SAVOY HAVANA BAND - BROADWAY (LONDON BLUES) - ROARING 20'S VICTROLA RADIOLA

Here's a snappy tune from the ballroom of the Savoy Hotel in London, directed by B. L. Ralton and his Savoy Havana Band! This is probably around 1922 or 1923.

Very pleasurable listen, and a few surprising sounds! They work well. I absolutely love the tinkling piano with a hint of an echo!!

@75capriceconvertible Thanks! It's especially poignant now that I know B. L. Ralton died in 1926 during an African safari when one of his party accidentally killed him! He missed so much more good music!

BL Ralton went off to South Africa 1926 to hunt and shoot animals and one of his team shot him by mistake and it proved fatal

@davidglow3 Good grief, how horrible! He died at the height of everything!

@VictrolaJazz Thanks,i agree the European records are good,it just seems at times ,when i discover a new title ,there is a U.S version already on youtube.I dare say it can give a false impression sometimes.
