Boots And Saddle - I would do anything for You

“Boots And Saddle”:

This particular tune has appeared in 78 form only in Argentina in Odeon 284465. I think it has been reissued on Cd somewhere but, of course, the only source for this is the Argentine Odeon pressing presented here, and, by the way, is not a master pressing, as it has the small etched matrix Nº 90541-A as opposed to the italic etched numbers that denote a master pressing. This was recorded on Dec. 21, 1935, and I don’t know the reason for this being a dub, as other decca Art Tatum records on Odeon are matrix pressings. Anyway, no matter what it’s a dub, the sound is pretty good even considering that. It’s a high quality dub, no question about it.

The coupling of this record is “I would do Anything For You” recorded Oct. 9, 1934.

This record has a peculiarity that I mention in its commentary, so check it also.

  “I would do anything for You”:

This tune is coupled with “Boots and Saddle” that I also comment in its section, but the thing about it is that this tune also appears on Odeon 286341-B (38388-C), a record not mentioned in Rust’s discography even in the last (2007) edition of it. Its coupling is “Indiana” (DLA 2071) recorded July 26, 1940 and for this title in fact Rust mentions this Odeon release. Well, if he received the  data about Odeon 286341 ¿why he didn’t got the data about the two sides of the record?  It’s kind of a mystery that I will let you people solve if you may.

The name of this group doesn't suggest anything related to jazz, but , as can be heard, they play quite good jazz of the period. The vocalist is Charlie Robbins and the record was recorded on January 16. 1953 in Buenos Aires and pressed by Pampa,what is believed to be a subsidiary of the local Odeon label at that time.

Té Para Dos - Orquesta Benson

This is an strange coupling of The Benson Orchestra Of Chicago, labeled "Orquesta Benson" .

This acoustic recording was made 28 August 1924 in NYC.

Esparciendo Ritmo en Derredor - Bob Howard

ESPARCIENDO RITMO EN DERREDOR" is the equivalent of "SPREADIN' RHYTHM AROUND", and we hear this tune played by Bob Howard and his Orchestra, much in the Waller vocal style by the way, and often surrounded by good jazz musicians of the period. The sound comes from Odeon 284108 and was recorded in NYC 10 Feb. 1936.

Dulce Lorena - Nat "King" Cole Trío

The famous Nat "King Cole" waxed 6 Feb. 1940 in Los Angeles with his trio this version of "SWEET LORRAINE", labeled "DULCE LORENA" in this Argentine Decca 333387 issue. This was when Cole still played jazz and was not devoted to popular singing.

A Mi Mamacita - Orquesta Ben Bernie

Another curiosity from local issues: This is a non-vocal version of the standard USA Brunswick version of the same "To My Mammy" recorded about March 1930. If well not listed in the Jazz Discographies, the inclusion of a hot solo in place of the vocal adds even a stronger jazz sound, anyway present from the start of the record, a fine one from the well known Ben Bernie Orchestra.

Cow Cow Blues -Bob Zurke y su Banda de Ritmo Delta

A remarkable recording from Bob Zurke's Delta Rhythm Band: "COW COW BLUES", labeled in spanish "Bob Zurke y su banda de ritmo delta". His leader was much praised by Jelly Roll Morton as being a pianist with a superb left hand. The sound comes from a copy of Arg Victor 26646, waxed May 8, 1940 in NYC.
