Roane's Pennsylvanians - China Town, My Chinatown

  • 15 years ago
Roane's Pennsylvanians are a largely forgotten, but outstanding 12-piece group including no famous names (the saxophonist was a certain Dyke Bittenbender). Nevertheless, this 1932 recording is excellent, with an interesting instrumetation. The vocal is by the equally unknown Bobby Roberts. I included some pictures made in diverse Chinatowns during the 1910's and 1920's.
