Paul Whiteman & His Orch. - Charleston (unpublished version), 1925
NOTE: We may like Paul Whiteman or not, but his amazing 1925 rendition of the immortal Mack&Johnson's "The Original Charleston" remains forever a Sèvres meter standard for all musical interpretations of the craze of Roaring Twenties (mx Victor 19671B).
Here's one more Whiteman's version - and completely unknown, but in my opinion who knows, if not the best. It was probably one of many takes made on the 5th July 1925 on the recording session at Victor studios in NYC. It was, however, never accepted for the further release and now appears only in Paul Whiteman's vinyl or CD anthologies.

The Charleston had a brief revival in 1949-50, and I learned the dance to Paul Whiteman's music

In 1965, I and a group of others did the Charleston on stage when I was in Jr. High School, so I have a great fondness for the Charleston and the music of the 1920s and 30's. Big band music of any era too.

One of the most badass songs I've ever heard in my life. The song has some kind of "attitude" to it I can't describe.

Thanks for sharing this. It's much more enjoyable than the take we all know with the grunting.

I was wondering who was playing that solo, sounds like two pianists.

I think this is one of eight takes that were made on the 7th May 1925 (probably take five) Victor recording session. This date in America is written as 5/7/25 and may have been misread to mean 5th July (as in Europe). Anyway, I much prefer this to the V19671B published version which I think was take eight ! Thanks G. 5*

I didn't know that there were so many takes. Until now, I had only heard take 8 (scat version) and I fell in love with that version. But the purist in me prefers JP Johnson's stride piano version the best.

This version of "Charleston" by the Paul Whiteman Orchestra is not "unpublished" but was issued on Timeless CD 1093, from which this upload no doubt was taken.

I made my Mom teach to do the Charleston when I was 13yo (1958)- she thought I was nuts, butt we had a ball if she were alive shed be 103 yo. Flapper material indeed she graduated HS in 1928.

Genioa, I'm glad you were charlestoning all night with Rudy. As far as I know from him he is rather a tango-lover but his fidgety feet must do very well in the charleston too, I guess

slophouse So you're saying you're not a fan of the maestro's singing chops? 'Cause I'm pretty sure that's Paul himself doing the whole 'scat' routine in the issued version.

jlassie What do you base this on? It's much more likely to be Willie Hall actually.

@Shackamaxon Yes, you have to give full credit to JP Johnson as the composer of Charleston and he was, importantly, a very good friend and mentor of the young Fats Waller.
