1920s JAZZ -- "Jazz De Luxe" -- Fuller's Jazz Band -- Edison

"Jazz De Luxe" is being heard on Edison 4-min. Blue Amberol cylinder # 3610 by EARL FULLER'S FAMOUS JAZZ BAND...recorded June 13, 1918 in New York City. A year before, Fuller was leading a society dance band (Earl Fuller's Rector Novelty Orchestra) at the popular Rector's Restaurant in New York City. Their records for Victor, Columbia, Emerson, and Edison sold well from 1918 to 1920. Fuller ensembles helped popularize dance band trends of that period. FOR SEVERAL of his earliest sessions, he led a small jazz ensemble identified on record labels as Earl Fuller's Famous Jazz Band, which was probably formed at the suggestion of Victor executives eager to duplicate the success of the first disc of the Original Dixieland Jass Band, made in late-February of 1917. Because of various grievances, the Original Dixieland Jass Band severed ties with Victor for a year, after making its first record, and started to record for Columbia and the new Aeolian-Vocalion label. Fuller's hastily assembled jazz group filled the void, enabling Victor later in 1917 to meet a sudden demand for jazz music. Seen in the photo in the video in Earl Fuller's Famous Jazz Band are Harry Raderman on trombone, Ted Lewis on clarinet, John Lucas on drums, Earl Fuller at the piano, and Walter Kahn on cornet. REQUEST: I was unable to find birth and death dates for Fuller. Can anyone supply them?
