Roaring 20s: George Gershwin plays Sweet And Low Down, 1926

George Gershwin, Pianoforte Solo - Sweet and Low-Down, from “Tip Toes” (G.Gershwin) Columbia 1926 (British product). NOTE: „Tip Toes” was a Broadway musical farce written and composed by brothers Ira and George Gershwin in 1925. It was staged in Liberty Theatre at West 42 Street, the cast included Queenie Smith, Allen Kearns and young Jeanette MacDonald, yet the show run only 192 performances, to compare with 390 performances of “Lady Be Good” - a musical show by Ira & George Gershwin with Fred and Adele Astaire, which one year earlier in 1924 became a huge international success.“Tip Toes” lacked, as it seems, a couple of unquestionably hit numbers, such as were songs “Fascinating Rhythm” and “Lady Be Good” in the previous show. Besides “Sweet and Low-Down”, the song list in “Tip Toes” included only two songs intended to be hits, such as “Looking For a Boy” and “That Certain Feeling”. The lack of obvious success of “Tip Toes” does not mean, of course, that the songs from this show are "worse". No! They are wonderful, like everything that at that time came out from under the pen of two brilliant brothers! And I am glad, I can present today one of the leading tunes from "Tip Toes" in a version recorded personally by Gerorge Gershwin, who plays the piano. I don’t know when this side was originally waxed: in New York in 1925 or perhaps in London in 1926, when “Tip Toes” had its European premiere in West End. In 1927 a British silent movie was made – a loose adaptation of the stage musical Tip-Toes, with Dorothy Gish (Lilian’s elder sister) and Will Rogers starring in it.
