 Harry Reser
Harry Reser was perhaps the greatest banjoist of the 1920s if not the greatest banjoist of all time.
Reser released a series of solo banjo records starting in 1921 which proved that the banjo was not just a rhythm instrument.
Reser continued to be quite active in music for the rest of his life, touring, leading television studio orchestras, playing in Broadway orchestras, recording and writing several popular banjo, guitar and ukulele instruction books.

Care has been taken to preserve the historical value of the lessons, but also included are additions Reser had sketched out on paper to supplement the original manuscript, along with his solo compositions "Toothpicks" and "Clicquot March," which he used as examples in certain lessons.
The material presented is so self-explanatory and concise that this is an invaluable book for today's student as well as the historically inclined collector.

 Dismuke's Hit Of The Week
(Brunswick 3485-A) While many consider Harry Reser to have been one of the world's greatest banjo players, he is best remembered for his dance band The Clicquot Club Eskimos which had one of the first nationally sponsored radio programs over the then new NBC Red Network in the mid 1920s.
Reser's peppy banjo solos were a fixture on most of his band's recordings but they were usually quite brief.
The pianist, Bill Wirges was a member of Reser's band (The band even made some records under the pseudonym of Bill Wirges and His Orchestra.) I particularly enjoy the musical "duel" between banjo and piano halfway through the recording.

 VH1.com : Harry Reser : Biography
Less an improviser than a brilliant technician who could play novelty ragtime with the speed of a pianist, Reser was also one of the most recorded musicians of the era.
Reser actually started on the guitar when he was five and soon he was playing violin, cello and piano; later on he would add marimba, trumpet and saxophone.
It was not until he was 16 (inspired by Vess Ossman and Fred Van Eps), that Reser switched to banjo.

 ECHO V/2: Taylor 2
The sheet music, published in 1926, featured Reser and the other members of the group (mostly banjo players) and the Clicquot mascot, a cherubic “Eskimo,” holding a bottle of ginger ale much too big for him.
The march was every bit as effervescent as its sponsor could have hoped for, with Reser emphasizing the sparkling ginger ale with staccato marks and directions in the music:
The last page of the sheet music of Reser’s “Clicquot Fox Trot March” is an advertisement for Paramount banjos and lists the instrumentation of the group: Paramount tenor banjo; two Paramount plectrum banjos; Paramount melody banjo; Paramount B-flat melody banjo saxophone, piano, tuba, drums, Paramount tenor harps.

Around 1924, Wirges joined the orchestra led by banjoist Harry Reser, which became the Cliquot Club Eskimos on early radio; he also appeared as "Dusty" of the Gold Dust Twins.
In 1925, Wirges made his first three records for Pathé as a bandleader, although the band is basically identical to the Cliquot Club Eskimos and includes Reser.
The earliest of these have a similar personnel to the Cliquot Club Eskimos, but without Reser, and one coupling is issued by the Brunswick Hour Orchestra, suggesting that Wirges was leading this band on a radio program called The Brunswick Hour.
