Frank Trumbauer & His Orchestra - Dusky Stevedore (new copy)

This is a mere reposting because of the technical problem usually preventing the video from opening. Frank Trumbauer got his start playing in several dance bands in the Midwest and eventually became musical director of Jean Goldkette's Orchestra. He led his own band at the Acadia Ballroom in St. Louis that featured Bix. They played together in Jean Goldkette's Orchestra and made many highly influential recordings together. They both joined Adrian Rollini's short lived band and then joined the Paul Whiteman Orchestra in 1927. Trumbauer stayed with Whiteman until 1932, when he left to form his own band. He then rejoined Whiteman in 1933. In the mid-30's he played with Charlie and Jack Teagarden and then led his own band in California. During World War II he left the music business, but after the war he played in the NBC Orchestra. This outstanding 1928 recording features Frank Trumbauer, Dee Orr, Harry Barris and Marlin Hurt on vocal.
