The Sophisticated Styling Of: 1933-37, Volume II
Take Two Records presents a second album dedicated to the music of pianist and bandleader Eddy Duchin (1910-1951). Most of the vocals are by Lew Sherwood, with additional appearances by Jerry Cooper, Buddy Clark and the DeMarco Sisters. During the mid-'30s, many dance bands spiced up their act with rhythms and repertoire gleaned from Latin America; Duchin tapped into this trend withLa Cumparsita- one of his very few instrumental recordings from this period - andDust on the Moon, described as aRumba Fox Trot. All of the other selections included here, like most of the popular recordings issued on 78 rpm records during the '30s, were tagged with the all-purpose categorical designation of 'Fox Trot.'
