Since discovering this Ben Bernie medley, it has become almost an obsession with me. I truly believe it represents one of the best representations ever of what early 20th century jazz was all about. Today, if someone said to me you have only one piece you music that you will be able to listen to for the rest of your life, this would probably be it. The musicianship, the impeccable timing and the overall sound would be hard to match today and almost impossible to best.

Loved hearing and seeing a very young Oscar Levant show off his piano virtuosity in the background. Thanks so much for posting!

@Aaron1912 I like the colorization . . . it gives a bit of wistfulness and nostalgia.

Marvellous marvellous stuff.
Amazing to think jazz is (?) not traceable much before about 1911, yet within 14 years or so, it got to have conductors.

yowsa yousa yousa. Loved the melody he did when closing his radio program. Simply the best.

This film clip leaves no doubt why Ben Bernie was such a successful band leader and showman.

I love medleys like this.

the Bratislava Hot Serenaders do it well. Ondrej Havelka & his Melody Makers do some of this type of music too (although they seem to do more late 20's early 30's stuff).

colorized?

I was bored, so I colorized it with paint shop pro and wax 2.0 application.

Thanks. I colorized it with wax 2.0. This is from Lee Deforest Phonofilm Corporation which had been making short 'sound' films since 1922. Check out Eddie Cantor singing in 1923 (also on youtube). All these songs were written in 1923/24.
