Alexander Varlamov & His Orchestra - Moon (Луна)

This is a request. In 1930, bandleader Alexander Varlamov organized the "First Modern Variety Vocal Quartet". High professionalism, good taste and musicality marked Alexander Varlamov's jazz. Within the big band a combo was organized. The first Soviet jazz improvisators showed their art there - saxophonist A.Vassil'ev, P.Boriskin and V.Bykov, the trumpet players, O.Khvedkevich, the drummer. In 1938 the septet made a series of records, where jazz was treated in a virtuous manner similiar to this of Nat Gonella and Joe Donaldson bands in England, or "Hot Club de France" jazzmen groups in pre-war France. This is a lovely version of Rodgers' "Blue Moon" in Russian, recorded in 1938. Vocal by Alexander Varlamov.
