[KB4QAA]

Yippeee!

[19myself91]

@crazyloco78 your comment says enough

[19myself91]

to all lady gaga-haters: you just can't compare this kind of music to lady gaga. Enjoy both seperately and be happy. thanks

[crankbv1]

Every time l listen to this l can't help but be reminded of the King Louie scat number from Jungle book. Especially the muted cornet solo that's just like the monkey that Louie was trying to silence. This is top drawer music from a great era.

[ErnieHollerhagen]

What a fabulous band! The short sax clip before Spanier's solo, is that Adrian Rollini? Fine clarinet solo, too. Could you possibly post the other musicians?

[melpod77]

This sounds like the song everyone dances to in the Jungle Book :)

[StukInTexAss]

This was a (circa) 1914 jazz instrumental standard just like Hold That Tiger.

[EDDIEinWAR]

FUCKING BADASS! OMG THIS BEATS THE HELL OUT OF LADY GAGA!

the way of the future,the way of the future,the way of the future,the way of the future,the way of the future,the way of the future,the way of the future,the way of the future,the way of the future,the way of the future,the way of the future,the way of the future,the way of the future,the way of the future,the way of the future,the way of the future,the way of the future,the way of the future.....the way of the future...

@EDDIEinWAR This 1920's music is very nice and it's from the time my grandmother was a little girl-but I don't know if it beats Lady Gaga since I like her music and LGaga is 1 of the biggest pop music stars 2day.

[f1f1s]

Some passages really remind of Franz List's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2! =)

[78timothy]

Muggsy Sopanier trumpet solo at 1;54 - Hotcha!

[orson15]

@78timothy Spanier.

[189beacon]

Wasn't this the song used on the old Jackie Gleason TV show? When Jackie would say, "A little traveling music Sammy - and away we go!"

[agrgurich]

Yes, it was.

[CarlDuke]

@189beacon I think you are right. Go to a video with this name Opening - The Jackie Gleason Show and at about the 5:20 mark he asks Sammy Spear for a little traveling music, much as he did a few years earlier when he made a similar request to his original orchestra leader Ray Bloch.

Great band! Too bad that Ray Miller went missing in 1930, at the height of his career, never to be seen again. It's rumored that he was "rubbed out" by the Chicago mob because of unpayable gambling debts or because he associated with a showgirl who was girlfriend of a jealous mobster.

[4justjoan]

Ray was my grandfather. He may have gone missing from music in the 1930's and maybe he was hiding. He never talked about his music - only once I recall. I have his scrapbook. He lived in Reading, PA area and died in 1974.

[Cloudon]

240252 : merci for this roaring interpretation.

[orson15]

The cornet solo is by the great Muggsy Spanier

[livingaragtimelife]

Words by Ray Gilbert, music by Lew Pollack. Perfessor Bill writes that the tune was originally an instrumental, and definitely a one-step. When lyrics were added, the tune became hotter and more jazzy. Perfessor Bill is an extremely valuable site for American popular song.

[livingaragtimelife]

verse four:

Once you start you're gonna stay on it,

Ev'ry night you're out cafein' it,

Swing your queen, what I mean,

Brother, you're as gone as any human can be,

And when you're in the mood there ain't no stoppin' it,

Live it, breath it, blow your top in it,

That is jazz, what it has,

That's-A-Plenty for me.

[livingaragtimelife]

You can find the complete lyrics on Perfessor Bill's web page.

[dzheger]

Truely roaring and uplifting. Thanks.

[kspm01]
