Two Sides by Ivor Moreton & Dave Kaye 1933

Post by melvind »

Ivor Moreton and Dave Kaye were pianists on two pianos for the Harry Roy orchestra in the UK. Harry Roy called them his Famous Pianists, also known as the Tiger-Ragamuffins. They sometimes made their own recordings with the bass and drums. Here are two of their songs. On the St Louis Blues side Harry Roy even introduces them with his witty British English voice. Moreton and Kaye were known for modernized Ragtime arrangements and you can hear that in these pieces.
