That's the one I ripped the music from Youtube as an MP3 onto my computer.

Expect a knock on the door at Midnight from the CD Police

Lily Pons in Operatic Arias - Columbia Masterworks 1948

 

[HadleyH]

Jazz musician Valaida Snow (1904 – 1956).
She played several instruments and she also sang.
"After focusing on the trumpet, she quickly became so famous at the instrument that she was named "Little Louis" after Louis Armstrong, who used to call her the world's second best jazz trumpet player besides himself."

78s to patch a hole in my favorite pair of shoes by ---

Starting off in 1931 with Abe Lyman and his California Orchestra, and Paul Neely bellowing "A Cafe On The Road To Calais." Hey, I dunno what they do in California, but around here we pronounce it "callus." And there's no cafes on the road up there, just a lot of moose.

Next, it's 1932 with the Mills Brothers, and a rollicking "It Don't Mean A Thing If It Ain't Got That Swing." Positively no musical instruments or mechanical devices used on this record with the exception of one guitar. And maybe an oxygen tank.

Happy Birthday Pops!

Paul Whiteman, born March 28, 1890 ... and His Orchestra

Here is probably the biggest and best collection of Whiteman's music on the web, dating from 1920-'42.

Start with Whispering, which put Paul on the map.

After that hear all the people Paul put on the map - Bing, Bix, Tram, Mildred Bailey, Ramona, Johnny Mercer...
You will believe that some fat bald guy out of the 2nd violin section of the San Francisco Symphony could become one of the greatest showmen of popular music.

Jack Teagarden’s second to last album before his death (Think Well Of Me) was a masterpiece. I can’t think of an arrangement of a song that is the aural equivalent of film noir more than the one on the record for Don’t Smoke In Bed.

A modern song that sort of feels like a distant relative is Elvis Costello’s “Almost Blue”, which has become a bona fied jazz classic. Imperial Bedroom blows me away to this day.

One of Chet’s versions for good measure.
