In a Little Garden (Whitemore & Iula) played by "The Sunny South Dance Orchestra" Beltona 1120

In a Little Garden (Whitemore – Iula) played by “The Sunny South Orchestra” Beltona 1120 (UK) – 78 rpm record Unknown vocalist. Brian Rust, in “British Dance Bands 1912 – 1939” (Rust & Walker, published by Storyville Publications, 1973) says that “Sunny South Orchestra” is a pseudonym for “Jeffries and His Rialto Orchestra.” He further states that Leslie Jeffries was a violinist and dance band director for various groups in London, Glasgow, and Edinburgh during the 1920s. He later became famous for his broadcasts from the Grand Hotel in Edinburgh in the 1930s, but these had nothing to do with dance music, apparently. Beltona Records was founded in 1923, and you can read a little more about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beltona... ) They seemed to release a lot of “folk” and popular music from Scotland. By golly, sometimes I feel that discographies are the bane of my existence. I wish everything was as easy to look up as the Original Dixieland Jass Band. Rust (& Walker) do not mention this record at all. However, he (they) does (do) mention Beltona 1016 (Pearl of Malabar) recorded in June of 1926, so I’m taking a wild guess that that is approximately when this song was recorded. It also sounds like an acoustic recording. I did the best I could using Vinyl Studio to manage noise. This record was in appalling shape, so with my abilities to use Vinyl Studio, such as they are, I was able to bring some clarity to it, but only at the expense of removing some high frequencies. ----------------------------------------------- Here is an update from June 29, 2024. Martin and some other listeners have rightly pointed out that this is in fact, a pseudonym for "Joe Candullo and his Everglades Orchestra" and not the band which I originally identified above. Thank you everyone for correcting this information! Much appreciated! According to Johnson & Shirley, "American Dance Bands on Record & Film 1915 - 1942" p. 497, they do not state exact personnel for this session (with the exception of the infamous Eddie Chester doing the vocal), but may possibly include any of the following: Mike Mosiello, Harry Susnow, or Leo McConville (trumpets); Red Nichols (cornet); Ray Stillwell or Miff Mole (trombone); Joe Candullo (violin, leader); Frank de Carlo (piano); John Montesanto (banjo); Nick Ferrara (brass bass); Billy Southard (drums). Originally released on Gennett 3385 (hence the not terribly wonderful audio quality) and recorded in NYC on September 9, 1926. Once again, thanks to any and all who corrected my previously incorrect information.
