[from \"The Penguin Jazz Guide\" (10th edition, 2010):]

\"A ‘territory band’, formed by Clarence Hill Hutchins, the Georgia Melodians came from Savannah to New York City, where the Edison Company recorded them. Though Joe Moore’s notes reveal that the band broke up at the end of 1924, they continued to record until 1926. Players like Intlehouse, Kenworthy and Hutchins are about as obscure as any in recorded jazz, and listening to the music reveals why. This is hot dance music with a generous ration of solos (Edison’s vertical-cut discs allowed for much longer playing time than normal 78s) and an honourable intention to swing, but it’s poker-stiff at times. The very earliest tracks, once available on a Retrieval LP, are missing from this otherwise complete edition. Staple numbers such as ‘Spanish Shawl’ and ‘Everybody Loves My Baby’ can be heard better elsewhere, although they do a respectable job on ‘San’. The group broke up in 1929, and nobody thought much about the music until these were reissued in the ’90s. Beautifully clean transfers bring it all back strongly.\"
