Truly remarkable, even after Louis left. Still an S+ tier group. Personally my favorite piece from Henderson's orchestra.

Fletcher is widely recognized as the man who led the first band playing swing, as we know it today.

I'm not sure if this is the very first, but certainly it's one of the first solos recorded by the tenor father Coleman Hawkins

La cornetta vale da sola un oscar: ma tutta l' orchestra, il timing delle entrate degli strumenti è vorticoso, spiazzante. Era il 1926 periodo dei vari Bix, Louis, jelly . Bessy e King Olly, per non dimenticare Clarence Williamce. Franco da Roma Italia

Fletcher Henderson is the Abraham Lincoln of Swing.😁😚

The first transfer of this recording that I've heard that was NOT full of hissing--mine included. The original 78 pressing is very noisy for some reason.

This is and sounds FANTASTIC!!! Atticus, do you know with this lineup at this time who would be taking the hot trumpet breaks? Thank you so much! :^D 🎺 LP

Hard to tell if it is a very good acoustic or early electrical recording....
