Found this 1929 record, it's quite listenable, I would say

Found a few of my old records here at my parent's house, a bunch of Vaclav Albrecht sides, including the sketches Mistr Vokurka v. Stare Country, Mr. Vokurka Opět Doma, Party na Mr. Vokurka and Legiońari na Sibiři and the musical numbers Čeśti Farmari (Polka), Boom-Sti-Ri (polka) Nepudeme Spat az Rano v šest (Rheinlander), Sivá Holubička (waltz), Rendezvous Roccoco (intermezzo), and Love's Dream After the Ball

All 1927 Victor recordings of the really great Czech Vaudvillian Vaclav Albrecht.

Recorded in Chicago.

Albrecht made a name on his Beka/Artiphon/Homocord discs which were pressed in America on the Odeon/Okeh orange label foreign series, and he came over in 1923 to perform in New York, Cleveland, Chicago, St Paul Minnesota and Texas. He recorded a couple dozen acousitc sides fot Victor at this time. He was lured back in the Victor studios to record more stuff with the new Electric Process in 1927.

My introduction to records was through my great-grandfather's Czech records, which were given to me along with his Victor V machine when I was five. I didn't really learn about jazz dance music until I entered my teens.

The American record companies, most notably Columbia and OkeH, did a really big business in "nationality" records in the 'twenties.

These are some of the discs that started me off. They are transfers made by another, though.

Pardon the Glove - The California Ramblers, 1927. An instrumental by Howdy Quicksell of the Jean Goldkette band, it was recorded by several outfits of the day (but not Goldkette's).

My mix at the moment is early Glenn Miller (Glen Island Casino stuff), Quadrophenia (album, not film), Matt Monro, Glenn Gould (Bach's Goldberg Variations) and X (again, early works--Los Angeles, etc.). Crazy mix, but there you have it....
