Zagrajcie mi...(Play It For Me) - tango (J.Rosner /Schlechter ; there's error on the label: Muz. Bixio, słowa Brojdo) - Refren z gitarą hawajską i orkiestrą S.Godarskiego (Vocal Refrain with Hawaiian guitar and Orchestra dir. by S.Godarski) ( Repressed by Melodje 1946 -- original production by Melodja-Electro, Warsaw 1936)
NOTE: Apparently, it's a famous Hawaii Guitar Orchestra dir. by Witold Tychowski accompanying Leopold Buffini. Orkiestra S. Godarskiego --was a pure phantasm; it simply never existed and Melodja label put every uncredited band under such name! I also have to mention, that on Melodje label the name of Leopold Buffini does not appear. Who was an anonymous refrainist was my own finding -- thanks to a fantastic monography of Syrena-Electro label by Mr. Tomasz Lerski. In 1946, a record factory Melodje operating in Poznań, re-pressed the original prewar Melodja-Electro matrix and issued it under the imperfect and erroneously described label. It's a very rare recording. Made solely for Melodja-Electro (a dime-store branch of Syrena Electro) it never appeared in Syrena-Electro mainstream production.
Leopold BUFFINI (probably, a poseudonym) was a local singing star of the city of Lwów, who also led his own "Speedy Boys" dance ensamble performing at "Casino de Paris" in Lwów, in 1930s. He was noted in sources as probably the first Polish singer who used a microphone on the stage. He survived the Holocaust in the part of Poland occupied by Soviets. After 1945 his name evaporates from the artistic life of postwar Poland. According to unconfirmed reports, he's been later seen in Canada.
The slideshow has been devoted by me to the vintage views of every Pole's beloved (and lost, forever) city of Lwów...(... where in 1930s one completely forgotten refrainist Leopold Buffini made his short and modest career and disappeared in oblivion...)
Attention: In the entering note in the clip there's my mistake in the name of the author of the lyrics: it is Emmanuel Schlechter, and not Szmaragd!

Alexandre Wertinsky -- J'amais (Ja pomniu etu nocz) (I Remember That Night) Music & Lyrics by A.Wertinsky, Columbia ca 1928 (French)
NOTE: Here's my very rough translation of what's going on in that lovely Wertinsky's song. I love it all, but particularily the last line: about parrot Flober that is "weeping, in French":
I remember that night/ You were crying, a little/ The tears were dropping from your blue circled eyes/ And many many times my memory came back to that gone-away minute
In the room, on chairs / You blouses are still whitening/ So, you are gone/ And nothing but a sorrowfull day has been left/ The day that is saddened by your parrot Flober / who in a corner constantly repeats his "j'amais, j'amais, j'amais" / And weeps... in French"

Frankie Trumbauer's Orchestra with Vocal refrain - No One Can Take Your Place, Odeon 1928 (USA)
Orie Frank ("Frankie" or "Tram") TRUMBAUER (1901 -- 1956) was one of the leading jazz saxophonists of the 1920s and 1930s. Born of part Cherokee ancestry in Carbondale, Illinois, Frank Trumbauer grew up in St Louis, Missouri, the son of a musical mother who directed saxophone and theater orchestras. His first important professional engagements were with the Edgar Benson and Ray Miller bands, shortly followed by the Mound City Blue Blowers. He was one of the most influential and important jazz saxophonists who played the C-melody saxophone, alto and tenor saxophone. He also played alto bassoon, clarinet and several other instruments. He was a composer, and was one of the major jazz bandleaders of the 1920s and 1930s. His landmark recording of "Singin' the Blues," with Bix Beiderbecke and Eddie Lang in 1927, is regarded as one of the greatest jazz performances ever recorded. His major recordings included "Krazy Kat", "Trumbology" and "For No Reason at All in C" with Bix Beiderbecke and Eddie Lang, and the first hit recording of "Georgia On My Mind" in 1931 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCCmSP...
See also "I Like To Do Things For You" (with Mildred Bailey) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9JlSx... and "Bye Bye Blues" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQn3Uz...
Attention! I regret I made a mistake at 0:20 putting Trumbauer's name on his photo as "Fred" - I'm sorry, FRANKIE!!!
