DESCRIPTION:
A nice all-star lineup on this record, waxed Dec. 4, 1924 at the Brunswick studios in New York City. Phil Napoleon, trumpet; Miff Mole, trombone; Chuck Miller, clarinet; Frank Trumbauer, c-melody sax; Rube Bloom, piano; John Cali, banjo; Joe Tarto, tuba; Harry Lottman, drums. Terrific trombone solo by Miff Mole.
Played back on a Victor Orthophonic Victrola, Mode. 4-4E, the "Granada", circa 1926. This model was equipped with the special Orthophonic diaphragm and soundbox that was specifically designed to play back electrically recorded phonograph records. But it also came equipped with an electric motor instead of a spring would mechanism. A medium tone phonograph needle was used for playback, and the Victrola horn was recorded using a Shure SM571 compact dynamic microphone.
