The song "Who Believed In You?" is sometimes called "Who."
All Star Trio & Their Orchestra
Victor 18890
1922
Anatol Friedland song
From 1918 to 1922, this trio consisting of xylophonist George Hamilton Green, pianist Victor Arden, and saxophonist Frank Wheeler Wadsworth recorded popular numbers of the day.
It was known as Wadsworth's Novelty Dance Orchestra on Pathé records.
Solo performances by Green had been regularly issued by Edison since June 1917 but they were of a classical or semi-classical nature. Wadsworth and Arden were a recording team by early 1918, their Pathé recording of Handy's "Memphis Blues" (20378) issued in July 1918.
The trio began recording in the autumn of 1918 for various companies, covering "Just Blue" for Edison, Victor, Columbia, and even the new Okeh label. Edison issued it in January 1919 as Blue Amberol 3624. It was followed in February by "Hindustan" on Blue Amberol 3645.
"Arabian Nights" was issued on Blue Amberol 3667 in March 1919.
The trio's first Victor session was on September 20, 1918, though "Just Blue," cut on this date, was held for several months. The trio returned to the Victor studio on December 3, 1918, to record Creamer and Layton's "Sweet 'n' Pretty" (18520), and the March 1919 Victor supplement announcing its release states that here was "a new instrumental combination."
It adds, "The saxophone carries the melody supported by the piano, while the merry xylophone plays a fantastic obbligato all of its own." Many dance records at this time "introduced" a contrasting melody, in this case the All Star Trio performing bits of "I'm Waiting for You, 'Liza Jane." Victor characterized most of its All Star Trio discs as "medley fox trots."
This Victor debut record was followed with an April release of two fox trots, "I'll Say She Does" backed by "You're Some Pretty Doll" (18527). The Victor supplement for April 1919 states that from this combination of instruments "comes music that no self-respecting dancer could afford to ignore. 'I'll Say She Does' is a fox trot with a few sudden halts that will give the trotters an opportunity; but the time is perfect throughout. The medley introduces also 'Tackin' 'em Down'...There isn't a dull moment in the whole record. Notice the special 'Jazz' finish at the end of each number."
From the trio's first Victor session nearly a year earlier, "Just Blue" was finally issued in June 1919 on Victor 18547.
Blue Amberol 3696, featuring "Sand Dunes--One Step," was issued in April 1919. Edison promotional literature states, "The All Star Trio has made good with its modern dance records... You will find this rendition full of pep--an ideal One-Step number."
Among other numbers, the three musicians recorded for Edison "Sensation" (50541), first recorded in 1918 by the Original Dixieland Jazz Band for Victor (the only instrument used in both versions is piano).
