This Brunswick version of ‘Mood Indigo’ is the second of three Ellington recorded in late 1930. Again, all of these versions are unique and worth acquiring, but this seven-piece more… ‘Jungle Band’ version is the one to start with. The horns begin by painting a slow, muted picture on top of a subdued but persistent rhythm section. Then clarinetist Barney Bigard steals the show with the first solo, giving a performance that shows that hot and sweet are not mutually exclusive. Even when he dramatically soars to the highest register – and squeaks on the way back down – it sounds like he is floating weightlessly. The trumpet solo by Arthur Whetsol continues in the same minimalistic but beautiful vein, and then after a brief interlude by Ellington, the horns come together again for the mellow wrap-up.

An excellent couple of tracks from a much larger record set released as ‘Cuban Rhythms’ by Musicraft. Excellent, uplifting latin and cubin beats with minimal singing. Would have more… been great to dance with. Excellently recorded by Musicraft from 1942.

By 1930, the tuberculosis-stricken former railroad worker and blackface performer Jimmie Rodgers was a certified star. His ‘blue yodel’ 78rpms sold millions – and this one above is more… no exception. Often referred as the Father of Country Music, this Victor issue (1928), (there are at least 7 re-issues on 78rpm of this recording), is considered one of his best of that genre.
Other re-issues:
Zonophone (England) 5283,
Regal Zonophone (England) T 5283,
Regal Zonophone (Australia) G23114,
Regal Zonophone (Ireland) IZ 315,
His Master’s Voice (Australia) EA 1540,
His Master’s Voice (India) N 4291

This 78rpm is a great little foot stomper, and the sound from 1921 (acoustic); although a little distant; is a little ripper! Highly collectable!

The ‘Viennese Symphony Orchestra’ was possibly a pseudonym of the Vienna Symphony, and the recording was made up of members of that orchestra. During the time of the recording, more… Hugo Gottesmann (1929–1933) was possibly the unnamed conductor on the record?

The Jungle Band was a pseudonym for Duke Ellington’s band. Used by the band to record for Brunswick and other labels after they signed an exclusive contract to record as Duke more… Ellington and his Orchestra with Victor.
