Ted Lewis Orchestra - Little Locket Of Long Ago 1933

The third title of this July 28, 1933 Columbia recording session was a rather dreary waltz, played by Ted Lewis and his Orchestra with vocal chorus by Ted Lewis himself. Although the first title recorded that day (Ten Thousand Years Ago) was by a different (and so far unidentified) band with an unknown vocalist, the second title (Here You Come With Love) and this one are undeniably by the regular Ted Lewis Orchestra. The question remains: which band played that first title, which was nevertheless issued under Ted Lewis' name!

Hello Harry Oakley ! Many thanks for all the rarities that you post on YT (many of them never released on CDs or vinyls). This one is probably not the most outstanding recording by Ted Lewis, but nevertheless interesting. A small remark : at first listening, we may think to hear a brass bass, but in reality it is a bowed string bass (probably Jimmy Moore). That is clear at about 2'15...

@jpmfm54 Thank you! You're right, indeed a bowed bass, but it sounds typically like Harry Barth to me!

What a beautiful charming waltz. Thanks so much for uploading this.
