J'adore !

[heinbanjo12]

he is also a great guitar player. He sounds familiar to Lang.

@heinbanjo12 Both Lang and Lucas were early pioneers of jazz guitar.

An interesting selection which sounds very well for a 1925 Brunswick.

At this date, Brunswick and Polydor were using the Light-ray process, an early type of electrical recording. It was only about 1927 that these companies went over to the Westrex system employed by Victor and Columbia in the US and HMV in Britain.

In 1931, the Alan Blumlein moving coil cutter patented by British Columbia and taken by them into the EMI merger, represented the next big improvement in recording technology.

@saltburner2 I also have a Lucas recording, one of his last acoustics from a few months earlier. A remarkable advance in recording technology with the electrical process.

@bsgs98

Is it on YT? It would be good to compare.

@saltburner2 No, it hasn't been posted. I'll put it on my "to do" list since you are interested.
