"Stumbling"

by Earl Randolph and his orchestra

Joseph Samuels and his band made this record for Paramount under a pseudonym (thanks to Luis for sending me that bit of info). They deliver a well-played version of Zez Confrey's piano classic, recorded in April of 1922 and released on the "popular" 20000 series. No solos to speak of, but a very nice version of a piece that not everyone can play. The engineers did a nice job recording this; there's more bass response than one would expect from 1922 and the signal is good and loud so groove noise is less of a problem. The record itself had not been played very much so once the crackle was dealt with the results are very smooth.
