{"id":803131686973,"title":"Wob-a-ly Walk (1928-1932)","handle":"1168","description":"\u003cp\u003eNo band ever captured the freewheeling, exuberant zaniness of the 1920s better than Irving Aaronson and His Commanders. In press releases, Aaronson emphasized again and again that his was an \"entertaining band,\" one which had a full complement of comedy, eccentric dancing, and unique vocal stylings in addition to first-rate dance music. Even with the passage of many decades, the records made by Aaronson and company are still dynamic, lively fun. They're so exciting, and they capture the spirit of the Twenties so well, that modern-day filmmakers frequently use them to instantly create that \"Jazz Age\" atmosphere. More than eighty years after its heyday, Aaronson's group is still an entertaining band.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis disc, the second of four containing the band's complete recorded output in chronological order, traces Aaronson's Commanders from mid-1928 (in the midst of the band's appearance in the Broadway smash \u003cem\u003eParis\u003c\/em\u003e) through end of 1932, when the original incarnation of the Commanders broke up. All of the recordings have been meticulously remastered from the best available sources, and the collection includes two ultra rare complete short film soundtracks. Rounding out this definitive package is a lavish 32-page booklet with rare photographs and in-depth commentary by Aaronson expert Randy Skretvedt. 62 minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote: A digital download version is also available for this title in high-quality MP3 format.

band ever captured the freewheeling, exuberant zaniness of the 1920s better than Irving Aaronson and His Commanders. In press releases, Aaronson emphasized again and again that his was an \"entertaining band,\" one which had a full complement of comedy, eccentric dancing, and unique vocal stylings in addition to first-rate dance music. Even with the passage of many decades, the records made by Aaronson and company are still dynamic, lively fun. They're so exciting, and they capture the spirit of the Twenties so well, that modern-day filmmakers frequently use them to instantly create that \"Jazz Age\" atmosphere. More than eighty years after its heyday, Aaronson's group is still an entertaining band.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis disc, the second of four containing the band's complete recorded output in chronological order, traces Aaronson's Commanders from mid-1928 (in the midst of the band's appearance in the Broadway smash \u003cem\u003eParis\u003c\/em\u003e) through end of 1932, when the original incarnation of the Commanders broke up. All of the recordings have been meticulously remastered from the best available sources, and the collection includes two ultra rare complete short film soundtracks. Rounding out this definitive package is a lavish 32-page booklet with rare photographs and in-depth commentary by Aaronson expert Randy Skretvedt. 62 minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote: A digital download version is also available for this title in high-quality MP3 format.

Irving Aaronson and His Commanders

Wob-a-ly Walk (1928-1932)

$15.95
Maximum quantity available reached.

No band ever captured the freewheeling, exuberant zaniness of the 1920s better than Irving Aaronson and His Commanders. In press releases, Aaronson emphasized again and again that his was an "entertaining band," one which had a full complement of comedy, eccentric dancing, and unique vocal stylings in addition to first-rate dance music. Even with the passage of many decades, the records made by Aaronson and company are still dynamic, lively fun. They're so exciting, and they capture the spirit of the Twenties so well, that modern-day filmmakers frequently use them to instantly create that "Jazz Age" atmosphere. More than eighty years after its heyday, Aaronson's group is still an entertaining band.

This disc, the second of four containing the band's complete recorded output in chronological order, traces Aaronson's Commanders from mid-1928 (in the midst of the band's appearance in the Broadway smash Paris) through end of 1932, when the original incarnation of the Commanders broke up. All of the recordings have been meticulously remastered from the best available sources, and the collection includes two ultra rare complete short film soundtracks. Rounding out this definitive package is a lavish 32-page booklet with rare photographs and in-depth commentary by Aaronson expert Randy Skretvedt. 62 minutes.

Note: A digital download version is also available for this title in high-quality MP3 format. The download version includes a PDF digital booklet containing all of the text and images found in the physical CD booklet. Buyers selecting the digital download will receive a download link by e-mail upon completion of checkout.

A POLISHED BAND

The late twenties was a significant period for the band, which accompanied the actress Irene Bordoni on stage in the show “Paris”, and featured in two short MGM films, in 1928 and 1929. This compilation includes three vocals by Me. Bordoni, whose voice was more attuned to the stage, and two lots of three soundtrack numbers, which have been transferred from rare 16-inch discs. The band played with polish and precision, and included several vocalists, who sang both solo and in combination, although some of the vocals were delivered deliberately out of kilter with the written score. Most of the recordings were made in 1928/9, and are redolent of the peppy treatment still in vogue, but the last two date from August 1930 and show a marked change in style. Despite the title of the CD, no further recordings were made until August 1933, such were the effects of the Depression. Randy Skretvedt provides an account of the band’s contemporary activities, and information on the numbers, in a copiously illustrated 32-page glossy liner note. Restoration has produced a bright clear sound, and like all Rivermont’s CDs it’s a class act in every department.

Another GEM from RIVERMONT!

What a great CD! Makes a wonderful companion to RIVERMONT'S previous Irving Aaronson CD release, LET'S MISBEHAVE (BSW-1155). The transfers are superb. It is great to be able to hear some of these alternate/unissued takes that are on this release. The Irene Bordoni tracks are just so charming. The extensive liner notes by Randy Skretvedt make for entertaining reading. So glad to have a chance to hear the sound-discs for the two M-G-M sound shorts, thanks to Mr. VITAPHONE-Ron Hutchinson. Joe Busam's Cover artwork makes you smile as you open the package. The first track, LET'S MISBAVE (an unissued test) has got to be my favorite. The remastering by Bryan Wright makes it sound like it was recorded yesterday. I can't say enough about this release. Get it. You'll love it.
