I wonder why, dion and the bellmonts, sigh

 

[Fletch]

Raymond Paige and His Orchestra, recording on Victor in 1935, an outfit I doubt anyone but Lizzie knows. The tune: a Sam Coslow trifle called A Little White Gardenia.

For I bring a little white gardenia
As refreshing as a day in May
You may wear it if you care or toss it - away

This is a big radio orchestra, arranged like pure corn syrup, but it just has such taste that the effect is anything but elevator music. Zero processing, zero echo, and the tones of some of the instruments (especially the reeds) have been extinct for decades.

 

[St.Ignatz]

Right now the ball game. Last night on a long ride home from Delaware with Louis and the Boys..Hot 5's and 7's. What a privilege to be able to hear musical recordings almost a century old.

Paige led the house band at KHJ, Los Angeles for many years -- and was also closely identified with "Hollywood Hotel" on CBS. He can be seen onscreen in the Warner movie version of that radio show -- and looks exactly like his music sounds: glossy hair, precise moustache, tuxedo.

Ah now, but what sort of tux? I'm thinking shawl-collared double-breasted 4x2, buttoned high, with a deep-vee wing collar and diamond end tie.
No gardenia though...that's for you.

 

[BinkieBaumont]

Musik! Musik! Musik, a jaunty German number from the 30's by Otto Stenzel Dance Orchestra it sounds very similar to the theme tune to the Muppets Tv series from the 1970's or is it just me?

And rather surprised to se a "Woolworth" store in the film-clip

 

[Shangas]

I'm in a very 20s mood today. So my tune of tootling for today is...

Arthur Gibbs and His Gang...performing...The Charleston!
