Lanin's Arcadians
Biography
Septet put together by ubiquitous band organizer Sam Lanin, notable for the presence of Miff Mole and Frank Trumbauer. The others in the lineup circa 1924 were Roy Johnson, Chuck Miller, Rube Bloom, Frank DiPrima, and Ward Archer -- Johnson, Bloom, DiPrima, and Archer had previously played and recorded with Mole and Trumbauer in the Brunswick in-house outfit the Cotton Pickers led by clarinetist Bennie Kreuger. They're best remembered today for a pair of sides from a May 1924 New York session that constitute some of the 22-year-old Trumbauer's earliest extant recorded work. ~ Bruce Eder, Rovi
