Savoy Havana Band, at the Savoy Hotel, London – Side By Side, Fox-Trot (H.Woods) with Vocal Chorus, HMV 1927 (UK)

NOTE: One of the best dance bands of the British Roaring Twenties, plays one of the most popular American hits of the late 1920s (- and the evergreen now). I think, anything what had ever been recorded by the Savoy Havana Band will forever remain in the Golden Archives of the Jazz Age dance music in Europe.  Their British sense of cool perfection went very well with the Southern rush and excitement – a fascinating ambiguity which whatsoever, found its way of expression also in their unusual British-Caribbean name. Every new Savoy Havana Band finding is for me always a great pleasure and I believe, so it is for you.
