Again, a fine record by other jazz great, Armstrong' mentor King Oliver. In spite of not being from a period considered for some specialists Oliver's best period, the recording is up and beyond the best jazz standards of the period. The date is on the label, as well as the personnel, but, for American people, I warn you that it reads day/month/year. A reissue from master pressing circa late 40's/early fifties.
Paul Whiteman recorded this tune on New York, October 9, 1929. Featured are the vocal of Whiteman's Rhythm boys, among them Bing Crosby. This particular record was done right after Bix Beiderbecke left the band, not to return forever after the september 13th session, which was his last with the Whiteman group.
Another fine local Jazz band, in this case from the swing era, the Rene Denies one, making one little known but lively version of "I Double Dare You" that I suspect will be a surprise to many, including the vocal that sounds fine to my ear. Perhaps English or American ears may feel is not so, so comments (serious) are welcomed. Recorded May 1938 in Buenos Aires.
This recording was made in chicago, 23 Oct. 1929, and is a high quality jazz example of its period, if well locally in a magazine called "Phonos" it didn't have a good review in its time. Opinions change a lot as time goes by.
