Bluesnik will love this - a whole section of accordions in this big band!
Never-the-less, it is fascinating to hear a music video from this age and the whole clip is just worthwhile watching to count up the number of unusual or non-jazz instruments such as a harp and a bassoon. This must be one of the first times a saxophone section chorus was scored solely for sopranos. The music isn't too great but this will offer a different perception of the 1920's for anyone who has ever listened to jazz before. Never heard of this band. The trombonist (Paula Jones ) is actually pretty good.
