"Hoosier Hop" by The High Hatters 1929

"Hoosier Hop” by The High Hatters 1929 Vocalist: Frank Luther Victor 22218-B The High Hatters were a Victor studio orchestra directed by Leonard Joy, an employee of Victor, much like Nat Shilkret.  Joy directed a great number of bands for the company, including the Southerners, his All String Orchestra, and many uncredited bands backing musicians, but his most notable orchestra was certainly the High Hatters.  The High Hatters are quite often cited as one of the finest dance bands of the late 1920s and early 1930s, a period that could arguably be considered as having the greatest dance bands overall.  Please note that there were a number of other bands that also used the name “High Hatters”, such as Webster Moore’s High Hatters on the Columbia budget labels or Phil Hughes’ High Hatters on Perfect, but only the instances found on the Victor label are the band heard here, and even then, some from the 1930s were under a different director than Leonard Joy. The song “Hoosier Hop” was used in the 1929 two strip technicolor film “It’s a Great Life” showing that the new styles of music and dancing had caught on in Indiana. As the lyrics go, “It’s a hick step, but a slick step called the Hoosier Hop. It’s the high school kids invented the thing, grown up folks caught onto the swing.” The film started the Duncan Sisters who start out working in a department store but end up as a vaudeville act.
