Popular Aggregation of Jazz Artists to Write
for Fred Fisher, Inc.—Public Taste for Jazz
Music Seems to Be as Strong as Ever
We have recently had some reports, emanat-
ing mostly from far-off centers, that jazz is
dead or dying. The truth of this, however, can-

We do know, at any rate, that there are more
jazz bands than ever before. Jazz music has
not decreased in sales and the musical instru-
ment and small goods manufacturers tell us
that there were never more saxophones and in-
struments that make for jazz sold than at the
present time. Among the organizations that
play jazz most effectively is the aggregation
billed as the "Louisiana Five," whose picture
some of the best professors here and abroad.
Chas. Reid, the pianist, was formerly connected
with the American Ragtime Octette, who are
said to have been the introducers of ragtime
abroad.
Fred Fisher, Inc., has just signed a contract
with the "Louisiana Five" whereby this quintet
will write exclusively for this firm. Six of their
songs will be released shortly. "The Blue Jay
Blues," the initial number of these new releases,
has already been announced.

"My Old Home of Yesterday"
A Waltz Ballad of the Better Class
Frank H. Grey, the composer, who is par-
ticularly well known for his ballads, is the
writer of a new song entitled "In the Dusk,"
published by M. Witmark & Sons. It is de-
scribed as an ideal fox-trot ballad of the type
that is in special favor at present.
Frank
Hamblen, himself a writer and composer of a
number of successful songs, has written a lyric
for the melody.
M. Witmark & Sons are planning a b'g pub-
licity campaign on this new song and this ex-
ploitation will extend to the various fields, in-
cluding the band and orchestra, professional
and sales end. Twenty thousand orchestrations
of the number have already been distributed,
so it will, without doubt, be heard frequently.
BILL JACOBS IN THE WEST
Bill Jacobs, traveling representative of Irv-
ing Berlin, Inc., is now on a trip visiting the
trade in the West and will shortly reach the
Pacific Coast. He reports the catalog of his
firm is showing much activity, especially the
new novelty number, "My Little Bimbo Down
on the Bamboo Isle."
