Comparing this recording with contemporary recordings of the same arrangement of this number shows how good these musicians were. OK, they were working 5-6 nights per week and recording during the day, but they were just so much better.
David, I'm a great admirer of your father's talent, but I never knew he was with Hylton. I know he made his debut with Jack Jackson, then found his fame with Roy Fox and later Bert Ambrose, but where did Jack Hylton fit in? I'm also interested in your uncle, Barry Gray, who had a very distinctive style, but almost nothing seems to have been written about his career. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
I have just seen your comment. Deny was one of the top vocalists of the era. Would you be able to tell us a little about him? Perhaps you have already somewhere on the Web? Thanks
I hear this every time, I use the train. Preferably sleeper cars in Europe. Im not able to use a plane! I detest it by heart! Although, "Me and Jane in a Plane..."😃
This performance is stunning! Thanks for your mastery of the piano, and for sharing the greatness of Joe Sanders! I think I have discovered another "lost" 78 of Coon Sanders for you to enjoy and scrutinize! Its a late 1928 performance on a Broadway label. One of those "other label" cuts that was purposefully played to sound generic, rather than recognizable as Coon Sanders, but after the vocal, their style becomes apparent! Tune is that wonderful "Withered Roses " and it was just uploaded at roybo1930. Label uses phseudonym Manhattan Serenaders, I believe . Go see ! 😊
Unless I misunderstand your "yelling" reference. The solo vocalist is Pat O'Malley who also makes the train announcements. I don't see Sarony in this Pathe clip. It is fascinating to see how vocalists and musicians had to move about and bob up and down to get good balance on the single (Westrex 1B carbon button?) microphone. (The band discipline is amazing/shocking: how they chat etc when they are not playing! See the close up on the O'Malley, D'Amato, Hylton, Ternant quartet @ 1' 13".)
You do not understand. The film came with an original soundtrack. I uploaded that version. But I also synchronised the film with the sound of the HMV record issue. That is THIS version.
Pat O'Malley would go on to have a very long career on Broadway, TV and animated works including as Bert Beasley in Maude using J. Pat O'Malley beginning in the 1940s.
The person with the sleeveless pullover, who is standing between vocalist Pat O'Malley and Jack Hylton, is guitar and banjo player Sonny Farrar. If you play the video you'll see him stop playing his instrument to move to the microphone at the front.
Is that Billy Ternent on the right of the backing vocal group next to Jack Hylton, who a little later takes some of the percussion with the drummer? I've owned this 78 for over 40 years - great to see the film of it being recorded! Thanks Harry.
when pathe filmed it, im wondering if that was the final take that was issued? i'm just comparing both takes from the film sound track and the one that is issued
It looked they had fun! Who is the small man between Pat and Jack in the vocal group? He is in a lot of old Hylton photos. Amazing to think that Pat O'Malley was in the Jungle book (at least his voice was). If the record is different it might be Lesley Sarony at the start, it certainly sounds like him.
It's Jack Plant. If you read the text above you will see that I synchronised the HMV record with the film. But I also uploaded the film with the original sound - same vocal quartet. Leslie Sarony does the talking.
Thanks for the reply, I had read the above, I think I was talking at cross purposes! Who made up the singing vocals with Pat and Jack? Is Billy Ternent at the back writing? Looks like Paul Fenoulet on 2nd trombone and Billy Munn on the piano.

Fantastic sound from just one microphone! Would not have been possible today!
There was another mike next to the tuba player; maybe more!
I Love Jack Hylton, so much fun, the co-operative fellow musicians must have been a blast!~
I will upload this again - for some reason this video has lost a lot of image quality; it was much better when I uploaded it 15 years ago....
My Father Deny Dennis used to sing in the Jack Hylton band!!
David Gray I was playing a record with vocalist Deny Dennis tonight. Wow he was your dad, how wonderful
Wow!

Your father is legend, he is singing this song? m.ua-cam.com/video/MoHLs990iKs/v-deo.html
How cool is this! We just aren't making anything like we used to, are we?
Have you seen the recent number one on the UK charts “body”. Total 5h1te
Amazing music...and wonderful orchestra!!!
Damals wusste man noch wie man richtige Musik komponiert. Einfach nur Klasse Musik die man sich jeden Tag anhören kann:)
Top drawer. The ƒƒƒ coda when they reprise the melody a step up is the greatest.
Jack Hylton and Jack Payne rocks!
@TheAndrewlawton I'm a sousaphone player myself - and much admire Clem; he was one of the best. Thanks for reacting!

Amazing insight into performance
Practice . Bowing liver recorded
Very nice!
Thanks for uploading.
Great music!
Great!! Thank you very much.
The 78 rpm record with this song is very rare.Been looking for it also
1931 was a very tough year for record sales, with 1932 being one of the worst. It's no surprise that it is hard to find.
@@thatrecord5313 True. But finally I found one.
@ NO WAY!
...tsk....
lucky...

Excellent
That's Leslie Sarony yelling his head off at the start. He was also a character actor who appeared in The Sweeney in the 1970s.
Блестяще!!
Pat O'Malley would go on to have a very long career on Broadway, TV and animated works including as Bert Beasley in Maude using J. Pat O'Malley beginning in the 1940s.
Very good
Delightful

Great version comparable to jack Payne's BBC Orch.
😊
Wish I could get an original copy of this on 78 rpm
Where oh where could I get a 78rpm of this? Been try for years to find an original of this. great song.
Is that Billy Ternent on the right of the backing vocal group next to Jack Hylton, who a little later takes some of the percussion with the drummer? I've owned this 78 for over 40 years - great to see the film of it being recorded! Thanks Harry.
I thing the sax player at about 1:50 is EO poggy Pogson
Quina meravella 😀😀
when pathe filmed it, im wondering if that was the final take that was issued?
i'm just comparing both takes from the film sound track and the one that is issued
Lyrics?
.Iive or recorded
Where may I read the lyrics to "Choo Choo" ?
