Description
HERE'S territory jazz truly from the wild: IKE RAGON AND HIS ORCHESTRA, from Hot Springs, Arkansas in 1937, demonstrate why some folks love the hot water. "MAPLE LEAF RAG," Joplin's perennial piece, gets a swing makeover here. "SLAP THAT BASS," from the RKO Astaire-Rogers picture "Shall We Dance?," was written by the Gershwin brothers, and chances are that neither they nor Fred nor Ginger would recognize it at first, but brother does it swing!
This original 1937 blue-label Vocalion 03513 is in tidy E condition - hardly a mark on 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.
