[78-L] Fiend and the Jazz Hounds

[Ron L'Herault]

I took the disk in question up to Ed Reynolds Saturday night.  We were
having a listening session and there were several collectors there.  One
noted that the numbers looked like ARC numbers and using them he placed the
disk in 1936.   We listened to the disk and it is definitely an amateur
group.   It came from Al Vega and so we suspect that it might be his high
school band but this is just speculation at this point.  The address, 79
Brookline in Boston is very close to Fenway park.

was going by Hal Kemp's. But Ellington himself -- via a recording credited
to Barney Bigard -- did not get around to "Caravan" until December 1936. I
guess the chart may have been around earlier, and Ellington didn't do very
much in 1935 as his mother died and he took most of the year off. However
it's hard to imagine that a local band would record it before Ellington did.
Ot maybe it's not the same "Caravan" that we know?
