The Revelers were the 1920's most famous group, and illustrate with great musical charm and alacrity the style typical of the era: part vaudeville, barbershop, ragtime and Tin Pan Alley. An all-male ensemble accompanied by their own pianist, (a format later adopted by the Comedian Harmonists), the Revelers benefited by the mainstream acceptance of the newly-popular gramophone, and had many hits, such as "Baby Face," "Valencia," "The Blue Room" and "Dinah" (some recorded under the name The Merrymakers). Though some of the songs connote a novelty aspect to the contemporary ear, the harmonies are sweet and true, the vocal tone exemplary, and the recording quality surprisingly warm and clean. The arrangements are a delight, assimilating the block harmonies of barbershop and the mannered and elegant delivery of the parlor singer.
