Reed player Bingie Madison had a big band in 1930-31 in Harlem that never recorded under his name but which backed Oliver, Williams and Johnson on a series of sessions. Soloists include Madison on tenor sax, Buster Bailey on clarinet, Fred Skerritt on baritone sax, Henry "Moon" Jones on alto, Gene Rodgers on piano, Goldie Lucas on guitar and banjo, Richard Fullbright on bass and tuba, Bill Beason on drums, Jimmy Archey on trombone, Ward Pinkett and Bill Dillard on trumpets. Great transition between "Hot Dance" and the Swing Era!
