DESCRIPTION:
Abe Lyman’s California Orchestra –Nothing Else To Do, Fox-Trot (Goodwin – Shea [Shay?]) with Vocal Chorus by Charles Kaley, Brunswick 1926 (USA)

NOTE: Abe Lyman’s dance orchestra was one of the most prolific and longest active West Coast bands of the Roaring 1920s. Similarly to Paul Whiteman’, the Lyman’s band after almost whole decade of the 1920s, when it worked for its deserved reputation of one of the leading American dance bands of the Jazz age, it managed to survive Great Depression and continued its successful performing thru the 1930s. However, in the late 1940s Lyman gave up musical business and switched to a restaurant managing. He died in Beverly Hills in 1957.
