RUBE BLOOM notes
The Rube Bloom piano solos are in chronological order by
recording date. Earlier versions of "Soliloquy" and "Spring
Fever" were cut in 1926.
The tracks following the Bloom solos might be more
felicitously sequenced 24-25-21-22-23.
On the Iragen record (from Gennett masters) the info for
both sides (including the misspelled Biederbecke) is on the
side that plays "Holiday." The side that plays "In A Mist"
has a label with a wordless black-and-white modernistic design
including a strobe pattern keyed to 78 rpm.
