Comment:
(2 of 2 discs)
Way, way back at the dawn of recorded music, there was a lot of excitement in the air - or at least that's what I conclude from the musical evidence. And why not? a booming economy, this new mass media called radio, a mass market for phonograph records - no wonder so much talent was drawn into the music business. On top of that you've got your youth rebellion, your changing sex roles, there was a lot going on.
Lots of very witty lyrics in those days, but what I mostly notice are the amazingly catchy melodies!
Possibly overrepresented here is Paul Whiteman, who takes a lot of music-history flak for so perfectly living up to his name, but hey, he was the "King of Jazz" for the mass market, and he really did know how to sell a tune. I think he's still fun to listen to almost a century later.
Feedback:
Wow - what a set! I feel so educated.
Despite the fact that I am known as a psych-head hippy mixer, I can't get enough of that old-timey jazz. Something about the way the instruments were played and the whole sound knocks me out everytime. Great mix!
This two disc set is terrific Jeff and elevates the music mixes on this site to a new high. The past is the foundation block on which to build the future. Louis Armstrong and The Hot Fives always gets me going when I think of the '20s music.
This looks really interesting. Let's trade (again) sometime.
A great double set!! Yowsa, yowsa, yowsa!
Didn't you hear me the first time?!
'Collegiate' is such a happily cheesy song, I'm smiling just humming it. Happy Thanksgiving, JdeV...
A real nice combo.
Don't own a sausage here but am familiar with nearly everything via my old mate Ralf (an Englishman living out here born in the 20's) What he don't know about this era ain't worth knowing. Gets me smashed on Cognac each time I visit him, then out come the old 78's - Fantastic.
Excellent work Mr de Vivre.
This looks really fun and edumacational too!
