Description
“Baby Face” by Markel’s Orchestra 1926
Red Nichols on Trumpet
"Baby Face" is a popular song. The music was written by Harry Akst, the lyrics by Benny Davis. The song was published in 1926. That same year, Jan Garber had a number one hit with the song.
There is virtually no information I could find on Mike Markel or his orchestra. They were prolific record makers as you can see the DAHR discography below. And, it seems many famous players were with him at one time or another. So, why no info? A mystery to me.
