Thank you for a brilliant video and transfer of this rare recording. What a lesson in performance practice!!! I would love to know who the trumpet and trombone soloists were.
+Rose Red You might find this interesting, if you haven't already in fact encountered it. www.nytimes.com/2016/03/02/theater/have-we-been-playing-gershwin-wrong-for-70-years.html?smid=fb-share&_r=0
Intersting recording from an era when tempo was not dictated by the composer or the conductor. The three minute limit per side often required tempo adjustments so each record side ended in an appropriate place. I enjoyed this even thou it was generally played faster than currently done.
This went to #7 on the national charts (US) in 1929!
