Swingtime Harmonists
OR some time now the Swingtime Harmonists have been pleasing listeners whose special predilection is for light music presented in a modern way. Now comes the news that 2YA Wellington will have them on the air in greater strength. They have grown from their original four-three vocalists and
Henry Rudolph, by the addition of a four-piece band. Henry: Rudolph speaks with enthusiasm of the fresh scope the larger combination gives. The pianist is John Parkin who has had. much experience on stage and radio in Australia as well as in New Zealand. String bass player is Jimmy Grant, well-known in the Port Nicholson Band for many years. On the drums and vibraphone is Norm. Hull-Brown, who has had fifteen years’ experience in this section, and has been associated with Mr. Rudolph for that period. Mr. Rudolph himself needs no introduction to. listeners-he has been a prominent figure in dance band circles in Wellington for about 18 years. He plays the saxophone and accordion. The vocalists, who have been singing together now for four years, are Sylvia Devenie, Kathleen and Eileen Atley. Incidentally, these broadcasts. will introduce a new instrument, similar to the ocarina-the Tonette, which, Mr. Rudolph says, has a small but very sweet flutey tone.
