HARRY A. YERKES
Yerkes, who first recorded in 1906 as a xylophone soloist, became a successful band contractor, and between 1917 and 1924 he booked many sessions on Columbia and other labels using the various groups under his management, sometimes with results of interest as ragtime or rudimentary jazz. Some of these appeared as The Happy Six (q.v.); the others known to come within this definition are listed below.
