  • Is this Bean?

  • @MrARvWD My best assumption is the Gregorian year 1927 or 1928.

  • Williams & Henderson 19??

    Harlem, I feel crazy, rhythm’s on my brain

    Music mournful, lazy, Harlem, I’m insane

    Those trumpets and those wailing trombones, singing saxophones

    Hi dee hi has got me razzmatazz with all those mellow moans

    The blues make me frantic, black jazz brings me down

    Once I was romantic, now I stray uptown

    Jungle drums with savage madness

    Give me the blues and steal my gladness

    I’ve lost the mind and so let Harlem I must go.

  • Fletcher is THE MAN

  • Elsewhere on YouTube I saw some guy uploading the Casa Loma Orchestra with the claim that they were the first Swing band. What!? I don't even usually class Casa Loma as either a hot or a swing band but it is just plain nutty to fail to acknowledge Fletcher and Don Redman as the Fathers of the Swing Orchestra .
