....just a reminder -- TH-cam audio improves after 24 hours from posting!! It's better to come back tomorrow for a listen, when the sound is fully cured and ripe! A big difference.
@@stevehoffman9735 ....if you have a very good (highly revealing) sound system, you will hear the difference. Technically, I can't explain it -- but if you come back tomorrow you can draw your own conclusion.
There are some real gems in here and several tunes I’ve never heard before. Happy to hear some favourites like Go Home and Tell Your Mother. What a treasure trove!
....We all love Crosby, and he was amazing, but when I hear Jimmy Newell's singing, I forget everyone who came before! What a set of pipes -- he could push air better than anyone! Beautiful phrasing and range.
Enjoying this one very much, especially through good headphones. It’s like I am right there. Gus Arnheim, truly forgotten these days, was a huge force in popular music back then as both band leader and song writer. Judging by his records he took good care of his vocalists. Beautiful presentation, Roger. While I’m a Crosby fan, I agree with your assessment of the other vocalists herein.
....yes, I agree -- Arnheim like Ambrose seemed to take particular care in hiring only the best singers. Glad to hear you are enjoying this one. I was thinking of you while making the Crosby transfers!
@@Prozoot I appreciate it much. I was thinking of putting together a presentation of all of the Arnheim - Crosby sides but this is even cooler as it showcases how great Arnheim’s band was.
Your playlists are perfect for my gym workouts! Because the songs run back to back I don’t have to keep stopping to skip those damned adverts. A fine selection as always

Thanks a Million for this sparkling set of hits from Hollywood's best loved orchestra of the stars. Gus Arnhiem! Dancing at the Coconut Grove must have been an exciting event during those years while Arnhiem held sway there! Roughly speaking, from 1929 through 1931. Wonderful sounding set, Prozoot! Love your still of the band! It's a set still from the 1929 talkie, "Street Girl". from Radio Pictures. The arch of horizontal lines behind the band cleverly becomes a human page of sheet music, after the chorus girls pose against it at the tunes end, dressed as music notes! What an age!
@@ProzootYou are welcome to come up and see it. I've got a good print. "Street Girl" was the second movie made at Radio Pictures. It starred Gus Arnheims orchestra, following the first film called "Syncopation", starring Fred Waring's Pennsylvanians. This was a lost film till the nineteen eighties when luckily a southern California film collector found a great print of it sitting in a Russian Film museum and $50 delivered a video Beta copy to his door. A few films later, Radio added Rudy Vallee to the list of famous broadcasting dance bands they were bringing to the talking screen when they made "Vagabond Lover". Following the '29 market crash came the next and last of the dance band talkies, "Check and Double Check", with Duke Ellington's orchestra and radio comics Amos and Andy. Back to your wonderful photo here. It's a shot of a delightful snappy production number called "Broken Up Tune". This is important Hollywood history here, and a great story that no talkie book author has yet to discover, but I did! Just like the Gene Kelly movie "Singing in the Rain", about a silent actress who can't sing, making her first talkie musical by lip syncing a song that was actually being sung and recorded off screen by a competent singer "dub girl" (Debbie Reynolds). This early talkie trick actually began in 1929 at Radio Pictures with this number, "Broken Up Tune"!! Prozoots' photo of Gus Arnheims' band here is from that number! He played it! Actress Betty Compson sings the song in a long shot, but the voice is not hers, it's actually dubbed in by June Clyde! No doubt hired by Radio Pictures just for this purpose! June had a lovely voice that recorded strongly on film. She would go on to sing a chorus of George Rafts' dance bit in "Side Street" (also off screen) and register so well at Radio Pictures that in just months, she would rise from studio dub girl to leading actress (and her first screen billing) in "Tanned Legs". A delightful 1929 summertime beach resort frolic. Prozoots band photo is from the talkie "Street Girl" , which featured the hot tune "Lovable and Sweet", heard here in Prozoots' superb collection.
@@Prozoot Thanks! A fun argument concerning early film musicals could be a debate of which electrical recording system was best. Deforest Phonofilm, Cinephone, Fox Movietone, Tiffany Tone, Warner Bros Vitaphone, Western Electric or RCA Photophone. The later used also to record the Gennett Electro beam 78s! My preference has been swayed to the electrical recording system used by Radio Pictures, RCA Photophone, due to experiencing a viewing of an immaculate nitrate print years ago of 1929 talkie, "Tanned Legs. " Ann Pennington's vocal duet with June Clyde was richly saturated and Glorious in its intensity. Unrivaled till I heard a 1933 Vitaphone audio of a Busby Berkeley musical at Warner Bros . I believe it was a restored print of 42nd Street. Or Golddiggers? In any case, it was Breathtaking! By then it could have been an audio film track, as the error prone disc system was about all phased out.
Lovely, I have both This is Heaven, and Singing in the Rain on 78. Sound amazing on my phonograph, but nothing compares to your incredible transfer quality, often better than The78Profs.
Thank you, Prozoot-and I’m giddily resigned to listening twice to your latest collection, because I couldn’t wait that 24 hours for optimal sound. Gus Arnhem has long been one of my favorite bandleaders, and your choices are the nearest thing to heaven I know of.
....just a reminder -- TH-cam audio improves after 24 hours from posting!! It's better to come back tomorrow for a listen, when the sound is fully cured and ripe! A big difference.
Is that true? Why would this be?

Beyond fine.

@@JonathanHolmesjazz ....lifting to the "oldies" !! Please speak more kindly about "crap" -- today's music doesn't deserve that elevation!

Wonderful, thank you for sharing!

WOW !!! WHAT'S THE PROCEDURE TO ENABLE THE 1980P HD OPTION ?
'FROM THE COCONUT GROVE AT THE AMBASSADOR HOTEL, LOS ANGELES !
Wish Russ Colombo recorded more with the orchestra. ....Is Loyce Whitman related to Paul ???? ... Eddie Cantor ..yey!!!
....Loyce Whiteman is no relation. Yes, they could have done a lot more with Columbo, but he went off to do his own solo records.

IS THERE A LEGITIMATE AND ETHICAL METHOD TO PRECLUDE THE ABRUPT AND DISTURBING INTERRUPTIONS OF THIS SPLENDID PRODUCTION ?
