Bee Palmer, Frank Trumbauer "SINGIN' THE BLUES" (1929)

[usasians]

It is amazing that this great band performed at Cleveland's The Golden Pheasant (a Chinese restaurant / American nightclub) that was owned/managed by Jun Bing Mar. More in can be found at Jun Bing Mar's Facebook page.

A nice version is:" Ballhausvideopics!"

Maybe, Tram plays alto sax here...

Can anyone help me get the music for this sax solo at the start? I used to have it but I lost it! Thanks.

@loushuttleworth You can get the transcription for the Trumbauer sax solo from saxsolos(dot)com. Very reasonably priced.

Great pictures of Bee Palmer. Fortunately test pressings of this session were found so we can actually hear her voice. Otherwise how she sounded without recordings would never be known like legendary New Orleans cornet players Emmett Hardy and Chris Kelly who never recorded. The only disappointment about this recording is there is no solo by Bix as musicians interviewed about the session seemed to have remembered.

[bsgs98]

I suppose this recording was meant to feature Bee. After all, she was "singing" Bix's solo from 1927. But a Bix solo would have been great!

Yay! Thanks for posting.
