Listening to Bob Willis and his Texas Playboys. My Pop was a big CW fan so I grew up with Bob he was also a Big Jim Reeves fan. My Pop learn to play Guitar while studying Gene Autrys finger work in his Movies. Country Music was popular in the pre-war Dutch Indies.

From the same year, Duke Ellington and Showboat Shuffle. They get a rhythm going that I can't describe. Whatever it is, it's not a shuffle, altho the intro does give the feel of rocking on a big boat.
Click Duke to play. Note snappy beltback.

A 1940 remote broadcast by Ted Fio Rito and his Sky-Line Orchestra -- a band which sounds nothing whatsoever like the familiar Fio Rito band of the mid-thirties, except that Candy Candido is still around with the occasional novelty vocal. But where's Muzzy Marcellino! Where's the Debutantes! Where's the clickety-clackety temple-block rhythm. And what's with the zooming airplane sound effect at the start of the broadcast?

 

[Fletch]

Leftover from Fly Away to Ioway, apparently.

Does anyone know who the three male singers are with Red Nichols in this video?

They're the Song-o-pators, who recorded with Red's Chicago-based road band in 1934. This is probably that band in the film, altho some Tuber claimed Benny Goodman was sitting in on clarinet. (I disagree.)

Red returned to New York in early '35 to begin conducting a radio program, Kellogg's College Prom.

Thanks for the info. Fletch. I have been listening to alot more of Red Nichols lately and trying to find some good CD's out there of his recordings. I would have to agree that Benny was probably not sitting in.

[Shangas]

Jack, I think I will join you.

I am listening to...

Frank Sinatra: "The Greatest Hits" (1940-1947) 2-disc CD set.

Track #1: "Saturday Night is the Loneliest Night of the Week".

Two you may miss - not well known - are the 1935-'36 radio ETs by this particular band (on the CIRCLE label), and the 1939 RCA recording band (on the HEP label). Not as hot as the 20s stuff but very good listening.

I would have to agree that Benny was probably not sitting in.

They worked together in 1929-'30 and that was it, AFAIK.

Thanks I'll look into those, do you know if they are on CD?

Benny was busy in '35 working on the "Let's Dance" program.

 

[Fletch]

Yep they're CDs on those respective labels. The Circle CD is actually Will Osborne and Nichols on one disc.
