This appears to be a pseudonym for George Fisher & His Kit-Cat Band. Ukrainian-born US-UK bandleader Fisher (né Fishberg) who had been a member of Art Hickman's band in New York. George came to London in the autumn of 1920 with 4 other musicians as Art Hickman's New York London Five. When they disbanded, Fisher stayed on in Britain; he changed his name and in 1928 formed his own band of British musicians to play at the Kit-Cat Club. He probably returned to the US in the early 30's. After WW2 he became accompanist to Marlene Dietrich during her world tours. He went every winter to play at the Lake Wales (FL). He worked around Lake Placid in the summers and had lots of club and hotel dates. This recording was made in 1928.
