A Mi Mamacita - Orquesta Ben Bernie
Another curiosity from local issues: This is a
non-vocal version of the standard USA Brunswick version of the same "To My Mammy" recorded about
March 1930. If well not listed in the Jazz Discographies, the inclusion of a hot solo in place of
the vocal adds even a stronger jazz sound, anyway present from the start of the record, a fine
one from the well known Ben Bernie Orchestra.

Cow Cow Blues -Bob Zurke y su Banda de Ritmo Delta
A remarkable recording from Bob Zurke's Delta

sound comes from a copy of Arg Victor 26646, waxed May 8, 1940 in NYC.

Cristobal Colón - Bob Crosby y su Orquesta
This recording by Bob Crosby and his orchestra

Estoy Loco Por La Bocina Del Automovil - Adolfo Carabelli
This is by one of the best of the local
Jazzbands, and the tune is no other than "I'm Wild about horns on automobiles", in a less
comic vein than other USA bands used to play (Fred Hall, for example), attaining a more
serious approach of a title anyway not well suited to the jazz idiom. Recorded 18 January
1930 in Buenos Aires

El Baile De Los Negritos - Benny Goodman
A big band recording by one of the most famous
orchestra leaders of the time: the "King Of Swing". This "Darktown Strutters' Ball" issued here
sure struts and has also the polished sound of Goodman's Columbia period with all the new sounds
of this later-swing style. Recorded in NYC, 15 Jan. 1942.

Toques Sinfónicos - Carroll Dickerson
This was recorded 5th July 1928 in Chicago
and released only in Argentina, first in the Odeon 193000 series. The record shown is a
somewhat later issue, but being a master pressing its sound is as good as the earlier.
A rare record indeed, with the advantage of being one of Armstrong's finest recordings.
