Paul Tremaine Orch. 1929 Hot! Roaring Twenties 

Amazing jazz video

Great.

Tremendously clear offering for it's age: great!

Outstanding!

Tremaine originally came from Kansas City. As well as singing, he played the fast tricky alto sax and clarinet on his recordings. The jazz-spiritual novelties were pretty successful for Paul, and inspired the very swinging Joe Haymes band in the early 30s. The packaging you do really enhances the music and you're right - even grandma doesn't remember. (Well, my grandma would have, but she'd have been 112 this year.)

Outstanding! A lot of work it is to put these together. Thanks so very much Biff.

listening this kind of music I am so happy .. what a melody, harmony and rhythm !! thanks a lot for sharing

Awesome!!!!!!! I'm sure bands welcomed the new sound on film in latter 1928 so these short films would give them more national exposure. Nice to see a slice of the roaring 20s in sound before the Depression came.

Soooooo good! 💘💘😍

What a tremendous achievement....love it! Thank you.

I have run this gem several times. This is entertainment. All your posts are so swell. Thanks so, Carol

Absolutely spectacular !!! Played it at least 12 times today! Never knew a "soundie" was made so early! And 2 strip Technicolor no less! One of the best Hot Jazz I have heard! Thank You So much!

Excellent with very good interesting photos

Thanks again.

You make such great vids Biff, thanks for sharing this

Thanks again

This is a treasure to be protected for future generations! Hollywood would never ever do anything like this ever again! Unless it was to denigrate heaven and eulogize hell!

Thanks agalin.

OMG! Great!Terrific!

Thanks.

Hay, Biff! What a devilishious and HEAVENLY video indeed!

I think the devil scenes are from C.B. DeMille's Horror-Musical spectacular "MADAME SATAN!" "MADAME SATAN!" "MADAME SATAN!" Back in the days of the Charleston, most all of the Modern Ladies' "Decks were CLEARED for ACTION!!" and helping with this positive delight also, was that they were "Foot-loose and fancy-free" too, so the descriptive tune went. (The Foot-loose part of course referring to their constant Charleston dancing 'till dropping and the other, well, here it might better be left to the imagination, as to any likely meaning.) The Twenties truly were days of freedom and merriment, why even the Newsboys were buying-and-selling stocks! These award-winning productions of 2reeler's serve to firmly and colorfully and forever underscore that reality of so long ago, the time even of when our own President Calvin Coolidge said: "The business of America . . . IS BUSINESS!" as well as "Vo-Do-Dodio-Do!" . : .

Brain needed again. Thanks.

Biff,These are GREAT,even got Aaron1912 beat.

Thanjks again.

Four Four Rhythm

Mr. 2reeler, you did a wonderful, wonderful job of piecing together these film elements into a highly entertaining visual for all the Flaming Youths who like this new rhythm, jazz! Thank you for your hard work. (Do I see a few seconds from the "Dust" number in "Children of Pleasure" (1930)?)

The Hades part is very reminiscent of the recent tunnel grand opening in Switzerland...

Tremaine sort of looks like another great singer of the day: Lawrence Tibbet

Ah, yes, they just don't make movies like they used to, do they. I am a new ukulele player and I discovered that lots of those old songs are available on pdf images of the original sheet music including their cover art, collected and scanned by a Canadian fellow named Ian Chadwick. They have piano arrangements and in the 1920's and 1930's all of the sheet music had the ukulele chords too. If you'd like to capture those good old songs, go to www.vintageukemusic.com/index.htm .

@Xxkissmysass19xX It's Four Four Rhythm by Paul Tremaine and his Aristocrats

what is the name of the font? i'm doing a project for history on the roaring 20s and would love to use it! thanks :x

That Was GREAT, I really enjoyed it. Could you do that with Paul Tremaine's " Rockin' Chair (Carmichael)on Columbia Viva-Tonal 2200D?

It would be nice if we actually saw the original film fully. Not to say that this editing isn't great by itself.

Does Paul Tremaine ever smile?

I get that it's a montage but was there a real Tremaine soundie of the tune at base, and/or was this a transcription for radio?

20s

If this is from 1929, how was the restaurant serving beer? Prohibition was not repealed until 1933.

Alles kake
