FRANKIE TRUMBAUER & HIS ORCHESTRAR-3349 OSTRICH WALK, Fox-Trot, & RIVERBOAT SHUFFLE, Fox TrotFrankie Trumbauer and His Orchestra -the Ace of Orchestras- have made the greatest dance record yet issued. The playing is the hottest ever, the phrasing of the different instruments is ingenious beyond description. Both Bix Bidelbeck, the world’sgreatest Trumpet player, and Ed Lang on the guitar are starred in these two numbers. Anything more wonderful than the solos and different breaks by Bix would be difficult to conceive.
