 <\/p>\n

Here are two recordings from the Edward Mitchell<\/a> collection made during the height of the mid-1920s Charleston dance craze.<\/p>\n

Both of these songs were recorded by a variety of bands in 1925<\/p>\n

“The Missouri Jazz Band” was a pseudonym used for recordings by multiple bands on labels distributed by the Plaza Music company such as Regal, Banner and Domino.\u00a0 After those labels merged into the American Record Corporation<\/a> the name was used on additional labels such as Romeo and Cameo.\u00a0 In this recording the actual band was Lou Gold and His Orchestra.<\/p>\n

Al Jolson also made a 1925 recording of “I’m Sitting On Top Of The World” and later performed it in the 1928 film The Singing Fool<\/a>, made during the period when theaters were making the transition from silent to sound films.\u00a0 Most of the film was produced as a silent film.\u00a0 But, for theaters that were equipped with the Vitaphone<\/a> sound-on-disc technology, it featured a synchronized musical score as well as a few scenes that included dialog and singing.<\/p>\n

Though both Victor and Columbia were using microphones by the time these sides were recorded, recordings on Domino and its affiliated labels still utilized acoustical recording horns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
