Description
78 (80 RPM) RECORD - EDISON 51491 - CALIFORNIA RAMBLERS (GOLDEN GATE ORCHESTRA) - PLAYING "KEEP SMILING AT TROUBLE" (9947B) AND "OH! MABEL" (9948A). RECORDED ON JANUARY 19, 1925, THIS IS NOT ONLY A GREAT JAZZ RECORD, BUT ONE OF THE FEW THAT GOT PASSED "OL' MAN EDISON." AS HE DIDN'T LIKE JAZZ, HE MUST HAVE BEEN HUNTING WITH FORD AND FIRESTONE WHEN THIS SESSION WAS RECORDED! ON THE FIRST TITLE, JIMMY DORSEY RIPS INTO A HOT VERSION OF THE MELODY, PLAYING ONE OF HIS BEST SOLOS OF THE 1920'S. AFTER SAX AND CLARINET SECTION PARTS, ADRIAN ROLLINI BRINGS OUT HIS BIG BASS SAX FOR ALMOST A FULL CHORUS. 32 BARS OF TRUMPET (BILL MOORE?) FOLLOWS WITH CLARINET AT END. THE SECOND SELECTION HAS MORE HOT SOLOS. BOTH ARE UPTEMPO. THE RECORD IS IN "E+" CONDITION (THERE ARE A FEW LIGHT TICKS ON THE SECOND SIDE) AND THE RECORDING QUALITY IS EXCELLENT. THIS WAS MADE DURING THE BEST AND HOTTEST PERIOD FOR THE RAMBLERS AND EDISON'S ADVANCED RECORDING TECHNIQUES BRING OUT THE BEST OF THE BAND'S WONDERFUL SOUND. THE GROUP ALSO INCLUDES IRVING BRODSKY ON PIANO AND STAN KING AT THE DRUMS (HE ALSO PLAYS A KAZOO SOLO ON THE SECOND SIDE). THE STARTING BID IS $39.99. PLEASE SEE MY OTHER LISTINGS FOR MORE CALIFORNIA RAMBLERS AND RED NICHOLS ON EDISON.
