Hollywood Dance Orchestra - Say It Again

  • 13 years ago
This was a Nathan Glantz (ca.1860 - 1937) pseudonym. While little recalled now, Nathan Glantz was one of the better known U.S. orchestras. He recorded under a lot of pseudonyms among which were 'Hollywood Dance Orch.', Roy Collins' Dance Orchestra (1927), and the 'Continental Dance Orchestra' (1926 this name was also used by Joseph Samuels Orch.). Between 1923 and 1930, Glantz also recorded under the name of 'The Dixie Jazz Band' for the Challenge, Jewel, and Oriole labels, all subsidiaries of the Scranton (PA) Button Company. This great recording was made in 1926, with a vocal by Irving Kaufman, who performed and recorded with jazz combos and dance bands as well as on Broadway and in vaudeville, so busy he had to use pseudonyms to avoid violating contracts or otherwise irritating people in the music business. Kaufman is said to have recorded more songs than any other popular tenor singer during the '20s.
