Edison Dance Bands #4 CD176D

I used a little science to get around the rumble issue with these vertical cut Edison Diamond Disc records. I use a very special vintage tonearm made by Pickering - the 190D. The arm has no vertical travel aside from a very light assembly holding the cartridge. Because of enertia, when the record is played at a low speed, the small assembly can move up and down with the irregularities, reducing the rumble. However, the bass frequencies were reduced due to the extremely low mass of the cartridge assembly. The solution was adding some mass to the assembly, which, because of inertia, the added mass serves to stabilize the cartridge, and extract the lower frequencies. I started this project about 30 years ago, and had recorded about 20 of my Edison Doamond Disc records and passed them on to other collectors, so for those I had to rely on my original transfers. The rest are fresh transfers from records still in my collection. The resulting warmth and depth of sound is really amazing. I only wish I'd kept the records for my original selection to do the fresh transfers for them too. They still sound pretty good regardless.

It seems that Dave Kaplan played piano on at least a few of the records labelled "Atlantic Dance Orchestra". Marcheta is labelled "McNalpak's D.O" and is actually Kaplan's Melodists. Al Burt's Orchestra featured Vic D'Ippolito-Billy Asmus-t/ Louis De Sentis-tb/ Joe Wirshup-as/ Joe Dubin-ts/ Ray romano-p/ Frank Di Prima-bj/ Connie Traeger-bb/ Johnny Hoffman-d On Fuzzy Wuzzy Bird a slapped sax - either bass or baritone plays toward the end. Pianist Ernest L.Stevens had both a trio and full band. The trio featured himself, Frank Crum-as/ Neal Litt-bj. The full band you hear on Dirty Hands Dirty Face is Red Nichols-c/ Chuck Campbell-tb/Frank Crum-as-ts/Bill Morse-vn/ Dusty Rhoades-d. Please note that as Red Nichols was born in 1905, he was only 18 when this was recordsd. Chuck Campbell's name is pencilled in in Rust's Jazz discography for the "All Star Orchestra". He accompanied Gene Austin on "The Voice Of The Southland" in 1928 and Without That Gal in 1931. A Brunswick session with Campbell in 1934 featured the Boswell Sisters and musicians Bunny Berigan-t/Jimmy Dorsey-cl/ Larry Binyon-cl. A session with Bix Beiderbecke in 1928 by the Broadway Bell Hops for Harmony started off with Bix-c/ Bill Rank-tb/ then for the final cut in the session the lineup was Mannie Klein-t/ Chuck Campbell-tb/ along with a steller roup of musicians.He also played with the California Ramblers, Colonial Club Orchestra, Grey Gull Studio Bands, the Dorsey Brothers Orchestra, backed up Jane Green on Vic 20509, the High Hatters, Sam Lanin's Ipana Troubadours, Johnny Johnson, Roger Wolfe Kahn, George Olsen, Sid Phillips, Ben Selvin, Nat Shilkret, a session for Gennett in 1922 with the Syncopating Seven, with Kay Thompson in 1937, the Varsity Eight, the Virginians, and played in the Victor Light Opera medleys - a man to watch!!! ~ Mickey Clark
