Description

W. C. Handy composed "Yellow Dog Blues," a FOX TROT, which on this 4-minute Edison Blue Amberol cylinder # 3991 is played by Harry Raderman's Jazz Orchestra. The recording was made March 17, 1920 in New York City. HARRY RADERMAN (1883- 1939), a trombonist known for his ability to make his trombone "laugh," recorded as a member of various Victor stage bands from 1917 throughout the 1920's, including Earl Fuller's Famous Jazz Band--and Ted Lewis and his Band. The photo in the video shows Lewis on clarinet and Earl Fuller at the piano. In additional to Raderman's Jazz Band, he also led Raderman's Novelty Orchestra, Harry Raderman's Orchestra, the Plantation Dance Orchestra, Raderman's Roysteres, and the Red Hotters. HARRY HAD A BROTHER who played the violin-- Lou Raderman--who also worked as a sideman and as a bandleader. THE PHONOGRAPH in the video is an Edison AMBEROLA model 50, mahogany finish. NOT INCIDENTALLY, our friend fuzzbear6240 also posted "Yellow Dog Blues," but his is by Ted Lewis's Band on a electrically recorded Columbia disc--made the better part of 10 years later. It's interesting to compare the two versions, because they are decidedly different even though most of the band personnel were the same. Notice the greater prominence of thetrombone on the cylinder, as that's Harry's instrument---and he's the leader in this version.
