Hot dance bands from okeh 1923-1931

An intriguing mixture of reasonably well-known and almost unheard of sides from Okeh. You may know Cornell's "Collegiate Love", but have you heard Harold Leonard's "Unfortunate Blues"? Scope for those of you who enjoy discography.

This was the last project that John RT Davies began work on for Retrieval, but sadly had to abandon very early in the process. We dedicate this CD to his memory.
