MANHATTAN - as played by The California Ramblers

[chkjns]

We take massive enclosed open spaces for granted today, but a century ago, they were the engineering marvels of their time! Thanks for a beautiful video AND for identifying Adrian Rollini's part in the music. He was an extremely gifted musician. Check out his video playing Limehouse Blues on CHIMES !!! chuck

Odd to hear this recording of what must have been the way it was played originally, not as we are used to with the smooth sound. nice recording.

This is stunning! You have to love NY to have put together this piece of art. I am beholden.

With appreciation,

Forget about what I wrote about this a year ago! This has become one of my favorite videos on youtube. I watched it at least 50x!!! Are there any good CDs with those California Ramblers Edisons. I have the Edison Laterals CD but couldn't find anything else...

There is only one Manhattan on the earth that is celebrated in song, movies, architecture and all else that signifies its greatness. There will never be another like it.

thank you for your nice words!

I agree with the choice of Lee Wiley. Problem is it is impossible for me to find anything she did live? She was a wonderful singer.

Thanks for the posting by the Ramblers.

I note that your identification seal is Paul Whiteman. My Uncle played with the Whiteman Band while he was a student at Cornell university in the late 20's.

Thanks again.

[lindyhoppers]

well, I can't judge tastes... this is a version representative of the Roaring 20's, Wiley's is a late 30's style in a slower tempo, I like both!

Looking for live recordings of Lee Wiley? I had a couple of LP's of her with airchecks.

What's your uncle's name? I may know him...

Cheers,

Enrico

One of my favorite songs played by a fantastic lineup!

My favorite version is however not that hot... It's by Lee Wiley acc. by Bobby Hackett...

Great video and superb sound quality!
