Title

Description
English: Isham Jones Rainbo Orchestra - Japanese Sandman (Whiting) Fox-Trot with Violin passages by Leo Murphy & Piano passages by Alfred Eldridge, Brunswick 1920 (USA)

NOTE: In 1920s (until 1932, when he moved to New York City) Isham Jones – leader of one of the most popular dance orchestras in the 1920s and 1930s - played with his own band in Chicago, Illinois at the Green Mill Gardens, then began playing at Fred Mann's Rainbo Gardens. His band made a series of popular gramophone records for Brunswick throughout the 1920s. His first 26 sides, made at Rainbo Gardens, were credited to "Isham Jones' Rainbo Orchestra”. By the end of 1920, the name was simply "Isham Jones' Orchestra”.

The song is about a sandman from Japan, who exchanges yesterdays for tomorrows. The number has a very Oriental atmosphere, and is similar to many other songs from the 1920s that have an Oriental or exotic setting. Nora Bayes made a popular recording of the song in 1920. It has been subsequently performed by many musical artists like Paul Whiteman Art Hickman, Benny Goodman, Bix Beiderbecke, Freddie Rich , Django Reinhardt or the Andrews Sisters.
