Description
The Bennie Moten band was the primary African-American band in Kansas City and the Oklahoma, St. Louis and Chicago regions for almost the entirety of the 1920's . . here we have their first recordings for OKeh and first two for Victor, chronically their development from 1923's New Orleans-styled group to the almost Fletcher Henderson sound of 1926 featuring Woodie Walder on clarinet, Lammar Wright on cornet, Thamon Hayes on trombone, Harlan Leonard on alto and Moten himself on piano.
