All eleven sides were recorded in Dallas, Texas in October 1929 and November 1930. Money Johnson was in the band early in his career. Regular members were: Henry Thompson (tp), Stanlee Hardee (tp), Albert Mitchell (tb), Adrian Kenney (as/bar), Charles "Sugar Lou" Morgan (p), Eddie Fennell (bj/vcl, arr), and Lee Scott (dr). |
