My grandfather played saxophone, clarinet and sang with this orchestra. He went by Pete Moore. He is the center saxophonist in the picture. The orchestra also played at my parents wedding.
@DiamondJoe My apologies, but 18 other people agreed with me. I wasn't referring to the original quality of the recording, but the quality of the sound reproduced.
Two oddities of Victor redords of 1929/1933 era. ONE: They were of better fodelity then years immediately before or after . Victor was experimenting with "HiFi", 33rpm long play records, and even stereo at the time. TWO: Victor produced alot of records distributed in limited area. Many releases from Victors California studio were released on West Coast only. Alot of "hillbilly" today called C&W (Country & Western) had distribution pnly on wedy and douth. There were also dane band and Irish songs seeing New England.
Alex: I found a copy of Sittin' And Whittlin" about 40 years ago. I've never seen another of the Hays recordings. Records in the Victor V-4000 series are very rare. I have only about 25 records in this series and they are all great. Some of Duke Ellington's records are in this series.
Now and then Victor would put a regional, white dance band on this series if they did not want to sell the record nationally. Paul Tremaine, Slim Lamar and Doc Daugherty all had releases in the 40k bloc.
And please, by crap like this, I mean these groups of 3 or 4 songs that go nowhere fast, not the singers I mentioned, aside from I.Kaufman the wretched. There seems to be an overabundance of 20's dance music on here lately... Listen to Sunny Side Up, Hallelujah, Black Beauty(Ellington), Cliff Edwards, Annette Hanshaw, but unless you have a tin ear, which plenty of collectors must have, you will eventually see the dif between catchy memorable songs and strictly tin pan alley 🎳 stuff. Of course, your 'jazz purists' will think if it ain't black, it doesn't have value. In the long run, People won't care if it's Whiteman or McKinney's Cotton Pickers as long as it is a good tune. GD
Part of what you say is unclear to me. Are you claiming that recordings like “Sunny Side Up” (I’m thinking of the Frank Trumbauer version) is “strictly Tin Pan Alley stuff”, or its opposite? As for whether there is an “overabundance” of one kind of music or another on Prozoot’s channel, different people have different tastes and preferences, whether good or bad. Seems to me there is room for everything. There are things here I am crazy about, and other things not so much. If you don’t like something, that is a problem easily solved: Don’t listen to it!
@@odietamo9376 The opposite. Sunny Side Up is a classic, though not heard much today. If you listen to a record for a half-minute, you'll know if it's worth listening to or not. I was referring to the internet as a whole. You have to listen for long enough to tell if an old record is good, obviously. Thumpety-thump rhyming with Bumpity-bump does not portend well for a song... this whole group just happened to be iffy...🐸 P.S. If you haven't, yet, listen to a song called 'the ghost who never walked' (sung by Billy Murray) and tell me if it qualifies as music... some seem to think it good. Beyond me. I'm off to listen to Sunny Side Up by Frank Trumbauer. I'm sure it'll be great! 🐸
@@georgedabrowski6900 Thanks for clearing it up, now I understand, and in fact I agree with you. I will also look up the song you mentioned. As for the Trumbauer version of “Sunny Side Up”, the best sounding one is here on Prozoot. (How that guy remasters 78s is amazing.) There is so much, musically, going simultaneously in Trumbauer’s recording that I can never get over it. I have listened to it countless times, and still do. Also, it, well, it rocks. Not only that, unless you’re wheelchair bound, I don’t think it’s possible to listen to it and keep still. It makes me start dancing around the room even if I don’t want to.
@@odietamo9376 Thank you. To me, the Trumbauer is a little too busy, but I was listening to the version with Frank Luther for years before they used it in the movie, so I'm used to its straightforward approach, though the vocal does improve on the straight lyrics, I imagine. Also, always check your speed by ear: I was able to get Dickie Lagerman, (who did a radio show from his alma mater, I believe, for years with his 75,000 + collection) to slow a record down before he played it, then adjust the speed upward till it (and the vocalist, especially) sounded right. Makes a big difference sometimes. 🐸
@@georgedabrowski6900 Well, it’s all a matter of preference, isn’t it. What I like about the Trumbauer version is what a complex and swinging arrangement it is. There are SO MANY things going on at the same time, different instruments doing a variety of things in the background, which I only began to appreciate upon repeated listenings. It also strikes me as an arrangement that so expresses the lyrics. It is so happy and sunny and enthusiastic! Finally, Trumbauer’s saxophone solos, to me, have what I can only call humor. I never tire of it. By the way, what movie are you referring to? Thanks for the speed tip, too.

....you are related to jazz royalty!
Die schöne Musik könnte man jeden Tag hören ein Dankeschön den Initiatoren.
....danke, Heinz -- so glücklich zu wissen, dass dir die Musik gefällt!
Very pleasing
Just Love this Music.
For a 1929 recording. excellent Quality.
I'll say = and how!

I really want to know the catalog numbers of these records
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Super excellent
These are just too DIE FOR!!
Dancing away!
i cant be so much happier than today playlist ohhhhhhhhhhhh takes me back joke haha
I bet a lot more people have heard these sides on this channel than ever did from buying the original 78s in 1929 :-)
I'm betting you right.
Only 10 of them, and Billy! Terrific stuff. {correction: 11)
Delightful
One of many new electric recordings from the 20's
Thank you mate..!
Greetings from Paris..F.
I have a Few Jazz and Dance Orchestra Victor Records that use the Country, Hillbilly 40,000 Numbers! I wonder Why? I LOVE These!
You are the most amazing person to share all these beautiful records from the greatest music period.
Billy Hays? A new name to me...but a fine band indeed...I haven’t heard “When Carolina Smiles”...very nice...thanks for sharing!
He recorded briefly for Victor in the spring of 1929. His total recorded output between 1928 and 1931 isn't much.
Благодарю.
Very cool!

Always fantastic as so many times before! Thank you and best regards from Germany! :-)
.....thank you, Andreas. Your kind words are always appreciated. And best regards from Palm Springs!
Just picked up "My Sugar And Me"
PROZOOT who are yu and where do yu hide? Merci beaucoup for more informations from yu! Emmanuel from PARIS FRANCE
He is based in Southern California. Palm Springs, I think.
Excellent transfer. Would you mind telling how you went about it please? as I am enjoying he clarity.
Why on Earth did Victor hide these sides on such strange numbered-issues, which presumably were only available by special order or in limited areas?

This "AdRev for Rights Holder" Deserves to burn in hell for claiming and putting advertisements on these videos...
The music is nice but their is a constant high pitch noise that is irritating,
You must have the sensitive ears of a canine - lucky you!
