WHEN BUDDHA SMILES - RUDY WIEDOEFT'S CALIFORNIANS - (Mistake label) Brunswick Bliss Series

Here is a very nice version of this song "When Buddha Smiles", The poor typesetter at Brunswick has my dyslexia issues - He put in BHUDDA!! I uploaded on April 8th 24 -Eclipse day and had to do a small amount of clean up on, so I could post it for You. I sure Hope You will enjoy this FUN record! I uploaded every version of this great song I have on that day so I can try and do a comparison grouping soon!

Thanks Martin! I agree 100% in wishing that most all of my records could be in the condition this one is in! The Regal I posted is just as nice as this one!

This phenomenal, very colorful and virtuosic arrangement is brilliant and it definitely makes Rudy Widoeft glow and shine in the demanding solos! Thank you so much for sharing.

Thanks so much! This has to be equal to my first ever record by Paul Whiteman's Orchestra the same year! next the Regal version I uploaded as a comparison!

@@roybo1930 Thanks again for that great comparison between both versions!

Rudy gets to shine on this take and show why he was the number one sax virtuoso of the early twenties! Jimmy Dorsey sure admired him and copied his riffs! Thanks for uploading this fine acoustical! Sounds real good 😊

Thank You benzo! I sure can see why Rudy Valley and Jimmy Dorsey admired Rudy Wiedoeft indeed! Truly among the very best!!

I have had this one for years. Gus Haenschen's arrangement is way better than the stock that was on the Regal you uploaded. Ill have to check my copy to see if it's spelled correctly. Typos happen. Brunswick tried to be the first record company with a song so things like this happened.

Thanks!! I LOVE the Regal version, But this one knockes it out of the park! Gus Haenschen knew the proper tricks indeed! especially when they do the melodious little trick at 0:45 - 0:50- 1:05 & 1:10! Makes for a wonderful record all around!
