Cadging recherché early 30s Euro-jazz off YouTube. Euro-jazz in that pre-Hot Club era was actually more American - ie jazzier and more up-tempo - than you could get away with back home, where hot music was a painful memory of better times.

March of the Hoodlums - Gus Deloof and His Racketeers, Brussels 1931
Hoagy Carmichael's tune and arrangement, as recorded by Ellington in '29.

Orient Express - Hans Bund mit seinem Tanz-Orchester, Berlin 1933
This is what they were listening to when we were playing The Last Round-Up.

Goofus - Paul Godwin Tanz-Orchester, Berlin 1932
Pretty much the domestic version, except there's a bass sax solo. Most bass saxes in New York were in pawn and their owners sleeping in the cases.

78s to wait around for a phone call by --

Now playing, Jimmy Dorsey and his Orchestra in 1937 with one of the best pop tunes of the year, "The Moon Got In My Eyes." A very callow and off-key Bob Eberly makes a desperate stab at the vocal, and makes you realize how much better the Dorsey-Bing Crosby version of this tune is.

Next up, Artie Shaw and his Orchestra in 1938 with a very appropriate selection on this icy morning, "There's Frost On The Moon." A frost-dispelling arrangement with the unjustly-forgotten Peg LaCentra swinging the vocal.

Old & In the Way - Breakdown recorded live at The Boarding House, San Francisco, October 1973. Vassar Clements - fiddle, Jerry Garcia - banjo & vocals, David Grisman - mandolin & vocals, John Kahn - acoustic bass, and Peter Rowan - guitar & vocals. Recorded by Owsley Stanley & Victoria Babcock. Produced by David Grisman.

Back in '73, these guys were playing a different kind of bluegrass. It came to be known as hippiegrass and introduced bluegrass to a whole new audience in the 70's and 80's. Good stuff.

After viewing Adele on Saturday Night Live a couple of weeks ago, I picked up her CD, Adele 19, over the weekend- she has such an amazing voice! I also listened to Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder's Tribute to the Masters of Bluegrass, 1946-47- this is truly classic Bluegrass performed at it's contemporary finest. As a side note-the liner notes also have some cool pics of a young Bill Monroe and his Bluegrass Boys, looking mighty stylish in their 40's attire, complete with dress hats.

I have no personal favourites at the moment (usually I go through stages!) but instead am slowly browsing though this website

It's a wonderful source, though I'm sure many of you have already found it!
