 | Abe Lyman - Don't Be Like That Abe Lyman (1897 - 1957) was a popular bandleader from the 1920s to the 1940s. He made recordings, appeared in films and provided the music for numerous radio shows. His name at birth was Abraham Simon Lymon. Abe and his brother Mike changed their last name to Lyman because they both thought it sounded better. Abe learned to play the drums when he was young, and at the age of 14 he had a job as a drummer in a Chicago café. Around 1919, Abe was regularly playing music with two other notable future big band leaders, Henry Halstead and Gus Arnheim in California. In Los Angeles Mike opened the Sunset, a night club popular with such film stars as Mary Pickford, Norma Talmadge, Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd. When Abe's nine-piece band first played at the Sunset, it was a success, but the club closed after celebrities signed contracts stating they were not to be seen at clubs. For an engagement at the Cocoanut Grove in The Ambassador Hotel on April 1, 1922, Abe added a violinist and saxophonist. Opening night drew a large crowd of 1500 guests in the Cocoanut Grove, plus another 500 more outside. After the band cut their first record under the local label Nordskog, they moved a year later to Brunswick Records where they made many recordings. The Lyman Orchestra toured Europe in 1929, appearing at the Kit Cat Club and the Palladium in London and at the Moulin Rouge and the Perroquet in Paris. Abe Lyman and his orchestra were featured in a number of early talkies, including Hold Everything (1930), Good News (1930) and Madam Satan (1930). In 1931, Abe Lyman and his orchestra recorded a number of soundtracks for the Merrie Melodies cartoon series. During the 1930s, the Lyman Orchestra was heard regularly on such shows as Accordiana and Waltz Time. When Lyman was 50 years old, he left the music industry and went into the restaurant management business. This great record, featuring the most popular band he led (Abe Lyman's California Ambassador Hotel Orchestra) was made for Brunswick on November 26th, 1928. Vocal by Paul (sometimes credited Phil) Neely. Instrumentists included: Al Newman, Gus Arnheim, Ted Dale and Carmen Cavallaro, piano; Al Baker and Louis Rapp, clarinet and alto saxophone; Eddie Dunstedter, pipe organ; Ray Lopez, Howard Fenimore, Red Pepper, Horace Smith and Fred Ferguson, trumpet; Dave Fink, Harry Podalsky aka Podal, Al Rickey, John Schonberger, Charles Kaley, Marty Gold and Dave Herman, violin; Murray Gaer and Gary Gillis, drums; Jake Garcia, brass bass and string bass; Horace "Zip" Keyes and Tommy Macey, clarinet and tenor saxophone; Ed Landry, string bass; Orlando "Slim" Martin, Warren Smith and Arthur Most, trombone; Frank Parrish, guitar; Charlie Pierce and Teddy Powell, banjo, as well as Jim Welton, clarinet, alto saxophone and flute. |
