I'm here because of the good ol' Oskar as well, I can imagine him dancing to this nice music. Ps: still haven't watched the movie, must finish the book first.
I think it says something that this great band are all smiling as they performed. How could you help but love this? Imagine being in a dance hall with a night if dancing to these guys all night. Bliss.
Oh gotta love the early sound clips, I know I do!! Nice to see a piece of the '20s before the Depression. I'm sure bands couldn't wait for sound to come to film in 1928 (though it was somewhat rare until 1929) to get more national exposure.
Yes, Fred played alto and clarinet for a time. He also sang on several sides. The band also featured a young Russ Columbo on violin and for a brief time, Bing Crosby and the Rhythm Boys
A Great tribute to the musicianship here. Just one point though.....The solo at 2.03 mins. sounded like a guitar, not a banjo as shown on film. Overall though a Creditable Timeless performance!!!
What he played (changing over from his banjo) is a banjo with a wooden head made by Paramount. It does sound like a guitar. The spruce head is sanded and raw, thus looking somewhat white-ish. These come up occasionally for sale today.
I would have preferred to have lived 50 years back in that time; than 100 years in the miserable, rotten, wretched, asinine, putrid, ugly, vicious world that exists today: back then; everything was about style and class!....In our time now: the world that is lived in; an amoral, perverted, disgusting, horrifying, utter tragic parody of what had once been, good, fine, virtuous, wholesome entertainment.
There's no denying that bands from these years were totally awesome!!
The Tin Drum brought me here
Same :)
Walter Schafer, yes I came for the same reason, I wasn’t sure if it was the song or not.

Wonderful book
Great version and great slap bass!
This is truly amazing! A real piece of history - and it sounds real good, too!
Wished I was a teenager back then

Truly amazing the collection of talent in one big band. Imagine it live.
Excellent with video
One of the old-time greats - thanks..
If I had a time machine...I'd be sitting in the Ambassador with Louise Brooks watching Gus Arnheim, over and over again....
Good Song --> "Don't Bring Lulu" - Ben Selvin & His Orchestra (1925)
'That's all there is. There isn't any more'.
Why not?!

Very livelymusic
Wasn't this the band in which Hollywood star actor Fred McMurray played sax and clarinet, for a time?
Great bass-player, by the way.

Sounds as if the tiger has a stomach ache! Fun!
that was the elephant going for the tiger - save him!
Check out ' The Fabulous Ingenues' all-girl band for a fascinating contrast to this Tiger Rag

Ward Lay on bass?
Is this "Jimmy the Tiger" Charleston? They mention it in a book and I am searching for it
the tin drum?.. If is that book I have the same question
Was that Rus Columbo on the hot violin?
Yes!
