DESCRIPTION:
Edison Re-Creation (DD) 51104-R, "Dumbell" (Zez Confrey) Fox-Trot, Broadway Dance Orchestra. Recorded July 12, 1922. Played on my Edison Diamond Disc Phonograph, H-19 (Heppelwhite).

For this clip we tried an experiment. We recorded the audio and video separately. The audio with the lid closed, the grille removed and the camera at the same height as the horn. The video elevated to give a better view of the machine's operation.

Please take a moment to read the interesting mini-bio that Naxos has on Zez Confrey:

I enjoyed it.
