Atlantic Dance Orchestra - Radio

2010-02-20 5 Dailymotion

This band, led by Louis Katzman, is hardly known today, but they made quite a few excellent records in 1923-1924. Personnel is unknown, except vocalist Arthur Hall. This funny record was made in 1924. Since Katzman is unjustly forgotten I found no pictures of him. I added some sheet music by the author of this song, and a selection of period radio advertisements. It should be noted this orchestra performed under many pseudonyms like Biltmore Club Orch. (ca. 1929); Brunswick Salon Orchestra (ca. 1931); The Castillians. (1927-1934); Jazz-O-Harmonists; Louis Katzman Colonial Orch. (ca. 1929); Louis Katzman Concert Orch. (ca. 1930); Louis Katzman Brunswick Orch. (ca. 1929); Whitall's Anglo-Persians Orch. (ca. 1927-1930); Louis Katzman and His Orch. (Mostly 1934).
