    Amazing to see some legendary white jazzers and their techniques and body language/deportment. Jimmy Dorsey does his virtuoso set-piece, which I first heard in "That's No Bargain". Miff Mole seemingly shy & angular. Nat Brusiloff & Georgie Stoll showing-off with the two most radical violin techniques - which were never acknowledged in the classical pedagogy. Jimmy Lytell, one of the most promising of the young, early white jazzers - who gave up creative music for a secure life in the studios reading charts all day. Leo McConville one of the most ardent admirers of Bix. Meanwhile, who remembers Walter Roesner??? So much $$ and so much talent invested in this odd short film. Thank you all -

    I'm surprised that no one identified the drummer as the great Vic Berton - playing cymbals and snares in front of him and the hot tympani behind his back. This was confirmed to me many years ago by his younger brother Ralph, who was my friend for the last 20 years of his life, when I sent him a copy of this video when it appeared on TBS. It's also confirmed at the IMDb database here: www.imdb.com/title/tt1827582/ Roesner mostly conducted his band in San Francisco, but was so popular on the Shell Happytime radio show that he was lured to the Capitol Theater in New York for two years. By the way, the reason why both Vic and Miff Mole are wearing fake mustaches is that, at the time, they were both under contract to the Roger Wolfe Kahn Orchestra and so tried to disguise themselves. But please add Vic's name to the video! He and Baby Dodds were the two most important jazz drummers of the 1920s!

    • @hanseekhoff1093
      @hanseekhoff1093 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      This guy doesn't look like Vic Berton at all. Even if Ralph Berton identified him that still doesn't prove it - Ralph was a notorious fantasist as his nonsensical book about Bix confirms. It's tempting to think that this drummer is Vic Berton - but it isn't.

Mayyyybe Vic Moore before his ill-fated trip to France with George Carhart's aggregation (July, 1928), but that's a long shot, I know! Any other suggestions? Whoever he his, he certainly learned from Burton, as they all did!

    • @andrewbarrett1537
      @andrewbarrett1537 ปีที่แล้ว

      Well maybe it was, but at any rate, one of Frank Signorelli’s two known piano solos recorded in the 1920s and unfortunately unissued (I don’t know whether the masters and/or test pressings exist- I hope so!!!) is labeled in the files “A Blues Serenade”. The other solo was “Goose Pimples”. Both recorded in full band versions of course but I would have loved to hear what Mr Signorelli did with them. His later (1940s and 1950s) solo recordings are very good of course. He was one of the best recorded white jazz pianists from the 1920s and in my opinion one of the most musical, with a lovely touch and tone. Of course he did not pioneer THE STYLE with which many of these pianists played. I believe that was pioneered (invented?) by Arthur Schutt as far back as his earliest recordings and piano rolls in 1922 (we don’t know when Schutt started playing like this). Interestingly, while such important pianists in this manner like Signorelli and Earl Hines play DIFFERENTLY on their earliest recordings, before picking up on “the style”, Schutt was playing in this way all along from the very earliest recording, which is why I credit him as the pioneer. Also, in his autobiography, John Hammond noted that Schutt was his own first “discovery”.
