The Chocolate Dandies – Dee Blues, Fox-Trot (B.Carter) Odeon 1930 (Recorded in New York; German release)

NOTE: “Chocolate Dandies” was a name used by a number of different jazz ensembles in the United States from the 1920s into the 1940s. The name \"Chocolate Dandies\" originally came from a 1924 stage show written by Eubie Blake and Noble Sissle. A unit led by Don Redman was the first to record with it on the Okeh label in 1928-1929. He also recorded with McKinney's Cotton Pickers and released material with that ensemble under this name. Benny Carter had several ensembles in the 1930s which he called the Chocolate Dandies; versions of these groups continued to play into the 1940s, and counted among their members Coleman Hawkins, Max Kaminsky, Buck Clayton, and some members of Fletcher Henderson's band. In this recording, the Chocolate Dandies include: Rex Stewart (cnt) Leonard Davis (tp) J.C. Higginbotham (tb) Benny Carter (cl) Don Redman (as) Coleman Hawkins (ts) Fats Waller (p) Bobby Johnson (bj) Cyrus St. Clair (tu) George Stafford (d).
