Collector's Checklists
BEN POLLACK 33s
by Music Librarian Christopher Popa
Because I was disappointed in the small number of Ben Pollack LPs released and most of those boast of Pollack’s sidemen (Goodman, Miller, Teagarden) more than him, I decided - probably in error - to reference The New Orleans Rhythm Kings and The Stomp Six LPs here, playing up the fact that Pollack briefly played drums for them in the 1920s and I had the information before me. Admittedly, neither group was Pollack’s own band.
