Ted Weems & His Orchestra - Marvelous: 1926-1929 album download

Ted Weems & His Orchestra. Marvelous: 1926-1929. Ted Weems led one of the finest hot dance/jazz bands during the second half of the 1920s, but his later popularity with a sweeter orchestra has overshadowed his earlier, more jazz-oriented group. This 1996 CD has 18 of his recordings from the 1926-1929 period and features high musicianship, some fine short solos (particularly from clarinetist Don Watt), spirited singing from Parker Gibbs, and superior arrangements. Weems' versions of "Piccolo Pete" (a hit at the time) and "What a Day" are classics.

Marvelous! 1926-1929. For a collector of 1920s jazz and dance bands, this CD is a breath of fresh air. Weems and his band play some real hot dance band music, and the sound quality is, well, marvelous! Before becoming "just another sweet band" in the 1930s and 1940s, Ted Weems led a pretty darn good dance band that made dozens of records for Victor in the 1920s. Many of the best of those are collected on this disc, and there isn't a dud in the lot.
