There Ain’t No Sweetman Worth The Salt Of My Tears. Thomas “Spats” Langham in an interesting example of gender issues in the lyrics here, originally sung by Bing Crosby – oddly in the 1920s they often didn’t bother to adapt the lyrics to suit the sex of the singer! Watch out for the hip tymps of Mark Allis and splendid C melody sax from Richard White as Frankie Trumbauer.
A 1920’s spectacular presented by BBC Radio’s Alyn Shipton and featuring Guy Barker as Bix Beiderbecke, Thomas “Spats” Langham as Bing Crosby, Keith Nichols as Paul Whiteman and pianist Nick Dawson performing Rhapsody in Blue conducted by Pete Long.
Paul Whiteman, the biggest name in American music throughout the roaring twenties, lives again in this recreation (the first in London for over forty years) featuring a giant 27 piece orchestra crammed with the finest vintage jazz specialists.
