Nye Mayhew Country Club Orchestra - This Time It's Love

  • 15 years ago
Tenor saxophonist Nye Mayhew did lead a band for a couple of years between 1937 and 1939. The band never broke through despite the facts that it was backed by Hal Kemp and used Hal's arranger, John Scott Trotter (who also played the piano in the band). Hugo Winterhalter played Sax. The Band had dates at both the Glen Island Casino and the Hotel Pennsylvania. However, on this 1933 recording, it is a pseudonym, according to several sources for Freddy Martin's orchestra. However, trumpet player Weinstock is not present and the orchestra has no brass section, hence it probably is a working orchestra. The vocalist credits often mention Elmer Feldkamp, which is definitely wrong. Other sources mention a certain Doug Newman, whom I have never heard of and who is in fact Dick Robertson.
