This is the Fletcher Henderson Orchestra's 1937 recreation of their 1926 hit "The Stampede."
For this record, Fletcher reworked this tune from a hot instrumental into a driving swing number that sounds as fresh as the arrangements that he was concurrently writing for Benny Goodman.
The brief solos are by Emmett Berry on trumpet and Chu Berry on tenor sax.

KC, remember? Coming home from guitar lessons, this tune blasting in the car, looking for ufo's in the western pa sky, and laughing so hard we almost crash the car!!??!! Love you, my little monster!

Generally recording is considered to be a masterpiece in 1926, but I feel it when it is the good acting that an arrangement policy of Henderson depends on the recording in this 1937, and was clarified.

Just what l thought,no matter how high the quality of playing,swing music has no soul.The 20s version is full joyous abandonment.Pick the best decade for music in 20th century and it has to be the 20s

A surprising lack of solos on this record. It's still good, but it's weird considering that the original version has outstanding solos. It would have been fun to hear Roy Eldridge take off on this one. I'd heard he'd memorized Hawkin's original solo and used it as a showpiece when auditioned for jobs in his early days.

I prefer the 1926 recording, but this is damn good too!

Well done! Now, find me 'Topsy' by Basie in 1938. My tapes w/Schapp are in storage, but I recall he said "Hey, summer onf '38: great to be a young Basie-ite" I'll visit this site often. Thanks GFT

seminal example of a classic "swing" arrangement which shows Fletcher Henderson's skill which held him in good stead as the chosen arranger for other orchestras after his playing career ended
-
Almost as good as the original version.

Could you tell us more about the equipment on which you're playing this back?

It's a Sparton radio-phono console, using the 8-57 radio chassis, ca. 1947-48.
This unit belonged to my mother, who bought it new in the late 40's; it was one of the first things she bought when she started working.
After years of disuse I restored the electronics and cleaned up the turntable mechanism. It works like a charm now, and has (I think) above average sound for a radio-phono of its vintage.
