- Ain't You Baby - Ray Miller & His Orch, v.Dusty Rhoads, Brunswick 1929
This is a little remembered band of the early 1920's. Among the sidemen who at one time or another played with the band are Miff Mole, Frankie Trumbauer, Andy Sannella, Muggsy Spanier, Wingy Manone. Some of their recordings have really spirited solos on such songs like "Weary Blues"; "Angry"; "Stomp Your Stuff", and "That's A Plenty". The vocalists were Irving Kaufman, Frank Wright, Harry Maxfield, Billy Jones, Frank Bessinger, Bob Nolan and The Downe Sisters.
In 1916, Ray Miller was working as a 'singing waiter' in Chicago's 'Casino Gardens', at the same time that the 'Original Dixieland Jazz Band' was appearing. When the ODJB toured to New York City, Miller followed them, and formed his six member 'Black And White Melody Boys' in NYC. The „jazz craze" was riding high, and Miller's group originally played in that jazz manner. One of the bandsmen was trombonist Tom Brown, who, at one time, had one of the very earliest 'White' Jazz bands in old New Orleans. It was probably Tom Brown's talent that allowed the "Black and White Melody Boys" to play true 'Dixieland Jazz". They were featured in several New York musical productions, before Miller established a full-scale dance band orchestra in the early 20s.
They quickly became a highly rated musical attraction in the New York area, where Miller concentrated his activities. This included residencies at the New York Hippodrome, Arcadia Ballroom and Atlantic City. They recorded for Gennett, OKeh, Columbia. Unfortunately, by the early 1930s the band members had gone their separate ways.
I love 20s music. The more I hear Ray Miller's music, the more I love it. I listen to rock, but when I listen to this, I wonder why.
I love this kind of music!. It was a real art!
I used to send jazz tapes to some jazz enthusiasts in Poland when it was in the grip of Communism, but I doubt that many were received by these enthusiasts.
I had some great Polish friends who fought for this country, and remained here after the war. Sadly they are all deceased now, but there are very polish citizens living here (Scotland) now, and like your great postings, they are very welcome.
Thanks for sharing this gem.
Thank you. I am Ray Miller's granddaughter.
I met ray miller in 1924
+James Irwin Really?
Joan Bryden are you really seriously his granddaughter? I am covering his song ain't you baby. I never thought I would talk to a relative of his. I don't plan on making any money off of this and I apologize that I did not get your permission earlier. I would like your blessing in this and I will post it on TH-cam and hopefully you can hear it one day. What a talented man and a great gift to music.
I know you replied 3 years ago, sorry for the late response. That was my 3rd Great Grandpa, whenever he comes to my house he uses my TH-cam account to listen to his favorite music and comments on it to reply to someone else. And the answer to your question is yes he was 18 years old at the time. To him it’s one of his best memories. He even has a picture to prove it! 😁

Love the spirit of those old gals high kicking with gusto and a bit of leg! Somewhere over the years both the music and the cheer disappeared or became more elusive in older folks.
This is the type of music that TOM AND JERRY uses as background during cartoons haha =P loveeee
This is better lol. Tom and Jerry probably had their own orchestra.
They did, but they did replay some of these songs, although I’m not sure if they ever used this song.
Exactly what I thought too!
i love 20's especially the music and also the moment..the fashion and style.. :)
Ray Miller had a very nice smooth band with great arrangements and the added bonus at this time with the great Muggsy Spanier on cornet. I have a few of this band's sides on tape direct from the original 78s but none of their material seems to have appeared in vinyl or CD - such a shame.
muy buena la musica de ese tiempo
100% mejor que el reggaeton que tocan hoy. Eso no es musica, solamente ruido vulgar.
I love this 20's Music Channel you put together! I've listened to it several times.
Shorty is in this video.
Adding echo / reverb to this fine recording & performance is a sonic atrocity.
Very nice!!!!!
Great.
Thanks for posting.
for unknown reasons, Ray stopped recording in 1929. His sound kept getting better & better which made it ashamed that he hung it up. Of the later stuff I have Cradle of Love & In a Great Big Way, love the style.
I am Ray Miller's granddaughter. I can't tell you exactly why the recording stopped. I have scrap book of other gigs in the early 30s. He was alive and well until 1974.
joan wise can you tell us a little bit more about ray s life?
Loved it!!!
Best music
beautiful pic at 1:30
Excellent
Very nice!
14 years old, listens to everything but screamo music... Thank you guitar hero 3, thank you tony hawks pro skater, and thank you fallout and bioshock for intruding me to a cast array of music
Khp13sU-L Fucking same here, thoug now I am 15. I feel kinda strange listening this, but I love it. And fallout and Bioshock introduced me to this music, thoug this roaring's 20's jazzy style was not present in neither fallout or bioshock.
Wtf 7 years ago 🗿
@@animeminians7451 Wtf 2 years ago 🗿
Really?! Those video games had this as a background?! Wow. I am shocked and impressed. Good for them then.
Beautiful.
Thanks.
Thanks again for this Treat.
Love the propeller outfit! Spin me, baby!!
Thanks again
Love it
yesss...great...
Thanks: MY Brain requested this again.
Not all of that is true this is just music I lived in that time
I often think Brunswick, had the best bands, and sound over Columbia and Victor. Something about the sound reproduction. - Great photos and posters.
For 1920s recordings I very much agree with you, but out of all of my 78s the Bluebirds from the Mid to Late 30s and Early 40s seem to have the clearest sound I believe I've ever heard off of a 78 disc.
20s rock!!
Super
In the 60s, they had a lot of downer songs, and it hasn't gotten better as time has passed.
Thanks asgain
Great song. However, the echo effect heard on the vocal is rather strange. Was this added or was it in the original recording? I don't recall ever hearing this "gimmick" on any other 20's record. Thanks for posting.
It was in some songs, but it wasn't an electrical effect, they had them in a large room.
This sounds added to me though, especially with the weird fade after the singing ends.
@Jan Brady This particular video, however, it has been modernly edited in.
I think music is going full circle this is a toned down version of what’s becoming popular

i remember 1929 i was only 47 years old
Boomerang vibes intensifies*
I am doing a modern cover of this song, a bit slower with a different structure.

The picture at 2.23 reminds me of Nazi soldiers doing the goose step march.

I'm 13...My classmates listen to Taylor Swift and all the other artists.What is wrong with me?😂
Tell them "Taylor Swift is *sooo* ten years ago..." ;)
I am 15 and the same I am shore I was born in the wrong era
+Jack Lilley Maybe one day there will be time machines.
I really hope you're right but I just don't understand this era and why people like the music nower day's and things about it
Competed to back in history
The current top comment is from 4 years ago... do you know what was 'hip' and cool 4 years ago?
Not this music.
Unfortunately.
Gay people have the best music
Spooky
Because you don't liked it
