Johnny Mavin with clarinet, cornet and piano – Marvelous, Fox-Trot (Breen-DeRose) Victor 1927 (USA)
NOTE: Johnny MARVIN – called “a voice of the 1920s” - was along Cliff Edwards and Gene Austin, one of the most popular solo singing Victor artists in the 1920s. While, however, Edwards or Austin mostly recorded ballads, Johnny Marvin’s recordings are bright, upbeat tunes that are quintessential 1920's. He played several string instruments and was a ukulele virtuoso and many uke fans are attracted to his recordings for that reason. Marvin was also in vaudeville and on the radio, having two shows in the early 1930's. In the mid 1930's he also wrote songs and popular Radio shows. Marvin died in 1944, while still in his forties.
