Original Tuxedo JazzOrchestra, NO, 1/23/25, OKeh 8215 et al.Oops: neither this nor anything else byCelestin is in copyright books for 1924-26.Oops again: OKeh 8215 does not have acomposer credit on label. (Flip side is PapaDe-Da-Dah by Cl. Williams Blue Five, and itDOES have a composer credit.HJCA HC-6 also no composer credit.More evidence: I have four reissues of this onserious CD labels with serious notes:Memphis Archives, Azure, JSP, and JazzGreats series (UK). Three have no composercredit, last one says “Trad.” That last one ain’tright, but “unknown” sure is, which is where I’llleave it unless one of our reviewers can comeup with some hard evidence.Originola (Hunter L. Kahler)Alex Hassan 1322Confirmed by 7/2/34 copyright reg., Hunter L.Kahler.Copyright reg. isOriginola; by Hunter L. Kahler; pf. in rhythm.© July 2, 1934; E pub. 42660 ; M. M. Colepub. co., Chicago.Other H. L. Kahler registrations in 1934 areFree and Easy, Keyboard Kapers, KleverKapers, Nana, Ripples. The National Library ofAustralia has a folio titled Novelty Solos for thePiano in Rhythm, by Hunter L. Kahler, pub. inSydney by J. Albert & Son, c. 1934. Itcontains all six of these 1934 tunes. And onthe back of “Foolish,” pub. by M. M. Cole inChicago in 1940, I found an ad that folio (for50 cents, obviously the Chicago, not Sydneyversion).Hassan says little known about Kahler, thatthis piece is Bantaesque but that none ofKahler’s other published pieces bear anyresemblance to it.www.allmusic.com/artist/hunter-kahler-mn0000529230 says, in bio sketch of Frank Banta,He was an active composer of instrumentalpieces as well as an interpreter, evenchurning out titles under other names. Thecomplex piano solo "Originola," for example,is a Banta composition credited to thefictitious Hunter Kahler.But the copyright book index gives noindication that Kahler’s a pseudonym (theyusually do), nor could I find any other onlinesite that made such an allegation, so we cansafely ignore it unless and until we find furtherevidence.Orinoco (C. Duane Crabb)Elliott Adams 11981914 says Adams, but it’s not in copyrightbooks 1913-15. Supposedly pub. J. H.Aufderheide, Indianapolis. Aha, found it inYork, Ontario, in the John Arpin collection: It’smarked “Copyright MCMIX by WortendykePublishsing Co. . . . Transferred MCMXI to J.H.
