Imagine going there with a time machine, fully dressed, sitting in front of those guys, order a Martini, and enjoy those times for a while.

Russ Columbo, the tallest of the singing trio, reminds me of a young Gary Cooper, particularly in the first section.

Fantastic old music film! Recorded with the Vitaphone System, I belive was 331/3 rpm records played in sync with the picture. Amazingly good sync here. Just look at the xylophonist! But I miss that Gus Arnheim didn´t introduced the tunes speaking to the camera. Just bowing.

When Bing Crosby left the Arnheim orchestra, he recommended Russ Columbo as his replacement. In a very short time, Columbo’s handsomeness, musicianship and lyric baritone voice made him a national star on radio. To promote him, a so-called “Battle of the Baritones” between Crosby and Columbo was invented by a radio sponsor. In reality, the two were good friends. Crosby was a pallbearer at Columbo’s funeral at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park on Saturday afternoon, September 8, 1934.

The string bass player have a very peculiar style! String bass was very rare in these orchestras (or these recording sessions) at the time. But he obviously also plays the tuba!

What’s sad about this is that there were so man y many band working all having 10 , 12, 16 musicians working constantly. Now if you have a trio or quartet it can be hard to find steady work at decent pay.

@duncanpinderhughes 2 жыл бұрын

is there a genre category for this type of harmonizing??? i've been tryna single it out forever. or is it just the style of that era???

@dantep4966 2 жыл бұрын

The problem with trying to find out what styles this old music is called is that this was all “pop” music. So I guess that would’ve been called popular harmony back then. The closest thing to it that has a name is “barbershop harmony.” For more 1920s harmony, I recommend the Revelers, who were all accomplished solo singers performing together. There is a vitaphone short of them on KZfaq also.

I don’t think Mr Venuti was with this group, but his style was highly influential in the 20s and dozens or hundreds of violinists took after him.

The violinist here is Russ Columbo. He also had a baritone vpice and was in a so called "battle" with Bing Crosby before his unforunate death.

@4bobbyt 3 жыл бұрын

That's the briefly famous, and horribly, tragically short lived Russ Columbo as part of the singing trio. He was Crosby's biggest rifal.

@RubyRosaRudy 2 жыл бұрын

Crosby preceded Columbo with the Arnheim band, and suggested to Gus A. that he choose Columbo as his new soloist. Crosby and Columbo were very good friends, and the so-called “Battle of the Baritones” was a network-radio press agent’s invention.

@peteratkinson922 Жыл бұрын

@@RubyRosaRudy yes, the rivalry seemed a bit pointless. They had different singing styles. Crosby was, in my opinion, better -an innovator and more inventive, but Columbo was much better looking. Room for both. So sad RC died early.
