Jan Garber & His Orchestra - Back In Your Old Backyard, Fox-Trot (Jolson, Rose & Dreyer) with Vocal chorus by Vincent Van Tuyl, Columbia 1928 (USA) NOTE: This is a big American hit of the year 1928, after it was recorded, almost simultaneously, by two enormously popular American artists: Al Jolson (for Brunswick records) and Ruth Etting (for Columbia). In subsequent years also Billie Holiday and Bing Crosby made their versions. Jan Garber’s was one of the hottest dance bands in USA in the Jazz Age, successfully continuing its performances through the Great Depression, when majority of the American dance bands, popular and prosperous during the Roaring Twenties, were suddenly erased from the musical scene. However, dawn of the big band era forced also Jan Garber to conform and to change his hot jazzy arrangements into a rather “sweet” style. Through many decades and tanks to its artistic flexibility, Jan Garber’s orchestra enjoyed the title of one of the longest living dance bands in the US, active almost until its leader death in 1977. The slideshow presents several awesome gramophone models from the first decades of the 20th century.
