One of the greatest successes for Isham Jones, this song was America's #1 for seven weeks in late 1924 and early 1925. If one were to draw up a list of popular songs typifying the spirit of the mid-twenties this number would emphatically make the top five. Here's more from Wiki: "I'll See You in My Dreams" is a popular song. One of the most beloved and popular songs of its day, "I'll See You in My Dreams" was written by Isham Jones, with lyrics by Gus Kahn. The song was published in 1924. Below are its well-known lyrics: INTRO Though the days are long, Twilight sings a song, Of the happiness that used to be; Soon my eyes will close,, Soon I'll find repose, And in dreams you're always near to me.'' CHORUS I'll see you in my dreams, Hold you in my dreams;, Someone took you out of my arms, Still I feel the thrill of your charms!, Lips that once were mine, ''Tender eyes that shine, They will light my way tonight, I'll see you in my dreams!'' The song was chosen as the title song of the movie of the same name, a musical biography of Kahn. Popular recordings of it were made by many leading artists including Marion Harris (1924), Louis Armstrong, Pat Boone, Doris Day, Ella Fitzgerald, Tony Martin, Anita O'Day, Ezio Pinza, Jerry Lee Lewis (1958, instrumental) and Andy Williams. The song was recorded by Django Reinhardt and the Quintet of the Hot Club of France and eventually inspired Merle Travis to record it as a guitar instrumental. Many other guitarists including Chet Atkins .... + Informações

"Do You Ever Think of Me?" Words by Harry D. Kerr and John Cooper Music by Earl Burtnett Performed by Isham Jones Orchestra Recorded March 1921 Brunswick 5049 The video features tuba/Sousaphone player John Kuhn. also known as "Chief Red Cloud." Kuhn was born on the Sioux Reservation in Montana, and by 1920 was considered one of the very finest performers on this instrument. While attending the Haskell Institute in Kansas he studied modern music and had lessons on the tuba. He later joined Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show and toured with the band in Europe. After returning to the United States, he joined the Dennison Wheelock Indian Band and then was discovered by John Philip Sousa who recruited him for the famous Sousa Band. Kuhn was with the Sousa Band from 1915 to 1919. In 1920 he joined Isham Jones' Rainbo Orchestra in Chicago and played the Sousaphone for Isham Jones during the early 1920s. Tom Lord's jazz discography credits Kuhn with 41 recordings between 1920 and 1929. He was also noted for authoring music instruction methods for the tuba, some which are still being sold. I could not find any biographical information beyond 1930.. + Informações

Ma ! (He's Making Eyes at Me) Lyric by Sydney Clare Music by Con Conrad Isham Jones Orchestra Recorded September 1921 Brunswick 5065 Isham Jones (1894 - 1956) was the leader of an outstanding band for many years, towered above most contemporaries because of arrangements and impeccable musicianship. He had a full, rich ensemble sound and good beat enhanced by tasteful use of tuba. He was a tough disciplinarian but equally important as a composer whose songs became standards and enjoyed great popularity. Jones began in Chicago in 1915 playing tenor sax and led a trio. Later larger groups at Green Mill and Rainbo Gardens and good runs at Hotel Sherman. While touring, he played New York and appeared in London (1924). Prolific recording during 1920s and 1930s, his fame grew as he composed a hit tune or two almost every year. A top arranger of his was Gordon Jenkins and musicians Joe Bishop, tuba, Jiggs Noble, piano, Johnny Carl;son, trumpet, Milt Yaner alto sax and clarinet. Disbanded about 1942, thereafter led bands at intervals. Most notable compositions: "I'll See You In My Dreams," "On the Alamo," "Swingin' Down the Lane," "It had to be You," and "Why Can't this Night Go On Forever.". + Informações

Isham Jones Orch. - What's The Use?, Brunswick 1930 Isham JONES (1894 -1956) was a United States bandleader, violinist, bassist and songwriter. Jones was born in Coalton, Ohio, and grew up in Saginaw, Michigan, where he started his first band. In 1915 he moved to Chicago, Illinois, which remained his base through 1924. After that he toured England before reestablishing himself in New York City. The Isham Jones band made a series of popular gramophone records for Brunswick throughout the 1920s. Isham Jones led one of the most popular dance bands in the 1920s and 1930s. Noted musicians who played in Jones' band included Louis Panico, Benny Goodman (although he did not make any records during the short time he was with them), Woody Herman, Walt Yoder, and Roy Bargy. From 1929 to 1932, his Brunswick recordings became even more sophisticated with often very interesting arrangements (probably by Gordon Jenkins). During this period, Jones started featuring violinist Eddie Stone as one of his regular vocalists. Stone had an unusual, almost humorous tone to his voice (see: pl.youtube.com ). It seems that Jones was indifferent to vocalists until he started using Frank Sylvano in 1929 and in 1932, Joe Martin. About this time, a young Bing Crosby recorded "Sweet Georgia Brown" with Isham's group. In 1932, Jones signed with Victor and these records are generally considered among the very best arranged and performed commercial dance band records of the Depression era.

Two million sales of this record in 1921 cemented Isham Jones's niche in the musical pantheon of the early Twenties. The song has been recorded many times since with Dave Ringle's fine lyrics, but no performance has been so popular as this Jones instrumental.

Here is a great arrangement (probably by Gordon Jenkins) of the standard Rodgers-Hart tune "The Blue Room," recorded by the Isham Jones Orchestra in July 1934. The trumpet soloist is the prolific Chelsea Quealey, a veteran of the New York jazz scene during the 1920s and 1930s who sadly is relatively unknown today. The winds swing hard, but the rhythm section, accustomed mostly to nudging the band along for society crowds, just doesn't give the group enough lift. Still, it's a great record. The record is played on my Sparton radio-phono console unit, built around the 8-57 AM-FM radio chassis with phono preamp input. The unit includes a "slicer" record changer and the tonearm is equipped with an Astatic ceramic phono cartridge that uses a standard size sapphire-tip needle. For this video, I mic'd the speaker at close proximity, rather than gathering the sound from further back in the room.. + Informações

Brunswick 2738 - Recorded 9-16-1924 Chicago, Illinois - Reached US Billboard 8 - Jan 1925 (2 weeks). Isham Jones & His Orchestra. Fox Trot Instrumental. Music By Gus Kahn. Vintage Photo Slideshow. Isham Jones (January 31, 1894 -- October 19, 1956) was a United States bandleader, saxophonist, bassist and songwriter. Jones was born in Coalton, Ohio, to a musical and mining family, and grew up in Saginaw, Michigan, where he started his first band. In 1911 one of Jones' earliest compositions "On The Alamo" was published by Tell Taylor Inc. (Taylor had just formed a publishing company the year before when his song "Down By The Old Mill Stream" became a big hit.) In 1915 Isham Jones moved to Chicago, Illinois, which remained his home base until 1932, when he reestablished himself in New York City. Jones also toured England with his orchestra in 1925. The Isham Jones band made a series of popular gramophone records for Brunswick throughout the 1920s. He led one of the most popular dance bands in the 1920s and 1930s. His first successful recording, Wabash Blues written by Dave Ringle and Fred Meinken, was recorded in 1921 by Isham Jones and his Orchestra. This million-seller stayed twelve weeks in the US charts, six at No. 1. Jones was reportedly a strict taskmaster and was known for being rather cold and distant. His lushly romantic compositions seem at odds with his reported personality. In the 1940s, Jones resided on his poultry farm in Colorado, which he occasionally left for .... + Informações

"Sweet Georgia Brown" was a brand-new tune when Isham Jones recorded it in 1925. The Isham Jones Orchestra was one of Brunswick's most popular recording artists, and he continued to be a successful bandleader and songwriter well into the 1930's. This recording was made with Brunswick's primitive "Light Ray" recording process, which used a horn to collect sound and channel its acoustic energy to a small mirror. A spot beam was reflected off the mirror and onto a photocell. As the sound vibrated the mirror, the intensity of the spot beam on the photo cell varied; this varying electrical signal was amplified and sent to the recording head, where it was cut onto the record. These recordings sound hollow and distorted when played back electrically, but they sound loud and clear when played back acoustically. Therecord player is an Orthophonic Victrola model VE4-4X, or "Granada". The "E" in the model number indicates that the Victrola is fitted with a synchronous A/C motor instead of a wind-up motor. The machine has a full "orthophonic" playback system (for electrically-recorded records) including the special orthophonic sound box with a duralumin diaphragm and a folded exponential horn inside of the cabinet. Although the gigantic Credenza Victrola produced deeper bass, the Granada had the most accurate overall frequency response of all the acoustic Orthophonic Victrolas. The serial number indicates that this machine was probably manufactured in 1926. I shoot my video with a .... + Informações

Make Believe Words by Benny Davis Music by Jack Shilkret Performed by Isham Jones and His Orchestra Recorded March 1921 Brunswick 5049 "Make Believe" is another one of those 1920s tunes that has remarkable similarities to "Whispering" which had been successfully recorded by the Paul Whiteman Orchestra in 1920. Note the use of the slide whistle in the second chorus. It reminds me of "Whispering." Isham Jones (1894 - 1956) was the leader of an outstanding band for many years, towered above most contemporaries because of arrangements and impeccable musicianship.

BING CROSBY (with Isham Jones and His Orchestra) sings "Happy-Go-Lucky You and Broken Hearted Me" on Brunswick 6306, recorded 4-23-32. Bing recorded several songs in Chicago in 1932, and these COULD have been some of the best records of his career. However, there were no good recording studios outside of New York and Hollywood. It's hard to tell with the poor sound of YouTube videos, but it sometimes sounds as if Bing was singing through a megaphone during these sessions. Some people say that the pressing plates were bad. Some people say that the microphone had been damaged. Some people say that the microphone simply wasn't pointed at Bing. Who knows what happened in Chicago.... The only good recordings, sonically speaking, to come out of these sessions: "Sweet Georgia Brown" and "Some of These Days." Those two became national hits for Bing. While this record may not be the best to come out of those sessions, it is my favorite. (Can you tell I'm a big fan of Der Bingle?). + Informações
