    The next tune was “A Garden In the Rain” I believe, very authentic sounding

    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 knew Paul Mertz who played piano for the Goldkette band in the 1920′s and was on many of their original recordings with Bix. Unfortunately the Bratislava Serenaders were not around then because Paul Mertz would have been amazed at how close they come to capturing the Goldkette band’s sound. My husband recorded Paul Mertz playing Hurricane.

    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.

    I recognize the tune at the beginning of the video as Proud of A Baby Like You. The band sounds like they are playing the Jean Goldkette version or arrangement and they are very good. Who are they?
