ARTHUR GIBBS AND HIS GANG - LOUISVILLE LOU - ROARING 20'S VICTROLA

Arthur Gibbs and His Gang is most recognized for their first recording of the Charleston on Victor in October of 1923, the most famous dance of the 1920's. However, they also recorded two sides in April of the same year about a couple of red hot mamas: Louisville Lou and Beale Street Mama. The idea of a violin accompanied by a saxophone may not sound too exciting, but in this application it comes off as quite hot. Afterwards, it sounds as if the group is practicing for their Charleston recording later that same year!

I love these songs... "Meet Me in St Louis, Louis" "Sioux City Sue" to name a couple. The Charleston is another of my favorites too! By any artist! I had a great 45rpm copy by Ernie Fields, do you think I can find it!! I'll have to ransack this place someday

@longpast78 Thanks! It's hard for me to believe, but there was a time when I detested a violin--would even keep me from buying a record! Now I love them!

@gmmix Thanks! Just think how completely different this music is from one recorded in April, 1921

A good rendition of a composition that represents its era well. Pleasant listening.
