Ray Miller

b. USA. Miller’s musical apprenticeship arrived within the six member MONOCHROME Melody Young boys in NEW YORK, NY, USA. They presented in several NY musical productions, before Miller founded a full-scale dance music group orchestra in the first 20s. This presented sidemen Ward Archer (drums), Charlie Rocco (trumpet), Miff Mole (trombone), Danny Yates (violin), Roy Johnston (trumpet), Rube Bloom and Tommy Satterfield (piano), Louie Chasone (tuba), Frank Trumbauer, Andy Sinella, Billy Richards and Andy Sandolar (saxophone) and Frank O. Prima (banjo). At different instances the vocalists had been Irving Kaufman, Frank Wright, Harry Maxfield as well as the Downe Sisters. They truly became a highly graded musical appeal in the brand new York region, where Miller focused his actions. This included residencies at the brand new York Hippodrome, Arcadia Ballroom and Atlantic Town. Recordings had been released on brands such as for example Gennett, OKeh Information, Columbia Information and Brunswick Information, though by the first 30s the music group had opted their separate methods.
