- Limehouse Blues - Will Osborne and his Orchestra, recorded by Brunswick in 1931 but not issued in the USA on Melotone. Issued on Panachord 25025. Nice Jazzy Arrangement!
This is serious WONDERFUL! What a wonderful version! Will Osborne is truly FANTASTIC!
Been wanting to hear for YEARS what this one sounded like. Thanks for this! I've heard people say in the past that Osborne's music is just the same thing each time, and that it's all boring, etc. This is just another great example in the line of others that show Osborne could be hot when he wanted to. The man got his start right next to Duke Ellington for pity's sake!
Osborne has proven Himself quite a talent indeed! I LOVE Him!
@@roybo1930 Such a mindbogglingly underrated and unrecognized musician
I second C. Porter's comment. Obviously Will Osborne has a very recogisable signature style (which might sound similar all the way through to some), but here the vocalist proved most clearly that within the recognisable style he made his own, he did something very different and quite unique in this brilliant, hot version of Limehouse Blues. Fabulous!
His brand of hotness considering he featured basically no brass during these beginning years comes off much differently from what most consider hot jazz. But as a result, you hear something that seems more akin to what you'd expect to hear in the ambient TV & Movie soundtracks made today. Other examples include "Just Think Of Me Sometime" and "Now That You're Gone". The sax, piano, violin, and clarinet solos here are rather different compared to what is already known to exist of his. He usually had his bands solo in a call & response fashion when he let them. His version of "Perhaps" is a great example of this.
@@CPorter You are so right; the absence of brass gives this performance a very special but highly enjoyable sound. Besides, thank you very much for the interesting background information and comparison to other songs performed by Will Osborne!
