Danny Dougherty and Bernie Grossman wrote this tune in late 1925, and it was promptly recorded for many labels - this is the version recorded for Cameo on October 2 of that same year. The bandleader, Mike Speciale, led the house band at the Hotel Carlton in New York (on East 29th). The band made a number of sides for Edison around this time, but also made a few for Cameo apparently. His band rips into this tune and does a great job with it - the trumpet work near the end is a highlight. This record got played a lot, so it took some time to clean it up with noise reduction - in the process, what started out sounding like an acoustic record blossomed into what must be a very early electric recording (there is some distortion that no acoustic recording would exhibit, and a fair amount of bass response was also revealed). In the end, after some EQ and noise reduction, a very listenable record indeed. |
