The Charleston Chasers were often a pseudonym for Red Nichols Five Pennies, but the name was used by Columbia for various other bands, including the Original Memphis Five. The Charleston Chasers records always were of the highest musical quality. They had an all-star cast of musicians (e.g.Red Nichols, Jimmy Dorsey, Benny Goodman, Gene Krupa, Jack Teagarden or vocalists like Eva Taylor).
Einar Aaron SWAN (Eino William Swan) was born in Massachusetts, USA in 1903 to the Finnish immigrant family, died in Greenwood Lake, New York, USA in 1940. He was a composer, arranger and a sax player, best kown as an autor of the international evergreen „When Your Lover Has Gone" (1931).
Portraits of Jean Harlow used in the clip are by the great artist of photography George Hurrell.

I keep coming back to the wonderful jazz renderings at the last part of the song. They sure touch a chord in me. Does anyone else hear Guy Lombardo's style in this music?

This is the third rendering of the song I've listened to in the past few minutes, and is my favourite. I have seen few photo's of Jean Harlow until this video. She is a beautiful woman, shown in her best light by someone that knows what they are doing.

This has a much fuller tone than you would expect. Did you use some
sort of mild processing before posting?
