This was Wilbur Sweatman's biggest hit with 180,000 copies produced in 1919. The flip side was Alcoholic Blues by the Louisiana Five Jazz Orchestra. Sweatman is credited as being the first to record jazz.

  • "Sweatman is credited as being the first to record jazz."

    I think that is supposed to read "the first black man to record jazz".
