Elmer Schoebel
Elmer Schoebel (September 8, 1896 – December 14, 1970) was an influential American jazz pianist, composer, and arranger. Born in East St. Louis, Illinois, Schoebel began his musical career playing piano for silent films in Champaign, Illinois. He transitioned to vaudeville in the early 1900s and became a member of various jazz bands. In 1920, he performed with the 20th Century Jazz Band in Chicago.

Schoebel's most notable period was with the New Orleans Rhythm Kings from 1922 to 1923. He later led his own bands, including the Midway Gardens Orchestra and the Original Memphis Melody Boys, and joined Isham Jones's ensemble in 1925. Returning to Chicago, he collaborated with musicians like Louis Panico and Art Kassel and worked as an arranger for the Melrose Publishing House.

In the 1930s, Schoebel focused on writing and arranging, becoming the chief arranger for Warner Brothers' publishing division in New York. He continued to perform occasionally from the 1940s onward, playing with Conrad Janis and Blue Steele's Rhythm Rebels, and leading his own groups in St. Petersburg, Florida, where he remained active until his death.

Schoebel composed several jazz standards, including "Bugle Call Rag," "Stomp Off, Let's Go," "Nobody's Sweetheart Now," "Farewell Blues," and "Prince of Wails." His compositions have left a lasting impact on jazz music, even though his name is not widely recognized today.
