Johnny Noble's Brunswick Legacy

John Avery Noble, the “Hawaiian Jazz King” of the 1920s at the Moana Hotel, was an enterprising young man.
As a child, he sold newspapers on Honolulu street corners, and became known as the “Whistling Newsboy”.
He then learned to play the drums, piano, and xylophone.
Eventually he took over as orchestra leader at the Moana Hotel, and wrote many hapa haole songs.
But his most impressive legacy may be the 1927 Brunswick recordings that he scouted and supervised in Honolulu, featuring the most gifted entertainers of the day.
