Missouri Jazz Band - I'm Gonna Count My Sheep

Missouri Jazz Band was one of tbe many pseudonyms used by Adrian Schubert, extremely prolific musical director and bandleader. However, if one considers a "bandleader" to be the captain at the helm of a somewhat regular group of individuals working together, Schubert was no bandleader at all. Every record he made came out under another band name; many of the same individual players were hired for some of these sessions as well. The number of pseudonyms is staggering: Adrian Schubert's Dance orchestra (for the British Imperial Label) Adrian Schubert's Salon orchestra (for the Imperial Label) Joe Dubin's Dance Orchestra (for the Apex label) Dubin's Dandies. (for the Crown, Romeo, and also Banner labels) Al Alberts and His Orchestra Matty Crawford's Orchestra. (for the Crown label) Buddy Bartlett's Orchestra (for the Crown label) Imperial Dance Orchestra. (for the English Imperial Label) Majestic Dance Orchestra. (for the English Imperial Label) Roy Carlson's Dance Orchestra. (for the Jewel label) Ernie Noble & His Orch. (for the Oriole label) Fred Cooper's Dance Orchestra (for the Crown label) Don Jose & His Orch. (for the Sterling label) The Red Dandies. (for the Crown label) Tom Gott and His Rose Room Orchestra (for the Oriole label) Clarence Sherman's Orch. (for the Sterling label) Al Lynch and His Orchestra (for the Domino label) Pierrot Syncopators (for the Domino label) Willie Creager and His Orchestra (for the Oriole label) Ted White's Collegians; (for the Crown and Oriole labels) Dixie Jazz Band. (for the Oriole label). To make confusion complete, finally, it should be noted that several of the pseudonyms were used for different bands - not just Schubert's (in itself not very stable) orchestra. This sparkling arrangement was recorded in 1929. Vocal by Jerry White. As I found no pictures of Schuberts's orchestra, I included in the video some relevant details of period sheet music covers.
