A very young Mary Lou Williams plays on these records under the stage name of Mary Lou Burleigh. The band is her future husband's group. They had recorded a month earlier with a vaudeville vocalist under the name of Jeanette James and her Synco Jazzers. The March 5th, 1927 recording session was released under the names of Duke Jackson's Seranaders (Gennett), Bud Helms and his Band (Champion), and as John Williams and his Memphis Stompers (Black Patti).
