YouTube - Roaring 20s: Abe Lyman's Sharps & Flats - San, 1928 |
YouTubeのページへ |
Here's another amazing recording of this wonderful orchestra. It's original brand name was Abe Lyman's California Ambassador Hotel Orchestra, but they also recorded as "Abe Lyman's Sharps and Flats". The lyrics of the Lindsay McPhail & Walter Michels' song "San" (1920) -here presented in an instrumantal version - are "the Japanese love story", so I made also a slideshow composed of the vintage Japanese posters. To see more of the astonishing possibilities of Abe Lyman's orchestra - sometimes it's difficult to believe, they played so in the Roaring Twenties, and not in the roick'n roll era - it's worth browsing a little thru You Tube collections, e.g. the fantastic movie with three tunes played by Abe Lyman's band, Merrihew upoloaded http://pl.youtube.com/watch?v=jRwtiu8... , the 1926 tune "Shake That Thing" at kspm's site http://pl.youtube.com/watch?v=2D06FSF... a very early recording "Queen Of Egypt" (1923) http://pl.youtube.com/watch?v=Znk7Rg1... or soft and lovely "Never Swat A Fly" http://pl.youtube.com/watch?v=gfu4jw8... |
