Red Nichols & His Five Pennies-Dinah (Brunswick)
Here’s an original Brunswick 78 from 1929, featuring
Red Nichols & His Five Pennies. Although we heard Dinah
on the May 22/06 broadcast of Roy’s Record Room, there
was a tear on that label so I’ve scanned the flip side
for your viewing pleasure. These early 78 labels were ornate
works of art; this classic from Brunswick is an excellent
example.
Red and the gang recorded Dinah in New York on April
18, 1929. Besides Red on trumpet, the cast included such future
big-band luminaries as Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Gene Krupa
and the incomparable Jack Teagarden. Great stuff - part of
the totally eclectic RRR playlist.
