One suspects that robert is victimised by hearing only recordings by James P. One expects that The Maste may have changed tempi and / or inflection from time to time. A recording is an aural "photograph" not necessarily the ONLY way a piece is or was played.

Couldn't you have posted a speed-corrected recording? These performances are sharp because the recording being played is too fast.

An L-5 or L-7, perhaps?

The Alto Saxophonist is Johnny Hodges....

She's Ina Ray Hutton's younger sister...

CB is playing an ALTO in this performance...

Jo sings this musical Haiku beautifully.

Actually, Stereo recordings were available from ~1953 forward on TAPE. It wasn't until the latter part of 1957 that groove and pick up technology allowed for records to be released in Stereo veersions.

The Best Man by The Nat King Cole Trio was recorded for Capitol Records on 19AUG46, Matrix Number 980, and issued on Capitol #304A.

The song's origin was as the theme of the Uptown Hall Gang transcription series played on the Allied Expeditionary Forces Program (AEFP) over the BBC. The Uptown Hall Gang was a small group unit of the American Band of the Allied Expeditionary Forces conducted by Captain (later Major) Glenn Mille...

Artie Malvin's, (lead) voice with The Crew Chiefs had a distinct purity and exceptional taste

The warmth and sypathetic harmonics of the Columbia Studio used for this recording impart a richness that is delightful in this clean pressing.

Also, Kay Thompson's great vocal arrangement should not be overlooked. Eloise had a most talented "mother!"

Nein Nein Nein...........es ist Blue Skies, nicht Little Brown Jug

It's easy to call a performance the first rock and roll recording. It's far more reasonable to consider that recordings from a variety of sources (e.g.: Jazz or Blues) built a path to what is considered Rock and Roll. This recording or Rocket 88 are signposts, but not necessarily the "first" of t...

If we weren't content to hear Freddie playing eight-to-the-bar............he's also in there with the Celeste, for a piece!

Ella Mae does, indeed, say "homie." Remember, she's "... in there...!"

It's neither the 1924 nor the 1927 recording. It dates from much later, at least well into the 1930s, and probably a 1942 recording.

And all written in perfect haiku form....amazing.

Dick Haymes is the male vocalist. He was under contract to American Decca at the time this recording was made.

JCJ..........If you haven't already found it, the aforementioned Slim's Jam can be found elsewhere on this site, and in reasonably good sound.

This NOT a "Living Stereo" pressing of the 1956 hit. RCA did not introduce in-groove Stereo until 1958. Previously, the stereo tapes were introduced in 1957.

This recording is NOT in Stereo...

And all beautifully written in pure Haiku form!

Eddie Sauter ARRANGED this piece for Benny Goodman. Hid did NOT compose it.

Sousa had NOTHING to do with any of the military marches, or the performance of the Air Corps Song.......

Air turbulence, perhaps?

"Shoeless" John Jackson sounds alot like Benny Goodman for the best reason...he IS Benny!

The song being performed is ROBBINS NEST...........

No one has commented that the original lyrics reference the Harlem section of New York City. Seemingly, the lyrics were sanitised within a decade of their first being recorded to lose the "high brown," "Lenox Avenue," and other specific references to that section of "The Big Apple."

Dave Lambert and Buddy Stewart sang the vocals on Lemon Drop and What's This for Gene Krupa and his Orchestra

The title derives from the motto of the United States Army-Air Forces: Sustineo Alas.

The guitar solo sounds much like the style of Carl Kress..........acoustic and confident.

"Good morning to some of you, good afternoon to some more of you, and to the rest of you, gooood niiight."

...and PERFECT PITCH!

Nein...deise orkester ist Hal Mcintyre, nicht Glenn Miller.....
