Ted Lewis Orchestra - Little Locket Of Long Ago 1933

[jpmfm54]

Hello Harry Oakley ! Many thanks for all the rarities that you post on YT (many of them never released on CDs or vinyls). This one is probably not the most outstanding recording by Ted Lewis, but nevertheless interesting. A small remark : at first listening, we may think to hear a brass bass, but in reality it is a bowed string bass (probably Jimmy Moore). That is clear at about 2'15...

@jpmfm54 Thank you! You're right, indeed a bowed bass, but it sounds typically like Harry Barth to me!

What a beautiful charming waltz. Thanks so much for uploading this.
