SEE COLUMBIA DOUBLE QUARTET
A house orchestra for Columbia in 1896-1909, replacing Issler’s Orchestra in that capacity. Directors were Fred Hager (from the late 1890s to about 1902-03), Charles Adam Prince (ca. 1902-1905, when he established his own Prince’s Orchestra), and Tom Clark. They had more than 100 cylinders in Columbia’s 1897 catalog. The first disc record issued with a Columbia label, in 1902, was made by this group; they played “In a Clock Store.” Waltz recordings were among their favorites.
