(This is the same Eddie King who infamously ejected Bix Beiderbecke from his first Victor session in 1924. He replaced Fred Hager as Zonophone’s house conductor in April 1906, although Hager allowed Zono to continue to use his name on band records for a time after his departure. King was retained by Victor after Zonophone shut down in 1912 and was made house conductor — and later, manager — of Victor’s New York studio. He also oversaw many of Victor’s recording “expeditions” to other cities.)
