Harold Leonard & His Waldorf Astoria Orchestra - Blue Baby

Despite the grand musical tradtion of New York's Waldorf Astoria Hotel, I could find hardly any specific information about this violinist and bandleader, who was active at the hotel in 1926-1927. Personnel on this 1927 recording was, besides the leader: Ernie Howard and Ivan Brunel, t; Chick Copeland, tb; Dave Brubeck, as-a; Kenneth Lingo and Harold Smith cl-ss-as-ts; Al Lamb, p; Abe Harris, bj; Summer Shaw, bb; Amos Bartin, d. The vocal is by Irving Kaufman. Here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTkyEFjXP6s) Harold Leonard performs a rarely heard, charming composition of his own.
