Oliver Naylor's Orchestra
Roaring Twenties - In 1923, a pianist Oliver Naylor formed his first band "Oliver Naylor & His Seven Aces" and in 1924 appeared in New York's famed Roseland Ballroom. They also made their first recordings in 1924. After leaving Roseland, their next venue was the Knickerbocker Grill (also in New York), and in 1925 Naylor returned to Roseland as 'Oliver Naylor's Orchestra.'
During 1924-25, he recorded as 'Naylor's Seven Aces'. In 1925, the band also recorded some tunes for Victor as Oliver Naylor's Orchestra.
All through the 1920's Naylor's band toured the East Coast, without achieving national fame. Thus, his band joined the family of great great forgotten orchestras of the Jazz Era.
Ben Bernie's famous charleston "Sweet Georgia Brown" is played extremely hot, with the fantastic sense of the vigour and tempo of that crazy dance.
