Jack Payne and his BBC Dance Orchestra 1931 

How so far removed musically from our current era! That era produced so many tunes and orchestrations that just make the mind and delight reel!

Simply beautiful. I wish I could go back 1930

wonderful selection as per usual..

Great to see Payne on the BBC nightly schedule. Note the midnight transmission by Fultograph, a wireless photo process. Starting in 1932, a 30 minute television show followed sign-off.

WOW!!!! WHAT A SELECTION! I LOVE THESE!

Payne's band at that time can only be compared with Ambrose on HMV. That superbly warm, yet hard swinging sound easily surpasses anything made in the U.S in the same period. I absolutely love the Starita and Firman bands, but they don't have the same 'complete' sound that these twice as large bands have. I've stopped buying 78s because I don't have the money AND room for them, but this is my favourite period.

another example of wonderful music from an age for us to enjoy today

You did a great job transferring these vintage 78's to video...Friends, Lloyd.

what an amazing era. Each dance band had their own unique sound, and take the tune onto another level. Jack Payne's band I think is one of those, that goes to town with each song. First rate

Super excellent

'Lazy days' is just the best!!! - thanks so much for sharing!

Thanks Jack: My Brain just loved these.

A pleasure to listen to

なんて優しいメロディなんだろう！！　聞き惚れるわ！！これから色々聞かせて下さい。

On "Joey the Clown", just before the last chorus, Jack Payne himself contributes a spoken piece, which emphasises the melancholy of the clown. A rather strange contribution to a dance record.

Thanks for all of the other superb uploads, anyway! My interest in Cigarette is because I'd like the PDO to play this tune, which is great fun and quite different from our other repertoire. All the best, Michael

Really Nice

Fantastic

I don't really have the space either! Keep visiting as there is a lot more to come!

Hey! What's musical life without a little Payne? |:|

I came across 4-5 old hmv records,jack Payne and orchestra, are they worth much,in good nick,what years do they date from

Brain requested again; Thanks.

Great sound as always, thanks! Lovely sides, all unknown to me. Don't suppose you can post Jack Payne's Columbia of "Cigarette"?

I'm afraid I don't have that title in my collection.

6:22

Did Lew Stone arrange for Payne too? Many of these numbers seem to have the unique Stone sound. If so, that man must have been really busy in the early 30s.

A bit too much bass, and too little treble. Otherwise good!

It's always about the music, instrumentation, and arranging for me... vocals are not my interest, and I especially hate this vocalist! LOL Expecially in "Sunshine & Shadows".

Very good
