From the same year, Duke Ellington and Showboat Shuffle. They get a rhythm going that I can't describe. Whatever it is, it's not a shuffle, altho the intro does give the feel of rocking on a big boat.
Click Duke to play. Note snappy beltback.
They're the Song-o-pators, who recorded with Red's Chicago-based road band in 1934. This is probably that band in the film, altho some Tuber claimed Benny Goodman was sitting in on clarinet. (I disagree.)tbrunke said:Does anyone know who the three male singers are with Red Nichols in this video?

Red returned to New York in early '35 to begin conducting a radio program, Kellogg's College Prom.
Two you may miss - not well known - are the 1935-'36 radio ETs by this particular band (on the CIRCLE label), and the 1939 RCA recording band (on the HEP label). Not as hot as the 20s stuff but very good listening.tbrunke said:Thanks for the info. Fletch. I have been listening to alot more of Red Nichols lately and trying to find some good CD's out there of his recordings.
They worked together in 1929-'30 and that was it, AFAIK.I would have to agree that Benny was probably not sitting in.
