Roaring 20s: Leo Reisman - Red Lips Kiss My Blues Away, 1927

[rojoknox]

10 April 1927, New York, mx W 144016 -- but this is NOT Take 4 like my copies!! I don't believe Rust-ADBD shows a take number. Where did you get this, and if it is off a 78, what take is it? (Take digit is at 12:00 in dead wax -- like "4-A-1" -- when the wax matrix number W 144016 is at 6:00 position.) Alternate take of Columbia 973-D! Thanks for posting!

the beginning part reminds me of films based on late 1920 New York even old Tom & Gerry Cartoons (Now removed off youtube by MGM) due to Legal Reasons. I just Hate new cartoons they just dont have the character old line drawings.

What sets Reisman apart is not just the quality of the playing but the complexity of the arrangements. Oh to have had money and been able to have strolled into a supper club with this band playing.

Great photos, great music. These kids today think they know music. What they don't know is that some of the best music ever recorded was made over 80 years. This recording is an absolutely classic example. Any human who listens to this and isn't moving in time with the music should check their pulse to be sure they're still alive.

i agree. music today sucks. i was born in

'87 and i find it difficult to come across some half decent music. this is a nice song, but i love his rendition of cole porter's 'what is this thing called love'. simply awesome.

[jd03150]

Your were born in 87 and I was born in 37 but we both love this great music. Fantastic.

[bearcub410]

oh to have been able to live in the 1920's born too late ,. love it thank you

[VictrolaJazz]

Great arrangement and especially nice vocal!

[sbd650]

Great song and video!

[demonbarber14]

Great song! I actually own a print of 1:25

[goldsman]

Great song! Thanks for the posting.

Did you do the audio capture / are you using a lot of anti-hiss processing? The sound seems real dead (though clear). I know all the hiss and pops are distracting to people but I'd rather hear the highlights in the music and have it as unprocessed as possible.

[DARANGULAFILM]

It sounds very good to me. I know what you mean about highlights and I too prefer to apply the equalisation curve of the times and keep some surface noise.

As for brilliances, these were monaural recordings.

I understand that with players positioned around fewer or even one mike, the only "multichannel" levels control available was to bring the individual players forward or back as required and needed players to limit their performance within a narrower dynamic than live-to-audience.

If you want scratchy audio try "Leo Reisman" "Chalita" which you can find at DARANGULAFILM here on Youtube.

The flipside is "Querida" but its is much more torn up, the unfortunate downside of a piece being someone's favourite and played to within an inch of its existence.

I can't point with a link as Youtube seems to take down messages which contain even its own URLs, let alone links to competing sites.

I'm getting goose bumps! Simply beautiful!  Thanks much Pax 41!

Recorded on April 10, 1927, and originally issued on Columbia 973-D...

[camille885]

Thank you for this cheerful song! and for your colored pictures too

[muscleco]

What's I'd do for a Golden Sable Champagne right now..

[dzheger]

The happy music and the enticing pictures make me wish I could be magically transported to 1927 as a momentary observer -- do one Charleston and one foxtrot, may be, and then come back.

[kspm01]

I even may want to go back and stay there :-) Combination of the catchy music and the outburst of color in the classy pictures is a treat.

[bostonblakie]

Classic 1920's sound.

[barbcard]

Isn't that Proust in the top hat, dancing with Albertine? Image ca. 2:08 is gorgeous--a word I don't often use.

[norfolk03]

Captivated once again by your fabulous taste, in music, and images! A treat for the senses!

[HarborGuy]

Good music and smart and worldly fashions....unlike the trash we see today on women - enough said...............
