Irving kaufman perfect voice as always on point ❤fabulous 👌 ❤heavenly ❤

Love lou his peppy tunes are great to wake me up with my morning coffee ☕️ ❤

I've only ever known Shanghai Shuffle. This is a welcome new melody!

A great jazz band. Thanks August 10 2024.

I was not expecting the xylophone-ish instrument but I loved it I never listened past the first 5 seconds until now and I'm in love

This is hot❤❤❤❤

A great tune and orchestra. One of Adrian's best. A very good vocal by I. Kaufman. Minimal surface noise and great fidelity.

The Book gives the date as "circa April 29th 1927", Adrian Schubert Orch.

OMG! I THINK Roybo just took us all to a 1920s Chop Suey joint and serves up this hot platter ..an unknown oriental themed foxtrot from 1927! What a novel treat! This poor little "Shanghai Refugee" is one hot Chinese dish, she is!! Well played and stunning xylophone work puts the "chop chop" over like soy sauce on the rice! Very delicious squeeling clarinets after the vocal, so twenties, fun! This thing has got everything but the fortune cookie at the end! I actually. chuckle at the ending! So campy, it tickles me! 😋 Great sounding fidelity you acheived coming over my tiny phone speaker too! Tuba sounds great! Mad respect for the xylo player. This is one swell Banner. And a perfect take! Adrian must have been pleased! Nobody flubbed one note. Funny coincidence, I was eating a bowl of beef chowmein when I played this! 😂 😂😂😂 Thanks for adding this delightful Chinese flavored treat! Immensely amused with it. Chinese food for my jazz ears! Yumm. I will gladly leave the tip. ❤ Really enjoying your channel.

The motif around 1:00 - later appears in the Inspector Gadget theme! The lyrics also make sense regarding the Northern Expedition taking place at the time

Recording date is 02.05.1927 according to labellist.

Wow, this is an absolute ripper! Never heard of this tune, but it gets along at a great pace, despite the strange title! Beautiful digitisation too, by the way!

An infectious melody most likely not recorded on any other label. I first heard it in the early 1970s as played on the Orthophonic Credenza.

Amazing 😊

Rust does not list at all this absolutely fabulous side that was issued on Domino 3952 and Regal 8314 as well. The exact recording date is not known: I found April 1927, 15 April 1927 and May 2, 1927, all for the same recording bearing the identical matrix number! Madness... I am absolutely fond of this sparkling and energetic, but smooth arrangement and performance :-) Kaufman's vocal is excellent too. Although I could not find clear credits, style-wise this might be Adrian Schubert, but then other options are just as well possible. Thank you so much for sharing this gem!

A most unusual composition. Yet, a toe tapper. Well done roybo1930 !

Amazing orchestration of a totally unknown tune, highly tempered but not in the overwhelming mid 20s dance craze mood, more of a fast paced foxtrot, nice vocal, but I'd rather have it at a clean instrumental version, never the less a wonderful record, thank you for sharing

It sounds very similar to the song "Just Another Day Wasted Away" from about the same time.

Love the oriental / egyptian themed stuff, and this is one I've never heard so thanks for sharing! Never understood the Irving Kaufman / Arthur Fields duopoly though I wonder how they came to have music business sewn up like they did?!
