The Ortner-Roberts Duo performs at 3rd Street Gallery, Carnegie, PA, August 16th 08."A Trip to America", originally recorded in 1928 by Abe Schwartz's Orchestra. The Rumanian born Schwartz's (1881-1963) recording career began in the late 'teens and continued through the early Forties, Schwartz produced more klezmer recordings than any other band leader and set the standard for the new American klezmer orchestra - retaining the old world sound while introducing more contemporary instruments and sounds. "Die Reize Nuch Amerika" ("A Trip to America") is one such example. The opening theme is very Old World. (Listen carefully to the unusual bass line that creates a lovely counter line.) The second section is supposed to represent the new world with its ragtime syncopations. However by 1928 the cakewalk was very old fashioned. So we step it up a notch, and this trip to America lands in Baltimore and we find the klezmorim sitting in with Eubie Blake as they visit Aggie Shelton's bawdyhouse. Schwartz, a violinist, pianist, and composer, is perhaps better known for hiring and recording the great virtuoso clarinetists who would go on to establish themselves as the most famous and influential klezmorim. Naftule Brandwein who then was fired and replaced with Dave Tarras who was featured on the original recording of "A Trip to America".
