Comedy Tom March by Gus King (1917)

Original listing and sheet music here: https://musescore.com/user/36482158/s... Tom Brown was the leader of a popular saxophone sextet known as the Six Brown Brothers. They were originally from Canada but became well established in the vaudeville circuits in the United States. Originally they performed using a number of instruments but eventually they used an array of saxophones exclusively. The brothers were very successful and helped to popularize the saxophone as an instrument in the early jazz era. This march was written at the height of the group's popularity, when they were appearing on Broadway in the musical Chin Chin. Tom was the group's main comedian, hence the title "Comedy Tom". The march was published by Will Rossiter in Chicago in 1917. "Comedy Tom" played by the Six Brown Brothers on Victor Records in 1917:    • Comedy Tom - Six Brown Brothers   Musescore researcher Erlingl was able to put together the following bio on the composer Gus King: Gus King was born in Montreal, Canada in 1875. (some sources say 1873). He was educated at Boston Conservatory of Music and National Conservatory of Music. He became a highly respected musician playing the trombone and saxophone in orchestras (including also with Sousa and Victor Herbert). From about 1915 and for 10-15 years he founded his own bands “specializing” in brass instruments and performing “all over America (and Canada)” at vaudeville theatres. One of the female participants also playing the trombone was Hazel Griffin (1885 – 1973). They married around 1921-22 but had no children. After marrying the couple settled in Reading, Pennsylvania and Gus worked as orchestra leader and music teacher there for many years. In 1951 his “Comedy Tom” was played at a concert “with Gus King in the audience”. He died in 1966.
