This lovely performance is one of Mildred Baileys earliest records, waxed on September 15th, 1931. The accompanying orchestra remained uncredited, but fortunately Brunswick Records: A Discography of Recordings, 1916-1931 states we hear the Casa Loma Orchestra, active from 1927 to 1963. It did not tour after 1950 but continued to record as a studio group. It began its existence in 1927 as the Orange Blossoms, one of several Detroit-area groups that came out of the Jean Goldkette office. It was a co-operative organization, fronted for the first few years by violinist Hank Biagini, although the eventual leader, saxophonist Glen Gray (1900-1963) was from the very beginning "first among equals." The band had adopted the Casa Loma name by the time of its first recordings in 1929, shortly after it was supposed to play an engagement at Casa Loma in Toronto, which was then operating as a hotel. Ironically, as lead trombonist Billy Rauch noted, the band never actually played the Casa Loma. From 1929 until the rapid multiplication in the number of swing bands from 1935 on, the Casa Loma Orchestra was one of the top North American dance bands. Hits included "Casa Loma Stomp," "No Name Jive" and "Maniac's Ball". Part of the reason for the band's decline is that other big bands included in their books hard-swinging numbers emulating the hot Casa Loma style. In the late 1930s Gray took top billing, and by the mid-1940s (as the other original players left) Gray would come to own the band and the Casa Loma name. For a time, during this period, the band featured guitarist Herb Ellis, trumpeter Bobby Hackett, pianist Nick Denucci and cornetist Red Nichols. By 1950, the Casa Loma band had ceased touring, Gray retired to Massachusetts, and the later recordings on Capitol (the Sounds of the Great Bands series) were done by studio musicians in Hollywood. By the time this recording was made, some of the personel was as follows: "Pee Wee" Walter Hunt and Billy Rausch (trombones); "Joe the Horse" Howie Hall (pianist); Gene Gifford (guitarist/arranger/composer); Pat Davis (tenor sax) along with Bobby Jones (trumpet); Tony Briglia (drums); Stan Dennis (bass); Kenny Sargent (sax and vocals) and Clarence Hutchenrider (clarinet) along with Hutch's friend, trumpeter Grady Watts. Mildred Bailey (née Mildred Rinker in Tekoa, Washington) retained the last name of her first husband, Ted Bailey, when she moved to Seattle to bolster her singing career. With the help of her second husband, Benny Stafford, she became an established blues and jazz singer on the West Coast. She sang with Paul Whiteman's band from 1929 to 1931. Her first two records were as uncredited vocalist for an Eddie Lang Orchestra session in 1929 ("What Kind O' Man Is You?", a hardly known Hoagy Carmichael song that was only issued in the UK check merrihews channel for this recording) and a 1930 recording of "I Like To Do Things For You" for Frankie Trumbauer. She was Whiteman's popular female vocalist through 1932, when she left the band due to salary disagreements. She then recorded a series of records for Brunswick in 1933 (accompanied by The Dorsey Brothers), as well an all-star session with Benny Goodman's studio band in 1934 that featured Coleman Hawkins. As the recording presented here proves, however, she had occasionally recorded for Brunswick a couple of years earlier. In the mid 1930s, she recorded with her third husband Red Norvo. A dynamic couple, they earned the nicknames "Mr. and Mrs. Swing". During this period (from 1936-1939) Norvo recorded for Brunswick (with Bailey as primary vocalist) and Bailey recorded her own set of recordings for Vocalion, often with Norvo's band. Some of her recordings instead featured members of Count Basie's band. Despite her divorce from Norvo, she and Red would continue to record together until 1945. Suffering from diabetes and depression, she only made a few recordings following World War II. She died in Poughkeepsie of heart failure, aged only 44, chiefly due to her diabetes. Jazz vocal collectors have always considered her one of the best vocalists of her era. Despite her robust physique, Bailey had a sweet, rather small yet very expressive voice, and quite a light, unique swinging vocal style (refer to many recordings). Many of her most outstanding records were among the best versions recorded.

Chester Leighton & His Sophomores was a pseudonym used for several bands, including those of Fred Rich (like on this record), Harry Reser, Ben Selvin and possibly several more. The conductor featured here - Frederic Efrem "Fred" Rich - was a Polish-born American bandleader and composer who was active from the 20's to the 50's. Among the famous musicians in his band included the Dorsey Brothers, Joe Venuti, Bunny Berigan and Benny Goodman. In the early 30's, Elmer Feldkamp was one of his vocalists. Rich was a pianist and he formed his own band in the 20's. His theme songs were "I'm Always Chasing Rainbows" and "So Beats My Heart For You." Between 1925-1928, he toured Europe. Rich enjoyed a long stay at the famous Waldorf-Astoria in New York City. After this, he began leading studio band that featured many famous musicians. He recorded for Okeh, Columbia, Paramount, Camden and Vocalion and several others, often recording under the names Fred Richards, the Astorites, the Hotel Astor Band (considering that Rich and his band played at the Astor Hotel for a time in the 1920s) and many others. In the late 30's, he would become a musical director for various radio stations and in 1942, he moved onto a staff position with United Artists Studios in Hollywood, where he was to remain for most of his career. In 1945, Rich was badly injured when he suffered a fall. As a result, he contracted partial paralysis. But despite this, Rich continued to lead studio bands into the 1950s. Fred Rich died on September 8, 1956 in California aged 58 after a long illness. As a pianist, Fred Rich has a number of song credits to his name, including "Blue Tahitian Moonlight," "Time Will Tell" and "On The Riviera." He also wrote scores for many movies. On this particular recording Tommy Dorsey and Joe Venuti have really nice jazzy solos. Possibly Tommy's brother Jimmy does some nice filling in on clarinet, altnough it could actually be Tony Parenti who is playing. We hear a strong rhythm section with Eddie Lang, Joe Tarto (?) and Stan King. The vocal is by the great Smith Ballew. He was an excellent singer who worked with the most diverse jazz and dance bands (Ben Pollack, the Dorsey Brothers...); when the Depression struck very harshly, he could no longer perform as a member of other bands, and founded several bands under his own name, before returning to the Dorsey Orchestra and a little later joning the Glenn Miller Orchestra. The present record was made for Harmony on Oct. 29th 1930. It should be noted that the same performance was issued on Clarion as Frank Auburn and his Orchestra, another of those frequently used pseudonyms.
