For those who care...soloists are Sonny Lee on trombone, Milt Yaner on clarinet, Pee Wee Erwin on trumpet. Arrangement is by the great Joe Bishop, who's also playing tuba.
"Dallas Blues", written by Hart Wand is an early blues tune, first published in 1912. It has been called the first true blues song ever published. - Wikipedia
I think Jones recorded this again later in 1934 for Decca. This is the version I'm most familiar with because it was a track on the RCA Victor Vintage Jazz Reissue Series. And it's one of my favorites of Isham Jones'. The Decca version from 8-31-1934 can be found on the #IshamJones channel. I still like this version better. More relaxed.
Great! Doesn't get any better. Except possibly the Decca version he recorded a few months later. Not recorded nearly as well as this but along with the remakes of China Boy and Blue Room the band plays tighter (if that was possible) and Hotter than on the Victors.
Pax41 Music Time Machine, I am not. When it comes to music of all kinds especially older. I simply love it and enjoy listening. I am Polynesian from the CookIsland, bought up on Ukelele, drums, and whatever instruments we can put together to make our own music. This is an excellent finding, unique and very much enjoyable.

When I get to Heaven I shall hear music like this.
Great arrangement, and a rhythm as unstoppable as a train rolling over you.
Perpetual motion!
Every time I need to be self-energized I come here!
Glad I can help out Bob

It's not the first blues song published, by years (it had no lyrics until 1918), or the first blues tune published, by years.

Thanks again
me too, great stuff. and love the connection to the very early recordings of the song. 1917..Is that the Victor 1934 recording? ok yep i see that now.
Jones had one of the all time great bands. Wish I knew who did this chart. My guess is either "Jiggs" Noble or GOrdon Jenkins. Great!
The arrangement on this was done by Joe Bishop
Do you think there are drums on this? Very low in the mix..
The drums are keeping time for the other musicians. Doesn't have to be loud.
Fletcher Henderson wrote the arrangement for this; it's got his fingerprints all over it.
Yes,I agree but it might be Joe Bishop,Tp-Flugel h. arr. arranging in the Henderson style!
