Are you sure it's the Harlem Hamfats? Sound quality seems much too good to be from the 30s.

Yep - it's on the CD "Harlem Hamfats Vol. 2 1936-1937".

Oops, double post...

Dixie by Dorsey/Dorseyland Dance Parade , from 1949, contains some nice, bright remakes of Dixieland classics, including Jazz Me Blues, Struttin' with Some Barbeque, Charley My Boy, Johnson Rag & Clap Hands, Here Comes Charley. Also, there's a live, brassy version of "Perfidia (Tonight)&qu...

Do those who play authentic Swing era recordings have this problem?

Curious! One leaves the Swing era recordings on the side and plays recordings from another era for Swing dancers and suddenly they require editing so that people can dance to them.

Ha! Touche....

That track was recorded in January 1949.
