Ray Noble And His Orch - Who Walks In When I Walk Out (both takes)

Here are both takes of "Who Walks In When I Walk Out" by Ray Noble And His Orchestra. Take 1 is the rarer take. Interesting to note the differences in the solos and in Al Bowlly's singing (for instance, on take 2 he starts off with "Dawgonit, I'm Mad", but not on take 1). The solo sequence on both takes is: Lew Davis (muted trombone), Harry Berly (tenor sax), Freddy Gardner (alto sax), Ernest Ritte (baritone sax) and Harry Berly (clarinet; also viola under Bowlly's vocals). For me, Freddy Gardner's alto sax solo is the highlight of the side, though I also really like Harry Berly's piping hot clarinet riding over the top of the ensemble towards the end (Ernest Ritte's hot baritone sax playing is pretty good too! And Lew Davis' trombone solo!!). Tiny Winter's ever reliable double bass keeps things swinging along, and the energy and drive of the band never lets up. Ray Noble, arranger, directing: Max Goldberg and Nat Gonella - trumpets / Lew Davis - trombone / Freddy Gardner - alto sax, clarinet / Ernest Ritte - alto sax, baritone sax / Harry Berly - tenor sax, clarinet, viola / Monia Liter - piano / Bert Thomas - guitar / Tiny Winters - string bass / Bill Harty - drums / Al Bowlly - vocals Recorded at EMI Abbey Road Studios, London, February 1, 1934 OB-4770-1-2 Who Walks In When I Walk Out HMV B-6453 (take 1), HMV EA-1333 (take 2) (Australian) This is the HMV house band at its finest. Six months later, Ray Noble left Britain, enticed away to the USA and even greater fame. However, despite having top players within its ranks, I don't think Noble's American band could match the British outfit in terms of either warmth or drive. This is even more remarkable when one considers that the US band was a full time unit, whereas the HMV one was a studio band, with the musicians only coming together on the day of the recording….the majority were either members of Lew Stone's band or Ambrose's (I think Freddy Gardner was in Maurice Winnick's band at the time). The photos are of Ray Noble and his HMV studio band in Holland in 1933, plus one of Ray Noble in the USA with his dogs!
