BILL CARLSEN

Bill Carlsen was a competent saxophonist who led Devine's Wisconsin Roof Orchestra in Milwaukee during 1926-1931 and a later orchestra at the Modernistic Ballroom until 1936. ... All of his music was formerly quite rare. None of the sidemen were destined for fame, and the soloists are generally just OK, but the ensembles are appealing, and the music frequently swings well for the period. from allmusic
