best!!!
Kay Kyser! My favorite "unknown" famous bandleader. Love the guy. So glad to see this! My mom was from KS and adored him. But are you sure it is Sully Mason singing the first few songs? It actually sounds like Kay himself. He had a very distinctive sound. Sully is definitely the singer on the last few, he was a classic crooner.
Kay claimed he couldn't sing, play, read or write music, or even carry a tune!
That was great! Never knew Kay Kyser even made ETs in 1933!
I was definitely not expecting I’ve Got Rhythm to start in minor, interesting
I think the arrangements on this whole bunch of tunes is pretty hip. The horn parts, the dynamics and syncopation. Tasty little tunes.
....yes, he was a forward-sounding band.
Awesome ❤❤😊
Another homerun by Prozoot. What a great medley of tunes by Kyser!
....thanks so much -- glad you are still plugged in!
@@Prozoot Yes, your recordings are exceptional high quality. I download and only tweak them a tad bid by passing them through a filter to remove the small amount of residual hiss (without reducing the highs) and then add a small amount of separation in the mono to create a modest stereo output. You do 95% of the work and my minor tweak is the cherry on top for me.
Really great!!I didn't know this band but I must admit that they were superb.
Thank you so much for uploading It!!
...grazie per l'ascolto - apprezzo le tue gentili parole.
This was also one of the first bandleaders I heard about lol
Sully and kyser's young years....
