Co-composed by King Oliver<\/a> and Louis Armstrong<\/a>,\u00a0 “Suger Foot Stomp” was first recorded in 1923 under the title of “Dippermouth Blues” by King Oliver’s Creole Jazz Band.\u00a0 In 1925 Fletecher Henderson’s<\/a> orchestra recorded a version for Columbia arranged by Don Redman<\/a> under the name “Sugar Foot Stomp.”\u00a0 \u00a0Louis Armstrong performed in both the 1923 and 1925 recordings.\u00a0 \u00a0In 1931 the Fletecher Henderson orchestra recorded an additional version for Columbia – the one presented here – this time without Armstrong.<\/p>\n

“Yes Sir, That’s My Baby” was a big 1925 hit that was recorded by a number of artists.\u00a0 The recording here is by Blossom Seeley<\/a> who was a top star on the vaudeville circuits.\u00a0 Seeley recorded this in May 1925, not long after Columbia and Victor began releasing recordings using the new electrical process that employed microphones instead of acoustic recording horns.\u00a0 Even though such recordings were issued throughout 1925, both companies delayed making any public announcement of the new technology until the latter part of the year for fear that it would result in their current inventory of acoustically made records becoming unsaleable.\u00a0 Notice how Seely “belts out” the vocal on this recording.\u00a0 Being able to loudly project one’s voice was essential on recordings and in large venues prior to the advent of the microphone and amplified speakers.\u00a0 \u00a0With the arrival of radio and electrical recording, however, such a style of singing was soon regarded as old-fashioned as “crooners,” who sang in a more intimate, conversational manner, became increasingly popular.<\/p>\n

Duke Ellington’s<\/a> excellent recording of “Misty Mornin'” was originally issued on Victor V-38058.\u00a0 However, in 1936 Victor reissued the recording on its budget-priced Bluebird label from which the copy presented here was transferred.<\/p>\n

“A Star Is Born” was the title song of the 1937 film A Star is Born<\/em> <\/a>which starred Janet Gaynor<\/a> and Fredrich March<\/a>.\u00a0 The film was remade in 1954<\/a>, 1976<\/a>, and 2018<\/a>.\u00a0 \u00a0The song, however, was not used in any of its subsequent remakes.<\/p>\n

“Arcady” was introduced by Al Jolson<\/a> in the 1923 return engagement of the Broadway musical Bombo<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n
