I LOVE this! The first time I heard a piano solo with a traps drumming backing it - this early on a record, I noticed records like this that were made in the 1940s and 1950s!
I LOVE this! Cameo records are just fantastic! I LOVE the Australian labels! Most look like the same fantastic artist who designed Gennett labels were the designer's! BEAUTIFUL Record all around!
Really nice!! Where is this found in the Dance Band books, I wonder? "Chuck Winters" is an obvious pseudonym. This has to be screamingly rare. Thanks for posting!!
@@johnleifert3205 I haven’t had any luck pinpointing exactly who this is either! If I figure anything out I will make sure to comment and let you know - Thank you!
Russ Ebker - By the way, there was an excellent comment left in the comment section of the A-side by another gentleman. He mentioned some excellent details about the band and this disc specifically. Take care!
“Jack Westbrook” was really Hugh Jack Walkup (1895-1969), a trombonist-banjoist out of Dayton, OH, who by day was a salesman in the paper industry. He began leading a dance band about 1926. The Jack Walkup band recorded 13 sides in Richmond in 1930-‘31. Drummer Russ Ebker was the usual vocalist, as he is here and on side -B (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DlSFMPsC_1Y.html). A further four cuts made Oct. 25, 1934, bear the distinction of being the last session held at the Richmond studio, and the last releases on the Champion label before it was sold to Decca. The Walkup band was still playing engagements as late as 1939. In later years Jack Walkup operated his own paper company in Dayton. He retired to Fort Lauderdale, FL, where he died aged 73.
Never has there been a transformational point in music history like early 1920s compositions compared to early 1930s. More correspondent in the amount of popularity fast fox trots and the likes had. Early 1920s has some fast tracks including the frog song 1920, and a few others a sparsely remember the names of, but never to the extent of music development by the late 1920s. That being said, I almost love the sweet melody commercial jazz style of 1920-1925 the most.
Much snappier tempo than the ultimate Paul Whitman's recording, trending more the mid 20s frenzy, than the more mature and finally disastrous end of that careless decade!!! Thanks for sharing
Not heard of Morris, but love this! Interestingly interpreted arrangement and good danceband stuff overall! New label to me too. Australia has plenty beautiful and rare labels.
