I just wish I could have played this recording of Proud Of a Baby Like You by the Bratislavia Hot Serenaders for Paul Mertz when I visited him in 1983.

I have a cd by this band and I think that they come the closest of any band to sounding like the 1920′s bands. The other band that I thought came the closest was the Original Prague Syncopated Orchestra but they aren’t around anymore. There is no band I ever have heard in the U.S. that even comes close to the authentic sound of the Bratislava Hot Serenaders. This recording of theirs is uncannily close to the original Jean Goldkette recording made for Victor in 1926.
