the Capital Dance Orchestra : casa loma stomp

[suezeekins]

Wow!! This was great!! My father would have loved this!! He was a huge fan of Glen Gray!! Two thumbs up!!

Bookmarked! Perfect rendition of this tune. I agree with RatPfink66, this is the perfect tempo. Like Jimmy Lunceford's "White Heat" and Miles Davis' "So What" this tune lost its magic when it was played faster and faster. Great to hear it this way again.

Wow, nice playing. Good sounding tbone solo. NIce, I can really feel the time period in this music.

[RatPfink66]

It's great except for two matters of tradition...CLS has not been played at such a moderate tempo in 80 years...and Oehler system clarinets are never used for jazz.

But who cares really? It's a dandy performance and I loved it!

@RatPfink66 This is the same tempo as the Okeh. I actually like that version the best.

Excellent orchestra. I have this song from Glen Gray in my record collection.
