[78-L] Judson, was Re: Sampson, also Nat Brusiloff

[David Lennick]

This Judson disc bears investigation. No hot fiddle, but a hot little combo 
consisting of trumpet (muted), clarinet and piano, and the most horrendous 
female duo imaginable, whose names sound like Ruth Lenn (or Lennon) and 
Catherine Kent, in a medley of real warm numbers (My Future Just Passed, I Love 
You So Much etc). Philco Program 9 Part 3, mx JS 568.

> Some Judsons that aren't Eugene Ormandy's Salon Orchestra? Amazing. Actually I have one blue label Judson I should check, since it's non-classical..part of a program, no artist on the label. Judson was a syndicated label named for artist manager and CBS co-founder Arthur Judson. Columbia (which co-owned the Columbia Broadcasting System but pulled out after about 3 months) did the pressings. Philco was an early sponsor of Judson transcribed programs.
