Description
On the rare "CROWN" label, here are two red-hot performances by FLETCHER HENDERSON AND HIS ORCHESTRA, a.k.a. CONNIE'S INN ORCHESTRA.
"BLUE RHYTHM" and "YOU RASCAL YOU" both move like lightning, and showcase many of the heavyweight Henderson soloists, like J. C. HIGGINBOTHAM (trombone), EDGAR SAMPSON (alto sax), REX STEWART (cornet) and COLEMAN HAWKINS (tenor sax).
"Rascal" also has a radio-announcer-style introduction by Fletcher Henderson himself, the only recording of his voice of which I'm aware.
This original 1931 Crown 3180 is in slightly beat VV+ condition; some wear. Still plenty of life in it!
*****
These records come from my private collection, which I have been accumulating since 1967, and now am downsizing! My highest priority in these eBay auctions is to give you the best possible idea of a record’s true condition and aesthetic value. I always post at least four clear images, showing the record fore and aft, a close-up of the label, and the whole disc, warts and all. If my purple prose won’t cut it, the pictures will! Shipping is done with expert care. Your record will brave Media Mail in a stout corregated box, between four sheets of cardboard and a couple of “packers.” I hope you are amused by these descriptions, and by the quality of service being offered.
