Just now, Ella Fitzgerald's Stairway to the Stars on XM Radio Online on channel 4 - 40s on 4.
Fletch said:Delta Bound - Chick Bullock & his Levee Loungers, 1933, featuring an unusual amount of Jimmy Dorsey's alto sax.
That's What I Call Keen - Eddie South & his Alabamians (it's hard not to type "Abalamians"), 1928. Eddie fiddlin' up a mess and the band doubles as vocal quartet.
Sweet Jennie Lee - The National Cavaliers, 1930. Proper close quartet harmony à la The Revelers.
Negra Soy (rumba) - Nilo Menendez y su Orquesta, 1934. The classic Cuban style of muted trumpet, piano and a whole buncha percussion. Cantado en español.
A Harlem Symphony (Part 1) - Spike Hughes & his Orch., 1932. An interesting experiment in Ellingtonia that actually doesn't sound like imitation Duke.
Singing Between Kisses - Joe Haymes & his Orch., 1934. Bud Freeman features with the snappy proto-swing outfit then resident at New York's McAlpin Hotel.
Just some of the delights to be heard over streaming Radio Dismuke.

The most common cause for the "check engine" light to come on is a faulty gas cap. The code will read "small evaporative emissions leak".
When I get that code, I remove the gas cap, clean it and the filler pipe, and replace the cap. The "check engine" light then usually goes off several starts later.
Hope that helps.
Wilfred Glenn maybe? He was really the linchpin of that group with his reedy bass.vitanola said:The National Cavaliers are so very good, but seem to be missing something possessed by the Revelers, I don't know just what, though.
Haven't heard that version, but catch the 1931 Victor. I used to wonder whether Eddie was singing off-color on that one - he scats, then sings something almost intelligible, but not quite.I love everything that I've ever heard Eddie South play, most particularly his jazz deconstruction of that old concert warhorse "Hjere Kati", which he recorded for Decca in the late 1930's.
Yup. He also just went by the one name Cornell, his real name being Cornell Smelser (which sounds like the setup for a joke, which may be why he didn't use it much).Mysterious Mose said:Professor Fletch, I'm no scholar but I love Accordeon (in) Jazz. Is Jack Cornell= Joe Cornell= Cornell Smelzer all the same guy?
You need ideas?LizzieMaine said:"There's Honey On The Moon Tonight." Must be kind of sticky, but what can you do.

He was Hungarian by birth, and quite a virtuoso. As this 1950 article details, he was very popular indeed until contracting tuberculosis in 1931. That stopped his career cold - we don't even know when he died.
