Seeburg Background music record 1960's instrumental N1B

Seeburg record dated 12-26-64. This particular song is called "On the Sunny Side of the Street" as I recognize the tune but unknown who the orchestra is as ususal with seeburg background records. Its a 16-2/3 RPM disk designed for play in the Seeburg Background Music system. Type "1959 Seeburg 1000" to watch a video of my machine. and read what these were al about.

I guess the reason I enjoy these songs so much is because I enjoyed playing tunes like this in high school jazz orchestra. It made it that much better, but I liked music like this before I got into orchestra and jazz band. Nothing was more enjoyable to play than the bass with a nice rhythmic percussion background with the full orchestra in the auditorium. That and "Engineering Club" are about all I miss of my high school days!

I thought maybe I might know this tune but don't recognize it very well. Did you play string bass or bass guitar when you were in the band?

[drh4683]

Yes, I played string bass. I was also in jazz band and played both trombone and coronet.

I started out on coronet in 5th grade and then went to trombone in 7th grade and started out with bass the same year. Still played the coronet and trombone though. We had numerous ensembles so I could still play either instrument.

I was enjoying this piece until about 2:08, until the -- glockenspiel? xylophone? celesta? -- solo. Such unrestrained improvisation! It broke all laws of musical decency! Surely, the instrumentalist must have been reprimanded for the sheer lewdness of it! It caused Mother to have a spell of vertigo, and I am reviving her now with spirits of ammonia. The idea!!

Post more, please.

It plays from the inside out?

[MrReneManuel]

Pretty nice music. I'm partial to instrumentals.

I don't know...I think I can dance to it?....maybe....

Really! Surely Jimi Hendrix was heavily influenced by the Seeburg music collection. I can clearly hear its influence throughout his guitar solos during the "Band of Gypsies" tour particularly "Machine Gun".

LOL..... I love it!

This really reminds me of a song from the 1964 film L'Amore primitivo, starring Jayne Mansfield and Mickey Hargitay, called Every Night is Date Night in Hawaii. I couldn't help hearing the chorus in my mind while listening.
