Joe Venuti's Rhythm Boys - Little Girl, 1931

Joe Venuti's Rhythm Boys - Little Girl, Columbia 1931 NOTE: Giuseppe (Joe) Venuti (b. 1903 in Philadelphia -- d. 1978) was an Italian-American jazz musician and pioneer jazz violinist, who is considered the father of jazz violin. Through the 1920s and early 1930s, Venuti and his childchood friend Eddie Lang, who played guitar, made many recordings as leader and as featured soloists. He and Lang became so well known for their 'hot' violin and guitar solos that on many commercial dance recordings they were hired to do their solos towards the end of otherwise stock dance arrangements. In 1926, Venuti and Lang started recording for the OKeh label as a duet, Venuti also recorded a number of larger, more commercial dance records for OKeh under the name New Yorkers. He worked with Benny Goodman, the Dorsey Brothers, Bing Crosby, Bix Beiderbecke, Jack Teagarden, the Boswell Sisters and most of the other important white jazz and semi-jazz figures of the late 1920s and early 1930s. Venuti and Lang recorded a series of milestone jazz records for the OKeh label during the 1920s. However, following Lang's early death in 1933, his career began to wane, though he continued performing through the 1930s, recording a series of excellent commercial dance records (usually containing a Venuti violin solo) for the dime store labels, OKeh and Columbia, as well as the occasional jazz small group sessions. He was also a strong early influence on western swing players not to mention the fact that Lang and Venuti were the primary influences of Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli. After a period of relative obscurity in the 1940s and 1950s, he was 'rediscovered' in the late 1960s establishing a musical relationship with tenor saxophonist Zoot Sims that resulted in three recordings and recordingan entire album with country-jazz musicians. He died in Seattle, Washington. A slideshow contains photographs of Clara Bow - the loveliest "little girl" of American cinema.
