Musically he is MUCH BETTER than Gershwin at the piano. Gershwin tended to sound more like "pit pianist" on his recordings. Just slamming out the notes.

This is really a great version of this old time classic. I have one version of this on a 78, and a piano roll.

This a fantastic version and the sound is fabulous, dislaying the acoustics of an outstanding concert hall.

Hey that is fun. That is a good tune I wonder if Tatum did it that well.

Did I read somewhere that this was the first recorded version of this?

@merrihew I am not sure on that one. I do like the echo effect in this recording. I wonder where it was recorded at?

He sure has the Gershwin style....Merci.

@genia106 This is Frank Banta's own style. He was playing this way for years, just listen to his late 'teens recordings and piano rolls. Frank Banta was actually a year older than George Gershwin, and while their styles are definitely related (they probably knew and influenced each other) it is a mistake to say that Banta's style was derived from Gershwin's style. They are distinct. Just trust me!
Thanks for posting this great recording! Where did you find that great photo?

@genia106 We forget that this was the same time period. Glad you enjoyed it my lovely Genia.
