Added another one to the Big Easy collection (had to go across the pond for this one).
This was the first recording by The Arcadian Serenaders...which would be called that after this session. It's also Sterling Bose's debut recording.
From wikipedia...
Sterling Belmont "Bozo" Bose (September 23, 1906,
Florence, Alabama - June 1958, St. Petersburg, Florida) was an American jazz
trumpeter and cornetist. His style was heavily influenced by Bix Beiderbecke and
changed little over the course of his life.
Bose's early experience came with Dixieland jazz bands in
his native Alabama before moving to St. Louis, Missouri in 1923. He played with
the Crescent City Jazzers and the Arcadian Serenaders, and with Jean Goldkette's Orchestra in 1927-28 after the departure of Beiderbecke. Following
this he worked in the house band at radio station WGN in Chicago before joining
Ben Pollack from 1930 to 1933. He also worked with Eddie Sheasby in Chicago,
and moved to New York City in 1933. He had many gigs in New York in the 1930s
and 1940s, including time with Joe Haymes (1934-35) and Tommy Dorsey (1935),
Ray Noble (1936), Benny Goodman (1936), Lana Webster, Glenn Miller (1937), Bob Crosby (1937-39), Bobby Hackett (1939), Bob Zurke, Jack Teagarden, Bud Freeman
(1942), George Brunies, Bobby Sherwood (1943), Miff Mole, Art Hodes, Horace
Heidt (1944), and Tiny Hill (1946). Following this he did some further
freelancing in Chicago and New York, and then moved to Florida in 1948, setting
up his own bands there.
