"Eddie's Hungarian Influence"

Advertisement

This recording was produced in Chicago on September 27th 1931 featuring Eddie South violin & vocals, J. Wright Smith violin, Clifford King clarinet, Antonio Spaulding piano, Everett Barksdale guitar, Milt Hinton string bass, and Jimmy Bertrand drums.

*"Hejre Kati" was composed by Jeno Hubay.

Exposure to Hungarian folk music had a massive impact on Eddie South's violin playing while he was touring Europe between 1928 and 1930.

Although he was still recognizable as the same violinist, records produced after his return a quite different from those he made with his "Alabamians" just a couple of years earlier.

This piece is Eddie South's jazzed-up rendition of a popular dance number written by a prominent Hungarian violinist and composer Jeno Hubay whose works are known for bearing a strong romantic quality.
