The Jesters

American vocal group active in the 1940s, specialized in spoken comedy and novelty songs. Members: [b]Wamp Carlson[/b] accordion, [b]Dwight "Red" Latham[/b] mandocello & [b]Guy Bonham[/b] standup bass. All three were singers, comedians & songwriters in the group. They first performed singing commercials on radio for shows sponsored by the Green Brothers Company of Springfield, Mass., and Trenton, N.J., the makers of Tastyeast candy bars in 1930. They were then known as the "Tastyeast Jesters". Changing their name to "The Jesters", the group became known for their novelty songs and snappy patter. They appeared in seven films together between 1939-1945. They sometimes sang and recorded with Bing Crosby as Bing Crosby and the Jesters.
