EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in a moment of musical camaraderie between c1915 and c1920 is this print by renowned photographer George Grantham Bain's news service. The Crescent Trio, comprising Lewis James, Elliot Shaw, and Charles Hart, stand alongside Hawaiian guitar duo Ferera (Frank Ferera) and Franchini (Anthony Franchini), at an acoustical recording session. This historic moment marks the collaboration between these two groups that would later result in the release of two songs on Okeh Records in 1920.
The photograph showcases the performers standing next to a group of recording horns, their instruments laid out before them as they prepare for what promises to be a memorable musical encounter. The black and white print captures not only the musicians' passion but also the era's unique blend of jazz, blues, and Hawaiian music that was sweeping America during this time.
This rare photograph is a testament to Bain News Service's commitment to documenting significant events in American history. It serves as a window into the past, offering us a glimpse of an exciting period in musical evolution when genres were blending and new sounds were emerging.
