Baxter Dance Orchestra -- All My Life, Fox Trot with Vocal Refrain (Mitchell-Stept), Cameo 1936 (Swedish product) NOTE: This dance band's name sunds completely alien to me. In the web, there is just one American orchestra of the 1920s/30s with "Baxter" in its name -- which is Phil Baxter's band. He was a composer and bandleader from Texas, and his orchestra was active in the US until mid 1930s. There's rather a slim chance that "Baxter's Dance Orchestra" which recorded "All My Life" for the Swedish record factory in 1936, was exactly THAT one, rather ephemeric American dance band. Yet, whoever hides there let us enjoy one of the most popular jazz standards from the mid 1930s - made the international evergreen by numerous female vocal renditions, including one of loveliest by Ella Fitzgerald with Ted Wilson's Orchestra. In the slideshow -- a propos the site of the recording -- are vintage Swedish posters from the 1930s and some contemporary photoes of Swedish capital city, Stockholm. Its localisation -- which is a combination of the vast steel-blue northern sea patches, the coastal little islands, marina straits and granite cliffs with many of Stockholm's buildings built upon them - sometimes resemble a medieval fortress creating one of the most unique and beautiful urban landscapes in Europe.
