BEN SELVIN THE KNICKERBOCKERS VIVA-TONAL - SWEET AND LOW DOWN - ROARING 20'S VICTROLA

[Paal1994]

Outstanding! Selvin has always been among my favorites.

[VictrolaJazz]

@Paal1994 Thanks! And mine too!

[BrucePartingtonPlans]

I just keep coming back to this tune, it's so darned infectious! Love it!

[VictrolaJazz]

@BrucePartingtonPlans Well thank you! Hope it is contagious!

[75capriceconvertible]

Energetic is definitely the word, and many fun little surprises on this record! A real toe tapper and then some!

[VictrolaJazz]

@75capriceconvertible Thanks! I know, it's got so many different little sections and each one is a delight!

[camille885]

Wow, I love these hot rhythms! A favorite song!

[VictrolaJazz]

@camille885 Thanks!

[althazarr]

What a great version!

[VictrolaJazz]

@althazarr Thanks! I'm somewhat overwhelmed by the response this one has gotten. I was amazed at how good this version was too! Like I told someone else, this tune doesn't seem to have been very widely recorded, I don't know if it even made it onto Brunswick.

[Turkeydoodlers]

I never heard this version before, I have by Paul whiteman, like this one better myself, excellent sounding machine!

[VictrolaJazz]

@Turkeydoodlers Thanks! Same here, the Whiteman was the only other one I'd ever heard, and it's very good.

[MultiMartiniman]

I only knew of Whiteman's version that I had posted.

This one is sooo smooth! SUPER!!

So fun to hear a new version!!

[VictrolaJazz]

@MultiMartiniman Thanks! To have been as popular as it was, I don't think it even made it onto Brunswick or any of the other labels like so many other tunes of the day did like Copenhagen or Hard Hearted Hannah to name a couple.

[RamonaFromPomona]

This reminds me of "Anything Goes" !!

[VictrolaJazz]

@RamonaFromPomona And I'll bet anything did!

[RamonaFromPomona]

@VictrolaJazz lol

[RamonaFromPomona]

Nice one !

[VictrolaJazz]

@RamonaFromPomona Thanks!

[lepaysandu]

That's what I call "Jazz" ! Nice ! Very nice ! 14 time of the Wonderful Sax solo at the begining ! Thanks!

[VictrolaJazz]

@lepaysandu You've got that exactly right--"Jazz"! It's got so many separate and distinct parts that make it so interesting!

[lepaysandu]

@VictrolaJazz Thanks yes you've right about the many parts, I would coments that's, but infortunatly I don't have much words for this in English ... Thanks !

[VictrolaJazz]

@lepaysandu Thanks again! You have nothing to apologize for! You're English is far better than my French!

[MultiMartiniman]

This ranks right up there with Paul Whiteman's version! SUPERB!

Yet another record to hunt for.........

[VictrolaJazz]

@MultiMartiniman Thanks! Yes, the Whiteman was the only one I was familiar with until I heard this one and was just thrilled to get it. I think it was a Kurt Nauck reject that I got on a visit to Houston a couple of years ago.

[rordorica]

Those Selvin´s are awesome, great energetic arrangement, such deep bass in this record, and even being a Viva Tonal that is supposed th have a lack of bass compared to electric Victors.

[VictrolaJazz]

@rordorica Thanks! This is one I hadn't heard until recently and I was just thunderstruck at both the quality of the recording and the arrangement!

[PJBGORDON]

Would like to respond to all your videos, but would rather watch than get cramp! All marvellous, so please take this as a thanks for them all!

[VictrolaJazz]

@PJBGORDON I know what you mean and you're quite welcome!

[HarborGuy]

Great Columbia -

[VictrolaJazz]

@HarborGuy Thanks!

[PJBGORDON]

These early electrical Columbia discs give a great sound - especially on such a superb gramophone. Wonderful combination! Many thanks for sharing it.

[VictrolaJazz]

@PJBGORDON Thanks! They certainly do! This one is not in the great a condition and yet it plays quite well anyway!

[muscleco]

What a great side! Many thanks for letting us all hear it.

[VictrolaJazz]

@muscleco Thanks! It was all my pleasure!

[bill3murr]

LOVE THE WA-WA TRUMPETS....GREAT VERSION! CAN'T KEEP MY DOGGIES STILL...HA. THANKS FOR SHARING.

[VictrolaJazz]

@bill3murr Thanks!  I was really blown over by this one--the only other one I was familiar with was Whiteman's, and it's really good too!
