http://www.artistopia.com/hessionsessionBeing a great fan of the Marx Brothers, Jim was intrigued with the Thalberg touch, the inclusion of Afro-American music stars singing, dancing and playing pseudo spirituals such as this musical piece. Harpo's son, Bill Marx told us one time that Irving Thalberg's heart was in the right place, a kind and appreciative director that valued the contributions of the black musicians to the American culture.Ivie Anderson was the featured singer in the movie version of "Day At The Races". Those of you who like Duke Ellington will remember the recordings that he made with Ivie Anderson. Harpo's son, Bill Marx, is an accomplished jazz pianist in Calif.
