I’ve heard of one man bands, but this is ridiculous… if there are two things I love, it’s old band photos and silent comedians, so undoubtedly this one is a home-run. Buster Keaton, circa 1930. That’s my best guess based on the presence of a Cliff Edwards Tenortrope (if I’m not mistaken, Dobro started making those in 1930)- a particularly cool detail. A pal of mine out in New Orleans has got one- as a Cliff Edwards fanatic, I’d kill to get my mitts on one.

Tumblr media
yo this following post was written by ChatGPT.
There's something magical about listening to Benny Goodman’s 1938 Carnegie Hall jazz album at midnight. With its classic melodies and toe-tapping rhythm, it has the power to transport you to the golden age of the Great American Songbook. The classic sounds of this jazz album are timeless, made all the more magical when experienced at the midnight hour.
Each saxophone note and piano chord conjures up images of days gone by, when jazz was king and the night life of Old New York was alive and humming with energy. Take a step back in time as you listen to this timeless classic and appreciate the pure joy and emotion of Goodman’s classic swing.
So, if you're looking for an uplifting musical escape, why not dive into Benny Goodman’s 1938 Carnegie Hall jazz album? As you listen to the smooth sounds of this timeless classic, know that you can always find joy in the music available for us to appreciate.
Me: totally my thoughts on the record!

I’ve been very into Abner Dean's work these last couple days. Here's one of his New Yorker Covers from 1934.
I’ve also been thinking about pairing music with my posts. Here’s the Ray Noble Orchestra getting particularly jazzy in 1933 with a vocal refrain by Al Bowlly (everybody loves Al Bowlly), some hot trumpet by Nat Gonella, some great baritone saxophone by Ernest Ritte, and reedman Freddy Gardner.
