Anyone have a spare they would part with?

Thanks!

Great record with a nice Big Tea solo if I recall. I think so- let me dig.

I came here to say the same thing!

I'd totally mail you one if I had one, but unfortunately that is one I haven't seen yet.

Roger Wolfe Kahn is a great bandleader though! I'm glad to see his records getting a bit of attention.

I've had a "saved search" on eBay for a while for this one with no luck. And yes, Kahn's was a great band with some very talented musicians (Trumbauer, Shaw, etc.). Check him out. He was quite young when he formed the band and even made the cover of "Time" magazine at age 19 in 1927!

You wouldn't mail it if you had it, unless you had a spare copy like I did, and even then you'd think twice or 3 times... but it's Charlie.

Yes, Kahn's records are total keepers. I can't think of any Dr. Demento candidates among them. His Depression era Columbia sides are especially nice IMO.

Some other "underappreciated" bands well worth collecting in my opinion are Fred Hall, Mal Hallet (1920s Columbia), Ted Weems, Tom Gerunovitch (later Gerun), Les Brown's early Sunburst Deccas and Bluebirds, Tempo King, Sharkey and his Sharks of Rhythm, Carl Fenton (1927-32 Gennett and QRS) Billy Hays, and early Anson Weeks (Columbia). Bernie Cummins on Victor, Columbia, Brunswick is another personal favorite.

Charleston Chasers and other Red Nichols groups too- that goes without saying, and Isham Jones' later Brunswicks and depression era Victors are well worth the price of admission, along with a lot of Waring's stuff- about half are snoozers, but there is some surprisingly hot stuff there as well.

Yesiree on the Anson Weeks Viva Tonals. I am duty-bound to like him, as he was in residence at the Mark Hopkins Hotel in San Francisco. Ted Weems - check; Cummins - Check. Isham Jones - double check. I still can't believe that some time ago I lucked onto a Victor copy of "That Dallas Man" played by Jones's orchestra. One of my absolute faves by him is "Blue Prelude." Guess so, since I have like four copies of it. I recall "Dallas Man" went some time back for several hundred dollars on eBay (not that that is solidly indicative of "worth;" it's like "Midnight, The Stars and You" with Bowlly on the vocals was at one time just a nice, dreamy slow fox trot . . . and then came Kubrick's "The Shining").

Thanks again, George; you've made me a happy guy!
