"Carl Fenton" began as a pseudonym for Walter Haenschen, who was Brunswick's arranger and first musical director during the 1920s. Walter Haenschen subcontracted the "Fenton" sessions to various free-lance musicians, most notably Harry Reser but also Bennie Krueger. In 1926, Reser's violinist, Reuben Greenberg, began directing the Fenton sessions for Brunswick. When Walter Haenschen retired in 1927, Greenberg acquired the rights to the Fenton pseudonym and released records under this name on other labels.
