Collective personnel: Earl Oliver, Tommy Gott, Hymie Farberman, occasionally Red Nichols (c. 1925 only), t / Sam Lewis,­ tb / Larry Abbott, cl, as, comb / Norman Yorke, ts / Jimmy Johnston, bsx / Joe Venuti and/or Murray Kellner, vn / Bill Wirges, p / Harry Reser, bj, g / Joe Tarto, bb, when used / Tom Stacks d, v; sometimes other vocalists, occasionally other instrumentalists.

Harry Reser was an American banjo/guitarist who made hundreds of comedic and "vo-de-o-do" sides, solo and with bands, for most of the recording companies in New York from 1921 to the 1950s. There is jazz among them, but the quantity of recordings is so great and the jazz content so varied, that they require a book to themselves; hence, a listing of band names commonly used by Harry Reser will suffice here:

The Blue Kittens, The Campus Boys*, The Clicquot Club Eskimos, Jerome Conrad and his Orchestra* , Carl Fenton and his Orchestra*, The Four Minstrels (Oliver, Larry Abbott, Wirges, Reser), The High Hatters (not the Victor band), Phil Hughes and his High Hatters (Pathé / Perfect only), The Jazz Pilots, Jimmy Johnston’s Rebels, Night Club Orchestra, Okeh Syncopators, Parlophone Syncopators , Earl Oliver’s Jazz Babies, The Plantation Players, The Rounders*, The Seven Little Polar Bears, Seven Rag Pickers , Seven Wild Men (q.v.) , The Six Hayseeds, Six Jumping Jacks, Tom Stacks and his Minute Men, Victorian Syncopators, Bill Wirges and his Orchestra (q.v.). The names marked * were also used to cover other bands. Records by the Seven Wild Men and Bill Wirges and his Orchestra are included in this work as they are of somewhat less commercial or comedy-type material.

The name of HARRY RESER'S DANCE ORCHESTRA on Imperial 1844 (I AIN'T GOT NOBODY) was used in error, or as a pseudo­nym, for the California Ramblers, q.v.
