The Missourians arrived in New York in 1927 with Andy Preer as their leader and took over as the house band at the Cotton Club. They recorded as the Missourians but were known as the Cotton Club Band while working their gig at the famous club. When Any Preer died, Lockwood Lewis took over as leader in 1928-29 and it was during this time that Cab Calloway began working with the band. Calloway eventually bought the band in 1930 and renamed it Cab Calloway and His Orchestra.
Scenes from the 1926 silent "For Heavens Sake" starring Harold Lloyd as the rich playboy and Jobyna Ralston as the girl running a homeless mission are set as a backdrop to this music. Although this is performed by the Missourians, I thought the silent movie would be more upbeat than showing scenes from the real Market St. Stomp near St. Louis, Missouri where paramilitary soldiers, posing as local police, are stomping protesters. At any rate, Harold devises a plan to coax the criminal element from the Pool Hall Gang into the mission for some soul saving ~ ~ ~ and the Market St. Stomp begins. The scenes were filmed around 1920s downtown Los Angeles.
This novelty record was recorded in New York June 3, 1929 as Victor label V38067A with the band being led by Lockwood Lewis. The disc was also sold as Gramophone R14270 in Italy and Gramophone JF16 in Holland. Other personnel are R Q Dickerson, trumpet and composer; Lamar Wright, trumpet; Andrew Brown, clarinet and tenor sax; George Scott, clarinet and alto sax; dePriest Wheeler, trombone; Earres Price, piano; Leroy Maxey, drums; and Morris White, banjo.
