Alfred A. Bernard was an American vaudeville singer, known as
"The Boy From Dixie", who was most popular during the 1910s
through early 1930s. W. C. Handy credited Bernard with helping
his own career by recording a number of his songs, notably "St.
Louis Blues". He was the first American singer to record the
song "Frankie and Johnny" in America. He also co-wrote songs
with Jimmy Durante. In the 1930s & 40s, he recorded
hillbilly songs with the Goofus Five, predicting the western
swing style.
Walter John "Jack" Buchanan was a Scottish theatre and film
actor, singer, producer and director. He is best known in
America for his role in the classic Hollywood musical The Band
Wagon in 1953. Gertrude Lawrence was an English actress, singer,
dancer and musical comedy performer known for her stage
appearances in London's West End and on New York's Broadway. The
King and I, the Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein musical,
opened on Broadway in March 1951, and Lawrence won the Tony
Award for Best Actress in a Musical for her performance.
Franklyn Baur was a popular tenor vocal recording artist. Baur
made hundreds of recordings for about a dozen different
recording companies, including the three major labels, Victor,
Columbia and Brunswick.
Leo Reisman was a violinist and bandleader in the 1920s and
1930s. Born and reared in Boston, Reisman studied violin as a
young man, and formed his own band in 1919. He became famous for
having over 80 hits on the popular charts during his career.
Jerome Kern called Reisman's orchestra "The String Quartet of
Dance Bands".

In 1969, Tim Hauser and Erin Dickins co-founded Manhattan
Transfer, with Tim's longtime friend Pat Rosalia and Marty
Nelson. The group was soon signed by Dick Asher at Capitol
Records, and recorded their first album, Jukin' in Nashville
with a guest artist, singer/songwriter Gene Pistilli. The album
featured several Pistilli compositions, songs from the Gene
Goldkette Orchestra and Fats Waller, and The Ink Spot's "Java
Jive," a perennial Manhattan Transfer favorite.
Wilfred Theodore (Ted) Weems (originally Wemyes) (26 September
1901 - 6 May 1963) was a United States bandleader and musician.
Weems' work in music was recognized with a star on the Hollywood
Walk of Fame.

| Ted Weems |
Ted Weems was a popular mid-western bandleader who started his
band in 1923 while attending the University of Pennsylvania.
Around 1925 he moved his band to Chicago where he played in
hotels and ballrooms around the city while also touring the
mid-west. In 1932 The Weems Orchestra started appearing
regularly on a sponsored nationwide radio program with Jack
Benny. It was through radio that Weems made a name for himself
and he continued to be associated with popular radio programs
throughout the 1930s and 1940s such as The Fibber McGee and
Molly Show and Beat The Band. In 1936 vocalist Perry Como joined
the band. In 1942 the Weems Orchestra disbanded when Ted joined
the Merchant Marines. After World War II, Weems put together
another band which continued until the early 1950s.
Irving Milfred Mole, better known as Miff Mole was a jazz
trombonist and band leader. He is generally considered as one of
the greatest jazz trombonists and credited with creating "the
first distinctive and influential solo jazz trombone style." His
major recordings included "Slippin' Around", "Red Hot Mama" in
1924 with Sophie Tucker on vocals, "Miff's Blues", "There'll
Come a Time (Wait and See)", on the film soundtrack to the 2008
movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and "Toddlin' Blues"
and "Davenport Blues", recorded in 1925 with Bix Beiderbecke and
Tommy Dorsey as Bix Beiderbecke and His Rhythm Jugglers.
