[78-L] Mel Henke on Tempo Records (was Brother Bones)

[Dan Van Landingham]

How "ultra-modern" was Mel Henke?Just what kind of a pianist was he.I'm guessing that
"Brother Bones" was actually a spoons player like one "Mister Goon Bones" who recorded
with ragtime pianist Del Wood of "Down Yonder Fame.When I saw that phrase "ultra modern",it made me recall a record date Bud Freeman did for V Disc circa 1944.

================
I don't have 466, but "Frenzied Flight" starts off as if it is speeded 
up (or a "jangle" sound), but settles down to a normal piano sound.

So it looks like there are no more than four titles with the larger group.
