Bolig The advent of this online discography is a continuation of record descriptions that were compiled by me and published in book form by Allan Sutton, the publisher and owner of Mainspring Press. When undertaking our work, Allan and I were aware of the work started by Ted Fa- gan and Bill Moran, in which they intended to account for every recording made by the Victor Talking Machine Company. We decided to take on what we believed was a more practical approach, one that best met the needs of record collectors. Simply stat- ed, Fagan and Moran were describing recordings that were not necessarily published; I believed record collectors were interested in records that were actually available. We decided to account for records found in Victor catalogs, ones that were purchased and found in homes after 1901 as 78rpm discs, many of which have become highly sought- after collector’s items.

It was slow in coming, compounded as it was from the rhythm and blues of black sources, with additions of creole songs, Scotch-Irish folk ballads and country hoe-down.

  • The Roseland Ballroom
    The Roseland Ballroom Roseland was founded initially in Philadelphia in 1917 by Louis Brecker. In 1919, it was moved to 1658 Broadway at 51st Street in New York. It was a "whites only" dance club called the "home of refined dancing", famed for the "society orchestra" groups that played there. The all-white, ballroom-dancing atmosphere gradually changed with the popularity of hot jazz, as played by African American bands on the New York nightclub scene. Louis Armstrong, Count Basie, Chick Webb, Vincent Lopez, Harry James, Tommy Dorsey, and Glenn Miller were just some of the bands that played at the Roseland. As the club grew older, Brecker attempted to formalize the dancing more by having hostesses dance for 11¢ a dance or $1.50 a half-hour, with tuxedoed bouncers keeping order. It was to work its way into stories by Ring Lardner, Sherwood Anderson, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and John O'Hara. The original New York Roseland was torn down in 1956 and it moved to its new venue on West 52nd, a building that Brecker earlier had converted from an ice-skating rink to a roller-skating rink. A thousand skaters showed up on opening night at the 80-by-200-foot rink on November 29, 1922. Iceland went bankrupt in 1932 and the rink opened as the Gay Blades Ice Rink. Brecker took it over in the 1950s and converted it to roller-skating. In 1974, Brecker told The New York Times, "Cheek-to- cheek dancing, that's what this place is all about." Brecker sold the building in 1981 to Albert Ginsberg.

  • A Portrait of Glenn Miller
    A PORTRAIT OF GLENN MILLER Alton Glenn Miller (1904-1944) Produced by: DENNIS M. SPRAGG Updated April 2018 1 Alton Glenn Miller, 1904-1944 Produced by Dennis M. Spragg, with commentary from the GMA George T. Simon (1912-2001) Collection and Papers, Edward F. Polic Papers and Christopher Way Collection. Foreword By Harry Lillis “Bing” Crosby (1904-1977) “As the years go by, I am increasingly grateful that I was a tiny part of the era of the great swing bands. This was the golden age of popular music for me. They were all great, but I have to think that the Glenn Miller band was the greatest. Unlike so many of the others, Glenn was not a virtuoso instrumental soloist. And so instead of his horn he did it with great personnel and innovative harmonic experiments producing a sound that was his and his alone. Glenn employed a harmonization that was new and vastly different. If I even attempted a description of what he did, I would be immediately adrift. I think it was the way he voiced his instruments. It was just beautiful. And when you heard the sound, it was recognizable and memorable. It was just Glenn Miller. Glenn as a person was just as memorable. He was a very good personal friend, from the early days on, ever since he performed on some of the records I made with the Dorsey Brothers Orchestra during the early stages of my career. During World War II we were united for the last time, when I sang in London with his great AAF Orchestra.

  • Who Was Einar Swan? a Study in Jazz Age Fame and Oblivion
    WHO WAS EINAR SWAN? A STUDY IN JAZZ AGE FAME AND OBLIVION By Sven Bjerstedt Einar Swan. Portrait from the Worcester Telegram, April 24, 1927. 1 PREFACE ”Our bloom is hasty and we fade for ages,” sighs the poet.1 This melancholy reflection on human life conditions is well exemplified by the case of Einar Swan. Ask a person in the street to tell you what he knows about Duke Ellington. There will probably be an answer, more or less informative. Enquire about the 1920s ‘King of Jazz,’ Paul Whiteman, and the quality of the answers will vary significantly (perhaps depending on which street you choose to employ for your query). Now ask about Whiteman’s competitor Vincent Lopez. The outcome of your enquiry will be even fewer and less significant answers. We are now rapidly approaching the level of obscurity. Ask for information concerning Lopez’s head arranger and lead saxophonist, the multi-instrumentalist and hit composer Einar Swan. The results will be meagre in the extreme. In fact, not even a handful of the world’s most knowledgeable jazz historians will have anything at all to tell you. I have always loved the song “When Your Lover Has Gone” by E. A. Swan and was very surprised to suddenly one day find out that Swan’s first name was Einar. It most definitely seemed to have a Scandinavian ring to it. I asked everyone I could think of for information on Einar Swan. Nobody seemed to know anything at all about him. That made me really curious. This was the beginning of a search that turned out to be quite difficult.
