Orig Issue Victor Batwing 10" 78 rpm record Condition: EXCELLENT light scuffs, light scratch last 7mm on LIGHTS causes rare ticksPlays very quietA GREAT COPY From RedhotJazz Website Edgar A. Benson was a 'cellist' who became an impresario, managing many bands in Chicago from 1920 to 1930. The Number One orchestra was originally directed by pianist Roy Bargy, who left the Benson organization at the end of 1922, and Don Bestor, also a pianist, took his place at the front of a new orchestra that for the first eight months featured the forward-looking saxophone work of Frank Trumbauer. Two of the most jazz-oriented sides that the Benson Orchestra of Chicago recorded are included here: Copenhagen must be one of the hottest versions on record next to the Wolverines' own(it was recorded by them with Bix Beiderbecke leading on cornet just four months prior to the Benson version), and Riverboat Shuffle, written by Hoagy Carmichael with the Wolverines in mind, is another from the Wolverines' date, but which the Bensons did not record until a year had elapsed. By that time, recording had become electric, and the warmth of the Benson Orchestra is much more apparent. Pianist Roy Bargy got his professional start accompanying films in silent movie houses in Toledo, Ohio. In 1919 he moved to Chicago and was hired by Charley Straight at the Imperial Piano Roll Company. Bargy's job was to edit piano rolls and to write his own ragtime and novelty pieces for publication on piano roll. Bargy made his first record with Charley Straight and Paul Biese in 1919 as the Imperial Three. In 1921 Bargy left Imperial and became the musical director of the Benson Orchestra of Chicago until 1922. He joined the Isham Jones and his Orchestra sometime after that. He took over the piano chair in the Paul Whiteman Orchestra in 1928 and eventually became second in command within the band. Bargy continued to work with Whiteman until 1940. In 1940 Bargy was very active in radio as a conductor. He led bands for the studio orchestras of Lanny Ross, Xavier Cugat and Gerry Moore. In 1943 he was hired as Jimmy Durante's musical director and stayed with Jimmy for the next twenty years.

Any other defects are stated separately When I listen to a record, I may also give it an aural grade (again E to P), and make a SUBJECTIVE judgment of the pressing quality for hiss and surface noise."EXCEPTIONALLY QUIET" is close to noiseless, like a vinyl pressing."VERY QUIET" is an above average quiet record for a given pressing."Quiet" is a record that is a great example with some noise. These judgments are SUBJECTIVE and will depend one the styli, phonograph etc. you use on your own equipment. Multiple item shipping: I am happy to combine items for shipment in one parcel.
