Irving Aaronson & His Commanders mit Refraingesang (Phil Saxe & Chorus) – Outside (Frank Flynn), Fox Trot, Electrola 1929 (recorded in USA; German pressing)

NOTE: Irving AARONSON (b. 1895, NYC – d. 1963 Los Angeles, CA) – American dance band leader, one of the hottest and most exuberant sounding dance bands of the Roaring Twenties, who co-founded the legend of that short dance band era between ca 1920 and the beginning of the Great Depression. His most popular recordings include "I'll Get By," Cole Porter's "Let's Misbehave," with fabulous vocal by Phil Saxe, "All by Ourselves in the Moonlight," "Don't Look at Me That Way”,  "Hi-Ho the Merrio" and “Crazy Words, Crazy Tunes" that introduced the once-ubiquitous phrase "vo-do-de-o." In 1930s he worked as a musical supervisor for the MGM motion picture studios, and his band career had ended. Unfortunately, Aaronson's music has apparently never been compiled.
