Athough not well-known outside his homeland nowadays, pianist Ventura had one of the most successful jazz bands in France during the 20's and 30's, formed in 1924. They were heard on radio, toured internationally and Ventura starred in a couple of films. During World War II (1942 to 1944) Ventura fled France for Argentina, where he continued to record and perform. After the war he returned to France and continued to have a successful show business career. This excellent record was made for Odéon on May 16th, 1929. The vocal is by Al Cazentre. Besides Ventura personnel included: Krikor "Coco" Arslanian and Charlie Barnes, drums; John Arslanian, Danny Polo and Edouard S. Foy, clarinet and alto saxophone; René Barry, Jacques Bourgas Rosselli and Pierre Simon, clarinet and tenor saxophone; Ray Binder, Robert De Gaille, Alex Renard, Philippe Montaigut and Philippe Brun, trumpet; Spencer Clark, bass saxophone; Serge Glykson, alto saxophone; Roger Grasset, bass brass; Henri Guesde, guitar; Gaston Lapeyronnie, trombone and trumpet, as well as Paul Misraki, Bob Vaz and Stéphane Mougin, piano.

Thank you so much for your great comment! I fully agree this an excellent classy interpretation, and that it obviously has a genuinely French flavour!

Oh, wow! This is such a sophisticated and elegant (yet brilliantly jazzy) version. I can picture sitting in some Left Bank cafe with an absinthe and a Gauloise and listening to this amazing band. What a gorgeous (and unmistakably French) ballroom in the photo!

Bien sûr, même dans la partie non-francophone où je vis, les médias se sont faits l'écho de son décès.

Dans l'orchestre de Ray Ventura se trouvait un certain Henri Salvador : il vient juste de mourir à l'âge de 90 ans. Il était un merveilleux papi chanteur. Il a fait en l'an 2000, un sublime album "Chambre avec vue".En as-tu entendu parlé ?J'adore cette musique !

Glad you enjoyed them, P. Yes inspired by Josephine. Lucky enough to have one of two he did of here there, the one of her in her banana outfit. Ah, I get to listen to this wonderful band again :)

I did receive mail, yes! Let the fun start... Glad you had a great time in Paris listening to this :-)
