  • Wow! That was fantastic. I could listen to them all day!! Bring back some more!

  • nice tone of ragtime !

  • Gorgeous! I want to purchase the album. Now!

  • Thank you for sharing this relic, very grateful. Greetings from Argentina. Sincerely Ger.

  • The band is recorded as working Florida tours in the winter around the Hotels, and touring California in the summer, quite where this was filmed is open, but I assume the New York Vitaphone studios.

  • Amazing! Recorded under concert conditions. No dubbing, no overlays, no tape -- one take from start to finish, no mistakes!

  • NE PLUS ULTRA !!

  • Amazing!!

  • Inspiring!!!

  • BANJO BABES

  • It's amazing they way they all doubled (or tripled or quadrupled?) on instruments.  Two pianos and a harp - pretty unique. Sounds like they had to work twice as hard to complete with all the male groups of that time, not to mention spending a fortune on instruments. Thanks for posting!

  • @bixntram The Go-Go's and The Bangles had nothing on these gals. -:)

  • AWSOME!!

  • WOW! I'm BRIMMING with INSPIRATION. I had to have been one of these ladies in a past life! This is so wonderful! I'm in love.... Where can I find more information on this?

  • I can't get enough of this video. So good and so much to watch. Who is playing what and when. This is my very favorite. hein

  • insane!

    wow!

  • You'd have to be a genius to stay on that band, considering 1st of all there's no sheet music 2nd of all most of them are playing different instruments and 3rd of all they probably did all of this in one take!

    Yup, they sure beat today's Boy Bands, that's for sure!

  • It's the Charles Dornberger arrangement of "Tiger Rag". Oscar Levant wrote "Keep Sweeping the Cobwebs Off The Moon". A notorious womanizer he probably got a kick out of this.

  • Just in case you're curious, the tunes they do before getting to "Tiger Rag" appear to be "Keep Sweeping Cobwebs Off The Moon," "Changes," "You Don't Like It Not Much," "Rain," "Mighty Lak A Rose," and "Chasing The Blues Away." Thanks for the post, terrific stuff.

  • Wow! Talk about multitasking! And I never thought I'd ever hear Tiger Rag with a bassoon solo...

  • Incredibly wonderful.
