FLETCHER HENDERSON ORCH

[Grouchy2day]

Armstrong and Buster Bailey were, Charlie Green was from Nebraska, Don Redman from West Virginia, Hawkins from Missouri, Ralph Escudero was from Puerto Rico, Elmer Chambers and Charlie Dixon were from Jersey City, Fletcher and Kaiser Marshall from Georgia. I'm not sure where Howard Scott was from.

These are the people that really introduced "Nawlins" jazz to the East Coast...if memory serves me right, a lot of Henderson's sidemen were from New Orleans, including Louis Armstrong.

@BardCoennius - 1921-mid 1924 no New Orleans players, then late 1924, enter trpt L. Armstrong and cl Buster Bailey from King Oliver's band - late '25 Armstrong leaves, Bailey stays. 1926-27 N.O. player Tommy Ladnier on Trumpet, In '33-34, Henry "Red" Allen trmpt - The earlier acoustic cut in this sample is Pre Armstrong - Coleman Hawkins plays slap-tongue tenor sax there as well - 2nd & 3rd tunes, fr 1927 - Swamp Plues & Off To Buffalo have Ladier ( I think). Buster Bailey's still there too.
