Ben Selvin (1898 - 1980) was the recording director at Columbia records. Still in his thirties, Selvin already had nearly two decades in the music business as a violinist, an orchestra leader, a songwriter, a music contractor, a radio conductor and a recording artist. As recording director for Columbia Selvin organized sessions for popular singers like Ruth Etting, Ethel Waters and Kate Smith and produced dates by studio groups that were sometimes released under his own name, sometimes under pseudonyms as The Columbia Photo Players and The Midnight Minstrels. He also supervised many of Benny Goodman's early recording sessions, featuring Red Nichols, Tommy Dorsey, Manny Kline, Adrian Rollini, Rube Bloom and Eddie Lang.
