Great Day - Paul Whiteman y su orquesta

Paul Whiteman recorded this tune on New York, October 9, 1929. Featured are the vocal of Whiteman's Rhythm boys, among them Bing Crosby. This particular record was done right after Bix Beiderbecke left the band, not to return forever after the september 13th session, which was his last with the Whiteman group.

Te Desafío - René Denies

Another fine local Jazz band, in this case from the swing era, the Rene Denies one, making one little known but lively version of "I Double Dare You" that I suspect will be a surprise to many, including the vocal that sounds fine to my ear. Perhaps English or American ears may feel is not so, so comments (serious) are welcomed. Recorded May 1938 in Buenos Aires.

Rumba Negro - Bennie Moten y su orquesta

This recording was made in chicago, 23 Oct. 1929, and is a high quality jazz example of its period, if well locally in a magazine called "Phonos" it didn't have a good review in its time. Opinions change a lot as time goes by.

Dixie Jamboree - Fred Rich y su orquesta

This Fred Rich recording is one of the most accomplished tunes he recorded, and have been reissued several times, on Lp and CD, a fact that proves the interest it has for the jazz fans. Was recorded in New York on Nov. 15. 1929 (it's the vocal version) and features The Dorsey brothers and the tinkling piano of arthur Schutt behind the Rollickers vocal.

Sophomore Prom

Our country may have been issued the bigger amount of Victor records in the world (at least the ones bearing the "Industria Argentina" legend) and this particular one gives account of one of the most consistent white "hot" bands of the period in the USA, as the Ted Weems Victor Records are all listed in the jazz discographies until 1934.

Jalousie - Amapola - Ray Nolan y su orquesta

Ray Nolan (real name Tito Colom) played string bass and led this fine group during the mid fifties and featured Dante Amicarelli on piano, Marito Cosentino on clarinet and Dante Varela on Tenor sax, all top musicians of the period. This is a kind of LP record, playing two tunes a side but running at 78 RPM, listed in some local discographies as an LP record.

Santa Paula Serenaders - It's a pitty to say goodnight

The Santa Paula Serenaders, directed by Raúl Sánchez Reinoso, was one of the best Argentine jazz groups to play during the 30's & 40's. "No me digas Buenas Noches" (translated in the label) was recorded in Buenos Aires May 7, 1945.
