Matt Tolentino sings and plays the 1918 hit song "After You've Gone" with accompaniment from several musicians during the finale concert at the 2018 West Coast Ragtime Festival.
The earliest recording was by Marion Harris, in July of 1918. Hear that here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VW33oH_EkW4 --
It also was recorded by many greats such as Billy Murray, Sophie Tucker, Bessie Smith, Ruth Etting, Louis Armstrong, Bing Crosby, Fats Waller, Al Jolson and many others.
The backup musicians from left to right:
Anne Barnhart, flute
Julia Riley, piccolo
Petra Sullivan, violin
Cheryl Woldseth, bass saxophone
Stephanie Trick, piano
Lisa Gonick, banjo
Virginia Tichenor, drums
That all the backup musicians were women prompted the comment that this proves the accordion is a chick magnet.
