Reser’s Roaring Rhythms, remastered by The Digital Gramophone Company for its 2025 release in Europe and the UK, is a dynamic tribute to the virtuosic banjoist Harry Reser and his influential contributions to 1920s jazz.
Known as the “Banjo King,” Reser led his Clicquot Club Eskimos, a popular radio orchestra, and this collection of 12 tracks captures the effervescent energy of his dance band at its peak, blending hot jazz with the peppy syncopation that defined the era.
Likely featuring spirited renditions of tunes like “The Flapper Wife” or “Lolly Pops,” the album showcases Reser’s dazzling banjo technique alongside lively ensemble work, with bright brass and playful rhythms that evoke the exuberance of the Jazz Age.
Remastered to highlight the crispness of the original recordings, this release offers vintage music fans and jazz enthusiasts a chance to rediscover Reser’s infectious style and his role in shaping the sound of 1920s popular music.
