The Colonial Club Orchestra was actually a recording pseudonym that almost always masked the Bob Haring Orchestra. Although Bob Haring primarily recorded for Brunswick under various names, he also recorded for many dime store labels such as Cameo, Romeo and Regal. On these labels he can be found as "The Society Night Club Orchestra", "The Caroliners" and the "Hollywood Dance Orchestra". Occasionally he also appears under his own name on the dime store labels.
Haring was a skilled bandleader and arranger, working with many top talents such as Libby Holman, Scrappy Lambert and Dick Robertson during his decade long tenure.

I personally love the music of the 1920's and early 30's. It must have something to do with the old "Little Rascals" shorts. The style of harmony from this period was "borrowed" from time to time by The Beatles among others. Just a great,happy,fun sound.
