Harry Reser |
Title
Harry Reser began with the five string banjo, then the
plectrum and finally with the tenor. In the 20's Novelty ragtime was very
popular and Reser challenged the piano masters by composing equally difficult
ragtime solos. He composed twenty-three original compositions for the
tenor banjo of which ten were novelty rags.
Harry Reser spent a lot of time in the recording studios and recorded
under numerous pseudonyms.
In 1925 He began a ten year association with the Clicquot
Club Company appearing on radio with his Eskimo band. During the 30's he
traveled extensively around the world.
