Abe Lyman's California Ambassador Hotel Orchestra, voc. Ed Landry - Never Swat a Fly (DeSylva /Brown/Henderson), Brunswick 1930
----------------------------------------------------------------
Abe LYMAN (whose real name was Simon) started out as a drummer. His brother, Mike, was the owner of the Trent Cafe In Los Angeles, where Bing Crosby got his first professional job. Never an outstanding conductor, Lyman never-the-less had a popular dance band. In the 'roaring twenties' Lyman and Gus Arnheim started their career as joint leaders of the "Syncopated Five" band. They co-wrote "I Cried for You" while with this group. After splitting, Arnheim went on to lead his own band at the famed Cocoanut Grove in Los Angeles, while Abe went on to form his own orchestra too. From his first band, in the '20s, Abe was still conducting into the '40s. He even put together a new band in 1943 with Sy Zentner and Ray Heath on trombones, Marty Gold on violin, Wolffe Tannenbaum -- sax. His wife Rose Blane, was also in the band.

A big part of why it's so "hot" is Abe's terrific drumming

To dzheger and others:
I was born in 1937. In those years prior, during, and after WWII, many Jewish people took names that were not so obviously Jewish. Simon is one of those obvious ones.
Before the war many people in Europe saw the direction of the Nazi plans; here at home some public sentiment was against the Jews - some people were more outspoken that others, so many people changed their names out of concern or fear.
I remember hearing that from my grandparents and others.
