Audio from Archive.org in Public Domain. Fletcher Henderson Orchestra plays RADIO RHYTHM circa 1931. One of the greatest musical talents ever! Here's to ya, Fletch!
Henderson also had good taste in picking out other arrangers/composers. "Radio" is by Nat Leslie, who did only a few instrumentals we know of. He also used charts by John Nesbitt, Will Hudson, Bill Challis, and Benny Carter.
@irenicum Makes two of us. Henderson is second to none, original, probably "the father" of the "the big band" - and so many original compositions during 20 and 30 No wonder Duke Ellington gives him so much - welldeserved! - credit in "Music is my mistress".

I've been a Fletcher Henderson fan for years. And this is by far my favorite of his songs. Thanks for posting this.

Fletcher was just so good at counterpoint and everything else. Friggin' genius.
