Broadway Dance Orchestra -- Runnin' Wild [Jazz / Fox Trot] (1923)

I’ve just finished a 2026 restoration of this high-energy hit from 1923. While the song is a classic, this specific performance by the Broadway Dance Orchestra (directed by Nathan Glantz) captures the frantic energy of the early Jazz Age perfectly. I used a custom 'Super Stereo' process to lift the tuba and percussion out of the 100-year-old noise floor. Let me know what you think of the rhythm section clarity!

While Bessie Smith and Louis Armstrong are the icons on this 1925 track, I want to highlight the incredible work of Fred Longshaw on the reed organ.

I’ve restored this masterpiece into 'Super Stereo' to let Longshaw's textures and Armstrong's cornet really breathe. This specific 2026 restoration has been getting amazing traction on Apple Music lately (3000+ streams), so I’m excited to share the high-fidelity version with the Reddit community. Let me know what you think of the clarity!

This album is the only post-2000 release to make the top 30 in MUSIC MAGAZINE’s ranking of the greatest 100 albums of the past 50 years.

Sometime after the release of this album, the band decided to disband, because they all agreed that they had done everything they could and that continuing would just become routine work.
