Roaring Twenties - Oliver Naylor's Orchestra, 1925

In 1923, a pianist Oliver Naylor formed his first band "Oliver Naylor & His Seven Aces" and in 1924 appeared in New York's famed Roseland Ballroom. They also made their first recordings in 1924. After leaving Roseland, their next venue was the Knickerbocker Grill (also in New York), and in 1925 Naylor returned to Roseland as 'Oliver Naylor's Orchestra.'

During 1924-25, he recorded as 'Naylor's Seven Aces'. In 1925, the band also recorded some tunes for Victor as Oliver Naylor's Orchestra.

All through the 1920's Naylor's band toured the East Coast, without achieving national fame. Thus, his band joined the family of great great forgotten orchestras of the Jazz Era.

Ben Bernie's famous charleston "Sweet Georgia Brown" is played extremely hot, with the fantastic sense of the vigour and tempo of that crazy dance.

Just brilliant. Recorded nearly 85 years ago. Familiar jazz tune by guys enjoying themselves like the young guys in bands today, and yesterday and tomorrow. I feel priviledged to listen to this.. Keep Utube free (just heard Google want to start charging per view) - Let them know you disagree!

This is the most song similar to original recordings I've heard. Thank you very much, 240252. Time goes by, but I realize people knew to enjoy as much or better than now, and there were not so many prejudices.
