Charleston--Paul Whiteman and His Orch., 1925

The Cecil Mack-Jimmie Johnson classic, brilliantly arranged by Ferde Grofe, who shares piano duties with Harry Parrella. From 5/7/1925--the eighth take! I'd love to hear some of the botched efforts, if only for their historical value. Plus, for the novelty of hearing this expert orchestra screwing up.
