- el año pasado
Victor Arden & Phil Ohman And Their Orchestra, Vocal refrain by Frank Luther – I Got Rhythm (Ira & Geroge Gershwin) From the Musical Comedy “Girl Crazy”, Victor 1930 (USA)
NOTE: This tune, written in 1928 by George Gershwin and presented in 1930 by Ethel Merman in the musical show “Girl Crazy” – has been ever since played and recorded a thousands times by various jazz musicians, becoming one of the most popular jazz standards in the dance music history. The most famous ever was Benny Goodman orchestra’s rendition in almost 8 minutes long jamboree on the theme of “I Got Rhythm”, presented in 1938 on a famous concert at Carnegie Hall —one of the first public concerts to feature a racially integrated group—which helped elevate the status of swing music, and included some of the brightest jazz luminaries of the day. (Count Basie appeared as a guest performer , and members of Duke Ellington’s orchestra also participated. Lionel Hampton and Gene Krupa, were there, as were Buck Clayton, Johnny Hodges, Walter Page, Lester Young, Harry Carney, and Freddie Green). Here, that outrageous tune is played in a purely dance verison by Victor Arden & Phil Ohman - two popular American pianists and bandleaders of the turn of the 1920/30s.
