Description
Known as the “Old Maestro” Ben Bernie (1891-1943) was an American jazz violinist, bandleader and radio personality known for his engaging personality – it got showcased in films including the very musical Wake and Live (1937) that starred Bernie, Alice Faye, Jack Haley and Walter Winchell. See the film if you haven’t. From an earlier era, Bernie and his Hotel Roosevelt Orchestra play “Hello, Tucky,” recorded on February 6, 1925, and “I Can’t Stop Babying You” recorded on January 27. Nice brown wax Vocalion. Condition E
NOTE: I grade records by a rating system that has been standard in the industry for decades. Still, it can be a subjective undertaking. I am more likely to grade by how the record reproduces aurally (I use a 78 Shure cartridge with a 1950s Voice of Music turntable that has been fit into a 1946 Magnavox Belvedere radio-phonograph) than by how it looks visually. Sometimes a record that appears substantially worn plays very well and sometimes the opposite is true.
