Foor-Robinson Carolina Club Orchestra dir. by William Truesdale – Rose Of  The Nile, Fox Trot (Duff), Okeh 1925 (USA; recorded in the George Vanderbilt Hotel in Asheville, N.C.) 

NOTE: In the last week of August, 1925 the Okeh Records arranged the recording session in  Asheville N.C.. The New York-based plant, whose mission was to experiment with music for audiences neglected by the larger record companies and discover lesser-known musicians, took trips to various locations where, with a portable studio, its engineers pressed wax test records. The Asheville session attracted musicians and vocalists from around the Southern regions, with styles ranging from jazz to gospel and country. 60 records were cut in a provisional studio on the rooftop of the Vanderbilt Hotel. The Foor-Robinson Carolina Club Orchestra was the house band at the Vanderbilt Hotel.
