Hot f'n damn, this is just incredible. And the singer. From the voice to the facial expressions to the wonderful hand/arm movements. There is so much to learn from him about letting go. I'm in awe.
The first song is called dark eyes and it is a Ukrainian poem later adapted into a jazz song your can find the original lyrics by searching dark eyes (song) on wikipedia. The second song is the ever popular St. Louis Blues.
Nonsense. I have kept a kazoo in my trumpet case and played it often on gigs for 40 years so I know what I'm talking about. One usually sings falsetto through a kazoo, which is indeed what this guy does. This is a kazoo - pure and simple.
@djoutrage18 - i may have a spare 78 of Hotcha Cornia (dark eyes) it's on parlaphone - good cut, killer tune! If i remember correctly st.louis blues is on the other side. The kazoo is being played into a pint size glass. It takes lots of skill to get the mute action , anyone interested in getting a ound like that should get a kazoobi - it's a kazoo with a horn!
Someone said the Guitar player was Teddy Bunn... It's NOT! I can't remember the fellows name but he was later in the Lynn Proctor Trio and was a popular studio musician who played on a lot of hits in the 40s and 50s.
Hi! The 1st tune...in the "More Info" section next to the clip, you're calling it "Black Eyes". I thought it was called "Dark Eyes". Actually it's originally a Russian tune, with a Russian name, but I can't remember the Russian name... I think I heard him sing it...It's something like "Tchechechnia", or something. Forgive my vagueness
See below "The first song is called dark eyes and it is a Ukrainian poem later adapted into a jazz song your can find the original lyrics by searching dark eyes (song) on wikipedia. The second song is the ever popular St. Louis Blues. "
That sounds like what Shirley Temple says in her song "Oh, My Goodness" from the movie Poor Little Rich Girl. The doll sequence in that song is a veritable cornucopia of political incorrectness by today's standards. I feel certain Shirley meant no harm.
Yes the Kazoo is the instrument of the future!Wonderful JAZZ!

Unbelieveble they were good for ever this blues we keep it alive.
I bought a kazoo because of this.
One of the best bands ever!!!
He is playing it so, so high. A kazoo usually makes your voice sound even lower. AWESOME sound!!

Great, fabulous. Thanks very much.
They made a 78 of this, which is probbably rare as hen's teeth, would love to hear it though, this is just great!
It is an exerpt of a 35 mm Vitaphone film in my collection.
Unfreakin' real... Awesome!
