Whistling Rufus - The International Novelty Quartet

The International Novelty Quartet and The International Novelty Orchestra started appearing in record catalogues in the late 1920's and during the 1930's, becoming extremely popular with a string of best selling discs. No known serious study seems to have been made on the different groups formed solely as studio units to make records, with the xylophone and clever arrangements being always a special feature. They brought together some of the best musicians in England and also USA. Information on the participants is scant. These 'house bands' released discs in Europe under the this name also. The International Novelty Orchestra in the USA was a pseudonym for the Victor house band that made records by a band that Nat Shilkret conducted in the Victor studios. The pseudonym was first used in March 1922. The session data for US recordings has been published in Brian Rust's 'American Dance Band Discography'. Between 1922 and 1927 a total of 135 tracks were recorded, 36 of these were rejected and 99 were released on Victor in USA. Seventeen different vocalists were used but many tracks were no vocal.
