Indiana Five - Stavin Change (1923)
September 7, 1923
Johnny Sylvester-t
Charles Panelli-tb
Nick Vitalo-cl-as
Harry Ford-p/?
Tony Colucci-banjo
Tom Morton-d.
Don't be fooled by the name. These musicians are not from Indiana. We aren't always hearing five musicians. As for the word "Original," that is just following the example set by the Original Dixieland Jazz Band (and the music is not truly original though it is admirable--other New York musicians were playing in the same manner at this time).
Another name for this ensemble is John Sylvester and His Orchestra (or Johnny Sylvester & His Orchestra). Some Gennett labels give the name as John Sylvester and His Playmates.
These are some of the musicians used at different times, issued under one of the names I mentioned.
Larry Abbott = Clarinet, Alto Saxophone
Charlie Bates = Piano
Tony Colucci = Banjo
Johnny Costello = Clarinet
Eddie Edwards = Trombone
Elle Evans = Trumpet
Harry Ford = Piano
Jimmy Lytell = Clarinet, Tenor Saxophone
Roy Madison = Piano
Tom Morton = Drums
Mark Martini = Trombone
Pete Pelizzi = Trombone
Johnny Ringer = Drums
Frank Reino = Banjo
Andy Sannella = Clarinet, Alto Saxophone
Johnny Sylvester = Trumpet, Leader
Joe Tarto = Bass Brass
