From his headquarters in New York City, the bold, brash, young violinist built a Transatlantic empire, with jazz-flavored dance orchestras operating under his name in the United States, England, and elsewhere. He peppered his flagship orchestra with some of the finest \"hot\" musicians of the day: Frank Guarente, Charlie Spivak, Sylvester Ahola, Arthur Schutt, Chauncey Morehouse, and others. They performed in upscale New York hotels, broadcast regularly over radio, and recorded prolifically. This CD features an excellent cross-sampling of Paul Specht's recorded output, with many rare selections meticulously restored from the best available sources by renowned engineer Nick Dellow for superb sound. The deluxe 40-page booklet features extensive notes with groundbreaking research by Grammy-nominated author Mark Berresford, generously illustrated with many previously unpublished photos. 26 selections, 79 minutes of music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote: This title is currently available ONLY as a digital download in high-quality MP3 format.

From his headquarters in New York City, the bold, brash, young violinist built a Transatlantic empire, with jazz-flavored dance orchestras operating under his name in the United States, England, and elsewhere. He peppered his flagship orchestra with some of the finest \"hot\" musicians of the day: Frank Guarente, Charlie Spivak, Sylvester Ahola, Arthur Schutt, Chauncey Morehouse, and others. They performed in upscale New York hotels, broadcast regularly over radio, and recorded prolifically. This CD features an excellent cross-sampling of Paul Specht's recorded output, with many rare selections meticulously restored from the best available sources by renowned engineer Nick Dellow for superb sound. The deluxe 40-page booklet features extensive notes with groundbreaking research by Grammy-nominated author Mark Berresford, generously illustrated with many previously unpublished photos. 26 selections, 79 minutes of music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote: This title is currently available ONLY as a digital download in high-quality MP3 format.

Paul Levi Specht (1895-1954) was one of the most popular and successful American dance band leaders of the 1920s. From his headquarters in New York City, the bold, brash, young violinist built a Transatlantic empire, with jazz-flavored dance orchestras operating under his name in the United States, England, and elsewhere. He peppered his flagship orchestra with some of the finest "hot" musicians of the day: Frank Guarente, Charlie Spivak, Sylvester Ahola, Arthur Schutt, Chauncey Morehouse, and others. They performed in upscale New York hotels, broadcast regularly over radio, and recorded prolifically. This CD features an excellent cross-sampling of Paul Specht's recorded output, with many rare selections meticulously restored from the best available sources by renowned engineer Nick Dellow for superb sound. The deluxe 40-page booklet features extensive notes with groundbreaking research by Grammy-nominated author Mark Berresford, generously illustrated with many previously unpublished photos. 26 selections, 79 minutes of music.

Note: This title is currently available ONLY as a digital download 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 will receive a download link by e-mail upon completion of checkout.

SPECHTACULAR REISSUE

Most collectors of 78s will have one or more records by Paul Specht on their shelves; he recorded for over a decade, and visited England twice, in 1923 and 1926. As an aside, we have him to thank for introducing Sylvester Ahola to London, setting in train his subsequent return to the British dance band scene. Much of Specht's output was relatively mundane, but this compilation is subtitled "Hot Dance Rarities" and it fulfils that promise, thanks to the presence of such luminaries as Frank Guarante, the afore-mentioned Ahola, Charlie Butterfield, Arthur Schutt and Chauncey Morehouse. Many of the transfers were taken from Columbia 78s, but one of the stand-out tracks is "Static Strut" from the Perfect label. Others include a considerable rarity, recorded in London by the Canadian Club Orchestra, and both sides of a cardboard-based Duophone 78 issued only in England under the pseudonym Henry Paul. Given the age and rarity of these recordings, the quality and depth of sound that Nick Dellow has managed to coax from the grooves is little short of miraculous. It shows the band progressing from the 4/4 rhythm of the early twenties to complex syncopated arrangements, some of which may have been supplied by Don Redman. The accompanying illustrated 40-page booklet by Mark Berresford presents a detailed account of Paul Specht's activities, and an appreciation of the recordings. It's a fascinating musical snapshot of a major twenties band.
