Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – "Trees" by Isham Jones & His Orchestra
December 25, 2011 by
I first came into contact with this song in a rendition by Alfalfa on “The Little Rascals.” This version hails from 1930 by the Chicago sweet band led by Isham Jones. Jones was a cold taskmaster of a bandleader which is kind of at odds with the sweet music he made with his group. At [...]

Movie Review – The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
December 23, 2011 by
