The Charleston Chasers - Columbia 909 (1927)

From wikipedia…

The Charleston Chasers was a name used between 1925 and 1930 for a series of recording groups that did not exist outside of the studios. Nobody ever heard this group perform in front of the public, although each of the players had plenty of bandstand experience. The Charleston Chasers existed only as a studio recording ensemble for Columbia Records.

“It’s a family affair…” – Sly Stone

This afternoon, my Mom was on her way back home from jury duty and decided to do some antiquing. She wasn’t sure what she had found but got it anyway because she liked the name of the band. Good eye, Mom!

Roger Wolfe Kahn & His Orchestra / George Olsen & His Music - Victor 20327 (1926)

Just read where Roger Wolfe Kahn learned to play 18 instruments by the time he lead his first orchestra...at age 16. He apparently lost interest in music and in 1941, became a test pilot for Grumman.

George Olsen and His Music appear on the flip side. Although not on this recording, Fred MacMurray (movie and tv star) played saxophone in Olsen's group in 1930. I recently saw an episode of The Jack benny Show where many stars showed up for a jam session in Benny's living room...among them, MacMurray and his sax.
