Hawaiians In Hollywood: Smooth, Sweet & Swinging 1934-1936: Volume 1
A member of the Royal Hawaiian steel guitar Hall of Fame and Museum, Andy Iona was one of Hawaii's most influential musicians. Material here is from his Islanders' first session with Columbia in 1934. Iona became the resident Hawaiian band for Columbia. Included is the rare A take of "On Coconut Island" (the more common "B" take is on Harlequin 112).
