Comments and Reviews


xiphophilos 8th Jul 2023		I don't hear a trumpet, but definitely saxophone(s) on both sides (in addition to violins, piano, guitar, bass, drums, and what is probably a celesta). On "Hello Beautiful, the alto saxophone has solos between 1:20-1:29, 1:50-2:09, 2:20-2:27. At 2:51-3:00 is a clarinet solo. On "One Little Raindrop", the celesta starts solo and is then joined by a sax at 0:06-0:16. Ross Laird, Brunswick Records, page 827, gives the personnel as 3 violins, 3 saxes, guitar, piano, bass, drums (he leaves out the celesta, but it's audible on both sides). Here's a fascinating video on the history and production of celestas:



C Porter1 8th Jul 2023		This record has previously been reported to have brass in the personnel by Rust and others decades ago. But it's clear that they never obtained this record to listen to, as both sides feature no brass. No George McGhee or Jack Stacey ever was part of the creation of this. However there was two other sides by the Osborne orchestra recorded on this same session for February 10th, 1931. By My Side / By The River Of St. Marie. Neither of which has been made audibly available to date. Maybe they feature there, although it's rather unlikely. Both sides of this record can be found on Youtube:
