Rollini joins Richard Himber' Ritz-Carlton hotel band and does some recording work under his own name, but he wants more stability and decides to start a club of his own. This became Adrian's Tap Room where Fats Waller was the piano player/entertainer. Musicians would gather there and often jam together and with the regular band. Also Rollini crossed paths again with Ed Kirkeby who, as an agent for Victor, got him several record dates for that label.With some dates with ARC a.o. with Dick McDonough, Rollini's dark Depression years ended.
Keywords: Richard Himber, Ritz-Carlton, Tap Room, Fats Waller, Victor
