Song Title: “I Got Rhythm” composed by George Gershwin

What fabulous orchestra and wonderful singer. I could listen to them from now on! This is 1920′s music like it sounded in 1920 – - SPECTACULAR!

Founded in 2005, the BALLYHOO FOXTROT ORCHESTRA is a vintage ensemble dedicated to recreating the jazz and popular music of the 1910s and 1920s. The eight-piece ensemble employs an instrumentation that enables the group to perform a wide variety of musical genres from the period, including foxtrots, Dixieland jazz, blues, novelty songs, waltzes, tangos, cabaret, patriotic songs, and light classical music. So whether the occasion calls for the Art Deco elegance of the Great Gatsby or the zany exuberance of a Prohibition-era speakeasy, the BALLYHOO FOXTROT ORCHESTRA can supply just the right music.

In 2008, the BFO recorded its first CD, titled “I’m Gonna Jazz My Way.” The CD features nineteen songs that trace the life story of Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald.

In 2007, the BALLYHOO FOXTROT ORCHESTRA was added to the Iowa Arts Council’s Performing Artist Roster. Qualifying organizations may apply for matching funds when hiring the BFO.

The BALLYHOO FOXTROT ORCHESTRA has recently recorded its first CD, titled “I’m Gonna Jazz My Way.”
Here is a list of the songs on it.

Tiger Rag
Oh, How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning!

Song Title: “Dixie Jass Band One Step”
Also known as: “The Original Dixieland One Step”

This song is among the very FIRST of the recordings of Jass music. The year was 1917, and it was recorded by the Original Dixieland Jass Band (ODJB).

Dan Levinson’s Roof Garden Jass Band ~ ~ ~
Dan Levinson – leader, clarinet & C-melody saxophone
Jon-Erik Kellso – trumpet
David Sager – trombone
Kevin Dorn – drums
Tom Roberts – piano

This performance by Dan Levinson’s Roof Garden Jass Band is their own version of the piece that was performed in 1917.

I own the CD that Dan produced with 21 songs on it, and I highly recommend it. Every number is unique and exciting!

All of the songs are performed with loving care to be as nearly perfect as posible to the way the ODJB would have sounded if you could have listened to them live in the recording studio back when they made their original recordings.
