Description
The Princeton Triangle Jazz Band -- disguised as the Equinox Orchestra -- plays "Strong Talk," based on the chords of "Farewell Blues," on privately-pressed Royal 32D5/6. It's one of their best recordings -- a hot arrangment and solos galore, including the Bix-inspired cornetist Bill Priestley. On the flip side, the band drops the disguise and plays "No More," a pleasant tune from the Princeton Triangle Club's show "Spanish Blades." There is a guitar obligato the awful vocal. The band tries to heat things up for a few bars, but more vocalists snuff out the sparks. Recorded in New York in 1932.
This record is in E- condition generally, with a few handling marks. It was poorly recorded, with some distortion in the louder passages, and pressed on noisy shellac, and even a mint copy exhibits these flaws. You'll enjoy the music in spite of them.
I'm a longtime collector who is downsizing. I know how to pack records.
