Estoy Loco Por La Bocina Del Automovil - Adolfo Carabelli

This is by one of the best of the local Jazzbands, and the tune is no other than "I'm Wild about horns on automobiles", in a less comic vein than other USA bands used to play (Fred Hall, for example), attaining a more serious approach of a title anyway not well suited to the jazz idiom. Recorded 18 January 1930 in Buenos Aires

El Baile De Los Negritos - Benny Goodman

A big band recording by one of the most famous orchestra leaders of the time: the "King Of Swing". This "Darktown Strutters' Ball" issued here sure struts and has also the polished sound of Goodman's Columbia period with all the new sounds of this later-swing style. Recorded in NYC, 15 Jan. 1942.

Toques Sinfónicos - Carroll Dickerson

This was recorded 5th July 1928 in Chicago and released only in Argentina, first in the Odeon 193000 series. The record shown is a somewhat later issue, but being a master pressing its sound is as good as the earlier. A rare record indeed, with the advantage of being one of Armstrong's finest recordings.

Canción de septiembre - Héctor y su Gran Orquesta de Jazz

"CANCION DE SEPTIEMBRE" played by "Hector y su gran Orquesta de Jazz" is the spanish translation for "SEPTEMBER SONG", waxed circa Feb. 1952 in Buenos Aires, and comes from a copy of Victor 68-0255. This big band recorded extensively around this period, so will upload in the future some more with jazz merit.

Baby Won't You Please Come Home - McKinney's Cotton Pickers

A superb recording from the band led by Don Redman, The Mc Kinney's Cotton Pickers: "BABY WON'T YOU PLEASE COME HOME", featuring his own vocal, recorded in Camden, July 28 l930 and from a copy of another local pressing, Victor 62-0084-B.

Indiana - Art Hodes y su Orquesta

This one is a good example of the revival style that started in the early forties, Art Hodes and his Orchestra, featuring the leader's barrelhouse piano , and the clarinet of Rod Cless, much in the Teschemacher vein. Recorded in NYC March 17, 1942. We hear his version of "INDIANA" from a copy of Odeon 286227-B released in Argentina.

China Boy-Red Nichols y sus Cinco Peniques

A powerful version of this well-known Jazz classic: "CHINA BOY" waxed by Red Nichols and his Five Pennies. The sound comes from a copy of Brunswick 4877, recorded in NYC, 7 Feb. 1930
