- Comments
- In 1916, following the groundbreaking success of the Six Brown Brothers on Victor Records and on Broadway, Harry Yerkes organized a saxophone sextet to record for rival Columbia Records. Between 1916 & 1921, the Columbia Saxophone Sextette (aka Saxo Sextette) recorded several dozen sides. Although the group featured several of the best saxophonists of the day (Rudy Wiedoeft, Ross Gorman, Benny Krueger and others), the individual members never received publicity through Columbia’s advertising.
