I was hoping that someone would check back who had listened to both takes of
the Rollini gold label Vocalion of How Can It Be A Beautiful Day as I'm
curious if both takes have the same coda ending.
Also about the same record...all the reference works (Rust, BG, the Shaw
book) give Berigan as the trumpet. Who has listened to the records who can
back this up? To my ears, the guy doesn't sound even a little like Bunny.
Also...I don't recall ever hearing Berigan on any other record where he
plays the lead and the entire record with a straight mute...he seemed to be
very partial to derby or cup mutes but always (?) played at least some open
horn as well, at least on the commercial dance sides I've heard from 1930 -
35.
Any post-listening thoughts about this?
