Roaring Twenties: Willie Creager & His Orchestra - Broadway Melody, 1929

Willie Creager & His Orchestra – Broadway Melody (from The Broadway Melody) Fox-Trot (Freed-Brown) with Vocal Chorus by Jerry White, Banner 1929 (USA)

NOTE: Very little is known about this bandleader and his really fine orchestra. All I succeeded in was finding out in the web original photo of Willie Creager and his Ambassadors Orchestra published in the Vocalion Records leaflet in ca 1924 – a proof that such American dance band existed at all (Some claim that “Willie Creager” was one of many pseudonyms used by Adrian Schubert’s orchestra). Nothing is certain about that guy besides one fact: every recording of his band is superb and there’s no question, his hot dance recordings belong to the best of his time.
