[78-L] Jack Jackson date

[simmonssomer]

I may be bringing coal to Newcastle(again) but as far as I know Jackson was 
at the Dorchester Hotel in London from 1933 through 1939.In that context the 
notation in Rust's "Jazz Records" that he recorded 1934 records at the 
Dorchester may be a clue to location of the 1935 sessions.

Many years ago HMV microfilmed a lot of its paperwork. A copy is on file at 
the British Library Sound Archive. Not much pre-merger stuff from Columbia 
except catalogs but Gramophone and Victor are pretty thoroughly represented. 
(no Movie book though). I took a quick look while there for ARSC in 2003. I 
have a copy of the finding aid somewhere...

interesting stuff!I went to the Abbey Road Studios Web site  and saw there 
were, and are, three studios. Any thoughts as to which one might have been 
used for a dance-band side like the Jack Jackson item in question? Studio 
One seems bigger than necessary, and Studio Three seems too small given the 
sound on the recording. That leaves -- well -- Studio Two, which is referred 
to as "the most famous studio in the world."And I wonder if a recording 
sheet exists for that Jackson 28 Feb 1935 session...too much to ask, no 
doubt!Take care,Joe—Cats: I've got 'em right where they want
