Great film, but ... ( 1 year ago by glengillo)
Great film, but surely sound film did not commence until 1929, with the Jazz Singer?

Not at all! The Jazz Singer (27, not 29) brought sound to FEATURE film, but shorts-- first experimental, and then run as short features in the few urban theaters with electric sound systems-- predated it by several years. This is an example of one of those early soundies.
The "hot" sax ... ( 1 year ago by stampada)
The "hot" sax player, Jack Pettis (1891-????), was an original member of the 1922-23 New Orleans Rhythm Kings -- considered to be the best, early white jazz group. In the late 20s he made a lot of recordings with Ben Bernie, Irving Mills, and his own band. After 1930, he made only one record in 1937, and then... completely vanished from the face of the earth! In jazz circles, he is regarded as a solid, but not spectacular, instrumentalist.

Ben Bernie and all the lads with Oscar Levant at the piano. Sweet Georgia Brown was a big hit for Ben Bernie circa when he had the house orchestra at the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City. Wish more of his radio program were available -- really great stuff from the 1930's and early '40's.
